Beyond Flesh And Blood Launching Demo
Â
Â
PIXELBOMB GAMES IS PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THE FULL PRE-ALPHA DEMO launch will be exclusively at PlayExpo in Manchester – the true home city of the game and its makers. We could even say spiritual home but…would that give too much of the game away? We wish the team the best of luck, and would love to be there to get a peek at their closely guarded storyline.
The long-awaited pre-alpha demo will allow hands-on access to a full hour of the game with new features previously unreleased elsewhere. Gamers and testers will be invited to experience a special level to examine the CG and playability – and finally, get a real taste of the game’s storyline set in Manchester.
Following a successful and surprisingly social EGX appearance at London’s Earl’s Court, Pixelbomb Games have been using the gameplay feedback to perfect the PAD. You can read our preview HERE
The team behind #BFBGame include cult game developers Philip Muwanga and Lee Blacklock.
Of the demo release, they said:
“The recent preview-only gameplay at EGX in London went very well – for an indie stand we were massively surprised by the uptake and the fact we had people queuing for nearly an hour to see the game – everyone loved it.
“We’re over the moon then, as you can imagine, to release the demo at large at PlayExpo in Manchester around not only our local peers and an amazing Northern developer community, but to the world at large at this event.â€
Â
Pixelbomb will join the region’s finest independent developers at PlayExpo, run by Replay Events.
Pixelbomb is currently creating a geo-locative storyline in Akihabara, Japan and Manchester in support of the game, with cryptic story elements to promote social interaction.
Beyond Flesh and Blood is looking to gain a bigger following, both locally and nationally, and is planning a series of pop-up events and appearances across Manchester, UK; where the game is set.

The Next Step
The next big step for us here at Pixelbomb Games is to prepare for feedback and bug sweeps of our first release. Our hopes are that many of you play the pre-alpha demo and flood us with your feedback. We are also offering a pre-sales option via our website for those of you eager to jump aboard now. Soon after the demo we are planning to begin Steam early access, details of which are to be announced in the near future. http://bit.ly/bfbgame
ABOUT
Beyond Flesh and Blood A graphically-intense nod to the 3rd person shooter genre, Beyond Flesh and Blood challenges players to blast through multiple levels of hostile scavenger forces and mutating enemy threats on a mission to help reclaim the surface of Earth – starting with dystopian Manchester.
Players jack into advanced multi-ability combat rigs, battle a range of formidable enemies and mech weapon systems across the post-apocalyptic UK city in fast-paced gameplay that will push shooter skills to the limit.
Beyond Flesh and Blood will release on PC later this year, and the studio aim to release on XBOX One and Playstation 4 in 2015.
