Besiege celebrates a decade of building deadly contraptions with a reworked sandbox mode, adjusted level designs and slow-motion explosions [Video]

Besiege, the physics puzzler about building rickety siege contraptions, has officially been pummelling castle walls for ten long years. To celebrate, developer Spiderling Studios has an “exciting year” planned for the decade-old construction sim with “community events & future updates” coming throughout the next twelve months. The first of these updates is already here, making numerous additions and adjustments to the game.

For this anniversary update, Spiderling says it “wanted to focus on additions centering around Besiege’s community & core player base”. Some of these changes focus on features that orbit the game, such as achievements. With the update, Spiderling has added 25 new achievements, most of which are for the base game, but some target the Splintered Sea expansion. Many of these new achievements involved collecting a “Strange Fragment” to complete them, which are apparently related to the game’s source cube—the starting block from which you build every contraption. Cryptic!
