Hello Everyone!

Today we'd like to share our roadmap for the next 6 months of Besiege PC development and announce that Besiege is out now on the Nintendo Switch (Asia coming Dec 12th)!

Switch & Playstation Launch Schedule:

NA/EU/AUNZ Nintendo Switch - OUT NOW!
Playstation 4 & 5 - October/November (Undetermined date)

Asia Nintendo Switch - 12th of December
Playstation 4 & 5 - 12th of December Physical Copies (Japan Only) - 12th of December


This year's been an exciting one for us so far, but it's not over yet! As you can see in the graphic below, we have 2 more free PC updates planned for this year and a special 10 year anniversary update planned for early 2025!


We also have plans for further development throughout 2025, but we'll talk more about that next year.

[h3]Level Editor Update[/h3]
After the Splintered Sea's campaign update, we wanted to take some time to revist the level editor.
We're not going to get too deep into specifics in this post but in the next update you can expect to see a lot more objects added to the editor (including some of the cooler more complicated ones.. stay tuned), better support for making water levels and some general quality of life improvements for the game.

Our goal with this update is to give our awesome community (you guys) more content and options to create exciting levels/environments for everyone to enjoy!

[h3]Block Update[/h3]
This update will contain several new blocks for you to explore, each offering new utility to your machine designs.

[h3]10 Year Anniversary Update[/h3]
We can't believe it's been almost 10 years already! So much has happened in that time and to celebrate we'll be releasing an update that's focussed around that history; revisiting & revitalizing some of Besiege's historical content and adding new challenges to the game!

Besiege on Nintendo Switch offers a new way of playing the classic game, with the portability of the Switch allowing you to enjoy the creative sandbox anywhere, anytime. The intuitive controls and touch-screen capabilities of the Switch have been seamlessly integrated, offering new ways to interact with and build your machines. Place blocks with a tap of your finger or use the drag god tool to smash enemies and fling your machine about.

Touch screen controls work with the entire user interface and also allow you to control the camera. You can even touch a cannon to make it fire!

Please note, that due to technical limitations, the console versions of Besiege do not include Multiplayer or the Level Editor.

That's everything for today, but there's an exciting year ahead for Besiege and we can't wait to show you more of what we have planned!

Cheers everyone!
Von

Playism will be offering physical versions of the game in Japan (and possibly other Asian regions later on), you can pre-order right now!
We did try to secure a physical release for other regions as well, but we had a lot of trouble finding a partner who’d be willing to publish physical copies for a game that’s already released.
