Hello everyone!
Today we’ve got our 6th and final development post for The Broken Beyond expansion, which releases in just 3 days time on the 22nd of June! This post is going to give you a sneak peak at some of the new space levels that’ll be dropping with the expansion.
The Broken Beyond campaign is set in the Aranea star system, home to the planet Besian which hosts Besiege’s original campaign. Besian is far from Aranea’s only inhabited planet and you’ll quickly find yourself coming up against a space-faring civilization known as The Void Drifters.
In an early level you’ll come across the crash site of a Void Drifter troop transport, perhaps destined for Besian as a scouting party or even an early invasion force.
As you progress deeper into the star system, you’ll encounter a colony, on the planet of Iotun, that’s been taken over by fiercely cute creatures known as Xenomaws. They’re very energetic so watch yourself!
The Void Drifters regularly host speeder races through the canyons of Doon. There are no rules, so demonstrate what a real machine is capable of and ensure you win no matter what.
The Drifters extract a variety of resources from all over the star system to supply their civilization. Their refineries and mines are easy targets for war machines hell-bent on chaotic destruction.
Along with the campaign, The Broken Beyond expansion also features its own sandbox environment which includes several planets and moons for you to travel between, manipulate and terrorise.
The new space expansion will also feature secondary objectives, just like the base game and water campaigns do, along with some new achievements for you to unlock. Sorry, not sorry 🙃
Launch Day Stream
Spiderling’s Community Manager Sam will be livestreaming the new expansion at 1pm BST on Monday the 22nd of June, so tune in to get an early peak and join the countdown to launch!
That’s everything for this week, we hope you’re as excited as we are about the upcoming launch! We can’t wait to see what wacky space machine chaos you unleash amongst the stars!
Cheers everyone,
Von
