Monster-sized mayhem on an unprecedented scale, BeastLink combines tactical human-led missions and vehicular combat with the city-destroying, raw power of colossal Kaiju! Built on Unreal Engine 5, BeastLink uses Grove Street Games’ proprietary SuperDestruction system to push environmental wreckage to a new level. This fully networked, physics based system lets players reshape the map as both human or Kaiju. Featuring over 250,000 destructible objects and tens of millions of individual pieces, players strategically reshape entire city blocks, turning urban environments into tactical rubble.
BeastLink will launch into Early Access this summer on PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S and Steam PC.
