Revealing original plans for a ‘Beasts’ trilogy
The devs behind flailing fisticuffsmultiplayer gameGang Beastshave revealed their hopes to resurrect its predecessor as their next major project, a decade after Boneloaf’s second wobbly wrestling hit took off and derailed their initial plans.
The studio’s marketing and communications manager Connor Clarke told RPS palsVG247that Gang Beasts was originally planned as the second game in a trilogy, starting with earlier project Grim Beasts.
The text post outlines a plan to ‘cannibalise’ tech and assets from Gang Beasts to improve Grim Beasts. That never happened, after Gang Beasts exploded in popularity following its live showing at events.
Clarke said that Grim Beasts is now “basically the next thing we want to work on", as the devs reach their “vision” for what they wanted Gang Beasts to be after close to a decade working on the game. The team still hopes to add a story mode - when they work out what that might look like - but are satisfied for now with the modes and levels added so far.
“The game has been out for nine years now and it has been successful, we’re pretty happy and set for them for the next few years really,” Clarke explained. “We can now just concentrate on going back to the fans that basically gave us the opportunity to do it."
As for the supposed third part of the ‘Beasts’ trilogy, there was no hint. Maybe check back in after another decade.
