Beastlink: a new multiplayer kaiju experience

Beastlink, a promising new multiplayer game, has been announced by developer Grove Street Games. The game puts players into two different roles in a world where massive monsters known as kaiju rule the battlefield and humanity fights to survive. It promises an innovative gameplay experience with fully destructible environments, creating a unique clash between players.

Game overview

Beastlink is a 32-player multiplayer game where players can choose to play as humans, in vehicles, or as colossal kaiju. The game uses a physics-based system called SuperDestruction, allowing players to tear apart cities and build their own strategies. With four kaiju available at launch — Horned Lizard, Bull Shark, Vampire Bat, and Mandrill — each player can explore unique abilities and playstyles.

Destruction and gameplay

Beastlink’s gameplay centers on capturing resources to enable an experimental process that links players to dormant kaiju. The city maps are designed with as many as 250,000 destructible objects, adding depth to exploration and tactical play in every match. Players can control huge areas while adapting to different game modes, some built for solo players and others for team-based battles.

Development and studio background

Grove Street Games, a studio founded in 2007, has previously worked on the Grand Theft Auto series and other titles. Its past experience includes developing ports for well-known Rockstar games. Beastlink marks the studio’s first major step into a new genre, focused on creating an almost fully destructible play space that gives players the freedom to literally break the world around them.

Conclusion

Beastlink has the potential to be an interesting addition to the multiplayer gaming scene. Its mix of destructive gameplay and monster-driven action, backed by an experienced development team, could appeal strongly to fans of the genre. With early access set to arrive this summer, the community will soon find out whether the game can live up to the hype.
