Beautiful Light

Deep Worlds is building Beautiful Light as a PvPvPvE horror extraction shooter, and on September 4 it put new gameplay in front of an audience. The footage ran during The FPS Games Show, the FPS genre program hosted by BULKHEAD, the developer of WARDOGS. The show aired at 3:00 a.m. JST on Twitch and covered 16 new and old FPS titles, four of them unreleased. A simultaneous Steam event ran sales, free play, and demos.

The gameplay itself showed six squads of three operators, 24 players in total, fighting over artifacts in hostile territory against each other and against six mutants. The setting in the video is a forest, with combat against enemy squads and mutants. That is the concrete picture of the match structure so far: squad count, player count, mutant count, objective, and environment.

What the coverage establishes is a release path rather than a finished game. Steam Early Access is planned for December 2026, and Deep Worlds has committed to a three-year completion window after that. The FPS Games Show story predates the footage reveal by about two weeks and set up the broadcast where it appeared. Between the two stories, the only open questions are the ones the footage did not answer: content beyond the forest, progression, and what the three-year completion target covers. Nothing in the stories states a firm date inside December 2026, a price, or platforms beyond Steam.
