Grove Street Games has unveiled BeastLink, a multiplayer action title centered on kaijus. Humanity survives in fortresses while colossal creatures dominate the ruins. Players will battle in destructible cities, collect serum, and bond with beasts of unique abilities. It will arrive on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC in early access this summer, with a closed beta for PC on May 8.
Serum, bonds, and real-time destruction physics 🏗️
The technical core of BeastLink lies in the mechanic of bonding with beasts using serum collected on the battlefield. Each creature offers distinct combat styles, from charges to area attacks. The physics engine allows for total destruction of urban environments, affecting player mobility and cover. The closed PC beta will serve to fine-tune performance and balance between human fortresses and playable creatures.
Because we all wanted a giant lizard with connection issues 🦎
Grove Street Games bets on the fantasy of controlling a monster that wreaks cities, but surely in the beta we'll see more than one trying to bond with a beast and ending up arguing with their roommate over bandwidth. Because yes, nothing screams epic kaiju like a connection lost message while your creature freezes in the middle of a half-collapsed skyscraper.
