Construct ‘n’ destruction simulation Besiege recently received a spectacular expansion pack, The Splintered Sea, which Nic loved in his review, calling it compact, compact, and energetic. Apparently, Nic wasn’t alone in this opinion: its creators now say they’re working on a free update that will expand the expansion and extend its campaign by 50%.
The update will add five recent levels to The Splintered Sea and will be released on July 22.
One of the levels will feature a tentacled beast that can tear apart your ships, as seen in one of the previous Splintered Sea trailers. Another will challenge your controls, as you’ll have to build a compact ship that you’ll have to guide through a series of closing gates. Another will reportedly involve fighting a swarm of sharks.
“We also experimented with the idea of adding additional challenges to levels that, while not required to complete, could be a much bigger test of skill,” he says. announcementThe example offered is a series of crates that the player can break, thus completing the level within the allotted time.
It’s nice to see Spiderling Studios taking the feedback into account and working to make the expansion more substantial – especially since it wasn’t bad at all to begin with and would have been effortless to leave as is. In addition to the above dinkonims, Nic has previously called it “an amazing, incredibly complex, and worthwhile thing.”
