Grove Street Games Reveals New Original Game, BeastLink
Grove Street Games, known for remastering Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy, has revealed its first original intellectual property: a game titled BeastLink.
Game developer Grove Street Games, which previously handled the porting of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition, has unveiled its new original game project, BeastLink. This title represents the studio's first original IP in over a decade and is considered their most ambitious undertaking to date.
The game is set in a post-apocalyptic world where remnants of civilization struggle to survive in isolated outposts, while colossal monsters roam the ruins. Players will be tasked with gathering resources, engaging in conflict with other factions, and forming a "link" with dormant monsters to control them in battle.
A key feature is the studio's proprietary "SuperDestruction" system, designed to allow for extensive environmental damage. Each map is said to contain over 250,000 destructible objects and thousands of independently simulated fragments, promising large-scale destruction sequences.
Studio CEO Thomas Williamson also addressed past criticisms, acknowledging that he largely agreed with player feedback regarding the GTA Trilogy remaster. Williamson stated that the game's condition at launch was not what the development team had initially envisioned.
