- The Broken Beyond - Space Levels - 19 June 2026
Hello everyone!Today we’ve got our 6th and final development post for The Broken Beyond expansion, which releases in just 3 days time on the 22nd of June! This post is going to give you a sneak peak at some of the new space levels that’ll be dropping with the expansion.The Broken Beyond campaign is set in the Aranea star system, home to the planet Besian which hosts Besiege’s original campaign. Besian is far from Aranea’s only inhabited planet and you’ll quickly find yourself coming up against a space-faring civilization known as The Void Drifters.In an early level you’ll come across the crash site of a Void Drifter troop transport, perhaps destined for Besian as a scouting party or even an early invasion force. As you progress deeper into the star system, you’ll encounter a colony, on the planet of Iotun, that’s been taken over by fiercely cute creatures known as Xenomaws. They’re very…
- The Broken Beyond - Building for Space - 12 June 2026
Hello everyone! With just over a week to go before launch, we’re going to take a look at building machines for space, examining some blocks in greater detail and exploring some important concepts you’ll want to consider when building your spacecraft! Balancing Load & Fuel So, first things first, getting off the ground with your rocket ship! One of the most important balancing acts you’ll need to embrace when creating spacecraft in The Broken Beyond is ensuring you have enough thrust to get the mass of your machine into space.There are three elements to this equation you’ll need to balance; Weight, Thrust & Fuel.The greater your machine’s weight, the more thrust you’ll need to get it off the ground.The greater your machine’s thrust, the more fuel it’ll use.The more fuel stored on your ship, the greater its mass (weight). And so on… With the new blocks added by the expansion, there are a…

Hello everyone!The Broken Beyond will be available to buy & play on June 22nd, in just over 2 weeks time!Last week we began showing off 7 of the 13 new blocks that The Broken Beyond expansion contains and this week we’ll be continuing that theme by revealing the final 6, all of which are part of or use the new fuel system!The Fuel SystemBalancing fuel loads is a big part of launching rockets into space in real life, so we wanted to bring that resource management challenge to Besiege’s space expansion as well.Fuel in Besiege is quite simply named “Fuel” and it can be stored in large containers and distributed to blocks which need it. Currently there are only three blocks which require fuel, the new Booster block, the existing Flamethrower block and the new Blaster weapon. For storing fuel there are two options, the Small Fuel Barrel and the Large Fuel Barrel. The Small fuel barrel can st…
- The Broken Beyond - Space Blocks - 29 May 2026
Hello Everyone!It’s time for another Broken Beyond development post and this week we’re looking at some of the new blocks coming with the expansion, all designed for space!If you’re excited for The Broken Beyond, wishlist below!Development PostThe Broken Beyond brings with it a massive 12 new blocks, all designed with building space machines in mind!The new expansion also introduces a fuel system to Besiege for the first time and we’ll be diving into the details of that in next week’s post.One of the key blocks introduced in this expansion is the “Booster”, which works both inside atmospheres and in the vacuum of space. The Booster is a powerful rocket engine capable of producing large amounts of thrust!Despite its power, you may need several boosters attached to your machine to make it capable of leaving a planet’s atmosphere, depending on the size and weight of your design.The booster…
- The Broken Beyond - Simulating Atmospheres & Trajectory Prediction - 22 May 2026
Hello Everyone!Today we’re delighted to share the second in a series of posts which delve into the upcoming Broken Beyond expansion and its exciting new content! If you haven’t already, please consider wishlisting the new expansion as it helps us reach more physics building enthusiasts and will keep you updated about its release.

This week we’re going to take a look at The Broken Beyond’s atmospheres and how your machines will interact with them!With the Broken Beyond expansion, we wanted to capture the stark difference between being in a planetary atmosphere and being in the vacuum of space, both with physics mechanics and beautiful visuals. Working with talented “shader sorceress”, Freya Holmér, we’ve been able to create stunnin…
- Destruction sandbox Besiege's new space DLC gets far bigger than anything you've seen before - 16 May 2026
Besiege: The Broken Beyond is working on a completely new level of scale. The next expansion for one of the most explosively satisfying sandbox games on PC is taking us off world for an adventure among the stars. The introduction of water in The Splintered Sea might have changed how you thought about constructing machines, but the move into a galaxy of constantly shifting gravity is going to present even more, and much bigger, challenges to overcome.

- The Broken Beyond - Simulating Planets & Gravity - 15 May 2026
Hello everyone!Today we’re pleased to share with you the first in a series of development posts covering various aspects of the upcoming Broken Beyond expansion for Besiege.We’re also excited to say that we’re still on track to release the expansion in Q2 of this year! Wishlist now to get notified. Development PostFor this first development post we’re going to start by talking about Space in Besiege, how it works and what you can expect from it. The scope of playable environments in this new expansion are much greater than any previously in Besiege, helping them feel more like miniature worlds than isolated dioramas in a void. Our goal has been to achieve a good balance between the epic scale of space with fun and interesting miniature worlds that follow Besiege's traditional diorama style. When it comes to physics our goal with Besiege has always been to create a middle-ground between…

- Besiege's next expansion goes where no medieval contraption has ever gone before: space! - 10 February 2026
More like space the final funtier am I right (cue canned laughter that goes on a touch too long)? Besiege , the physics building game about building all manner of medieval machinery to destroy your enemy, has taken you to all kinds of lands and with its 2024 expansion, The Splintered Sea, a few oceans too. But with its newly revealed follow-up expansion, there's nowhere to go but up (because it's set in space, hence my absolutely hilarious opening line). Read more

- Besiege: The Broken Beyond - Coming Q2 2026 - 10 February 2026
Today we’re excited to announce The Broken Beyond expansion for Besiege, coming to Steam Q2 of 2026! The expansion takes Besiege’s classic gameplay into space, with a new campaign, a suite of new space themed blocks and a new sandbox environment.Taking Besiege into space has been an ambition of ours for a long time now and, with The Splintered Sea released, we felt space would make a great focus for our next expansion!Those of you who’ve been around for a long time might remember a small moon object in orbit around the Besiege planet, on the title screen. Originally we intended this to be a simple low-gravity sandbox to play around in, but following the addition of the Zero-G god tool, it felt somewhat superfluous.We decided that if we were to explore space in Besiege, we’d make something far grander that fully explores all the fun & creative gameplay it has to offer.

- Nominate Besiege for the Steam Awards 2025! - 25 November 2025
Hey everyone, It's Awards season again!While most categories celebrate the biggest new releases of the year, there’s one that feels like it was made for games like ours, the “Labor of Love” award.This year marked Besiege’s 10th anniversary.

Every update we release, every little detail we polish, is for you, because you’ve made Besiege mo…

- Quality of Life Update V1.75 - Additive Loading, Machine Autosave and more... - 26 June 2025
Hello everyone! Today we’re excited to bring you a quality of life update for Besiege. We’ve been working with community modder dagriefaa to bring some of Besiege’s most popular mods into the base game, along with a host of other improvements! Additive Loading Additive loading allows you to load multiple save or workshop machines into Besiege, without deleting your previous one. You might use this to load in two different vehicles or a saved section of machine which you then connect to whatever you’re building to save time. https://i.imgur.com/35ZOnGx.gif Paint Bucket Search This one’s pretty self explanatory but, the Paint Bucket feature (used for applying skins to blocks) now has a search function and can be sorted.
