Besiege has been knocking around for a while. Hitting Steam early access only a couple of years after the programme started, it quickly became a fave, though it would linger there for five years, only hitting 1.0 in 2020.
Developer Spiderling Studios has continued to nurture its castle-demolishing puzzler since then, with plenty of updates and an ocean expansion in 2024. Now, though, it’s pulling off something more audacious: Besiege is heading into space.
And if you still love Besiege’s medieval aesthetic, don’t worry—Spiderling ain’t doing away with that.
“There’s a good saturation of great space games on the market, but we wanted to create something different,” says Daniel Schmidt, project lead on the expansion. “With Besiege originally being a medieval building game it was exciting to explore that aesthetic in space, drawing inspiration from the likes of DaVinci, Jules Verne, and even Space-Orks to forge our creative direction for the expansion.”
