Spiderling Studios, the studio behind Besiege, announced a new expansion to their physics-based builder. Besiege: The Splintered Sea, which will be released on May 24 on Steam, is focused on a pirate and sea exploration theme.
In the new expansion, players battle through a 10-level oceanic campaign, introducing new block types and using elements of hydrodynamics to challenge players to explore buildings capable of above-water combat and undersea exploration. The player can test their creations in the expansion’s new sandbox mode, which puts the player in a vast archipelago, allowing them to test their engineering on water courses and explore ancient ruins.
Gameplay features include:
Oceanic Campaign Challenges: Dive into ten new water-themed campaign levels, pitting your creations against your enemy’s formidable fleet and treacherous sea creatures.
Building Aquatic Machines: Harness the power of 8 new blocks specially designed for maritime madness, including floats for buoyancy, a rudder for improved steering, a harpoon launcher for engaging enemies, and more.
Immersive Water Simulation: Play with hydrodynamics, including shape-dependent drag, density-based buoyancy, and higher-speed impacts, offering a realistic and engaging aquatic building experience.
Brand New Sandbox: Explore a rugged archipelago, challenge mighty galleons, terrorize local fishermen, and navigate treacherous waters in a sandbox built specifically for The Splintered Sea.
Multiplayer Madness: Engage in multiplayer combat with friends, create custom levels with the in-game editor, and unleash chaos in Besiege‘s water-filled arenas.
On launch, an expansion bundle will be available for new players to purchase. Players who already own Besiege can purchase de expansion separately. For more information, check Besiege: The Splintered Sea’s Steam page
