Built in Unreal Engine 5, the core of BeastLink is Grove Street’s proprietary SuperDestruction system that pushes environmental wreckage to a new level. This fully networked, physics based system lets every player reshape the map as both human or Kaiju. With over 250,000 destructible objects and tens of millions of individual pieces, players can strategically reshape entire city blocks, turning urban environments into tactical rubble. 

BeastLink drops players into massive, urban environments under siege by a variety of Kaiju. Players will navigate collapsing cityscapes on foot or choose from a variety of vehicles. They battle both human forces and roaming monsters to gather resources, which fuel an experimental procedure to Link with sleeping Kaiju. Once the BeastLink is established, the perspective shifts from tactical survival to city-shaking power as players tear through buildings and engage in massive, real-time monster brawls.

Each Kaiju offers a distinct playstyle, including the four launch creatures: Horned Lizard, Bull Shark, Vampire Bat, and Mandrill. Whether you prefer brute force, aerial attacks, or speed-based combat, every match changes how you approach both combat and movement across the city.

BeastLink launches into early access on console and PC this summer, with the first of several upcoming closed beta weekends kicking off Friday, May 8th.

Players can sign up now for the closed Playtest on Steam.

“Our team has a long history of making great games while tackling complex technical challenges, but at its core, BeastLink stems from one goal: to create the ultimate Kaiju experience,” said Thomas Williamson, CEO of Grove Street Games. “Community is an integral part of building that, beta testing gives players the opportunity to jump in early and help us shape what a modern Kaiju game should be.”

“The current version contains 3 maps, 4 beasts and multiplayer game modes (Convergence & Battle Arena) alongside dozens of weapons and vehicles to utilize. You can play scenarios on our dedicated online servers, progress your characters and kaiju, and wreak havoc. Offline modes are available, and a tutorial & the first few single player missions are included to give you a taste of the story. The Early Access version will improve significantly and often. We will be dropping frequent updates, with large content drops as each new map, beast, or scenario type is ready. ”

“For 1.0 we plan to have even more content - 12 maps based on three real world cities, 8 beasts in total, 10 full story missions with online co-op, and a variety of additional game modes. And that’s just the beginning. We have a full roadmap that includes more beasts, vehicles, and playable content. ”

Founded in 2007, Grove Street Games has contributed to some of the industry’s most recognizable franchises, with credits spanning titles like Grand Theft Auto, ARK: Survival Ascended, Bully Anniversary Edition, and Max Payne. Across dozens of releases on console, PC, and mobile, the studio’s work has reached more than 100 million players worldwide.
