Deep Worlds showed new gameplay footage for Beautiful Light, a PvPvPvE horror extraction shooter, during The FPS Games Show on September 4. Six squads of three operators, 24 players total, and six mutants fight over artifacts in hostile territory. The video features a forest setting with combat against enemy squads and mutants. Steam Early Access is planned for December 2026, with completion targeted within three years.
Beautiful Light's core mode is Raid, an asymmetric match where 24 players split into six squads of three operators and face six mutant monsters. The goal is to grab an artifact and extract, or kill every human in the match. The developers emphasize immersion through breathing, realistic footsteps, heartbeats, and gas masks, plus a diegetic HUD inspired by military forearm PDA designs. The full version adds a mercenary and contractor system, a team system with stats and leaderboards, more maps, and a secret exploration mode. Deep Worlds plans Steam Early Access for December 2026 and aims to finish the game within three years.
