We'll be making announcements soon regarding the game's release date. Stay tuned! :D

The Beastieball playtest is coming to a close soon, and for the final 48 hours, we’re allowing everybody to have access! Just visit the game on Steam and request access to join the Playtest! (And don’t forget to wishlist while you’re there… heheh…)

But that’s not all. We’re ending the Playtest with a big livestream event!

This Sunday, October 20, we’ll be hosting an invitational tournament for some of the most competitive Beastieball players in our community. Just us at Klei’s twitch channel from 10AM PST to roughly 1PM PST for exciting matches and developer commentary!

Enjoy the Playtest, and see you at the tourney!

Our FINAL Preview Playtest is right around the corner! From October 14 to 21, during the upcoming NextFest, we’ll be letting players explore a bit further into the world of Beastieball with a preview of Chroma Sea, the southern ocean area.

If you want to play, visit our store page and click ‘Request Access’! We’ll start sending keys out in batches starting on October 14. Note that requests will be granted by random selection and not everybody will get in! If you have participated in previous Playtests or previously requested access, you're automatically rolled over into this one as well.

(If you’re a Content Creator, you can request a playtest key via Keymailer here.)

Save files from the free demo or the previous Playtests will carry over into this Playtest. In fact, if you had access to the previous Playtest then you will be automatically included in this one as well. And your save data will carry over from Playtests to the final release, too - we know how important your team is and we want you to be able to finish your journey with them no matter what!

That’s all for now. See you in the Chroma Sea next week! :)

Our next Preview Playtest is right around the corner! From August 12 to 19, we’ll be letting players explore a bit further into the world of Beastieball with a preview of Mythwood, the foresty area to the north.

[h2]PAX West![/h2]

While we’re here, we just want to let you know that we’ll be showing Beastieball at PAX West in Seattle from August 30 to September 2. We’ll also have cool exclusive merch available! If you happen to be in town we hope you’ll stop by and say hello :)

That’s all for now. See you in Mythwood… or Seattle!

Ah, the Chroma Sea… a vast ocean zone, dotted with islands and enclosed by a massive barrier reef. You’ll need to take out a rental sailboat if you want to navigate those waters. And for coaches who explore its sun-kissed shores, you might rarely find this colorful challenger hankering for a Beach-stieball match.



Squimage is unique among Beasties in many ways. For one, they have an exceptionally wide range of color variations - an individual Squimage’s ink can be just about any color of the rainbow.



Squimage are eager learners, adept at mimicry and able to learn a surprisingly wide range of skills. They’re one of the very, very select group of Beasties who can wield Body, Spirit and Mind-type plays, making them a diverse threat that’s challenging to defend against. It’s not just a gimmick! Their POW stats in all types are quite high, so if you underestimate them then you’ll surely be punished.
