Beyond the Map Enters Early Access – A New Survival ARPG Set in a Mysterious Open World
Explore the unknown, master magic, and build your legacy in a procedurally generated fantasy world.
If you’re looking for a new game to sink your teeth into over the weekend, don’t miss Beyond the Map, the latest title from indie studio Glitch Goblins—now available in Early Access on Steam for PC. This title blends survival gameplay with action RPG mechanics in an unpredictable, procedurally generated open world. Here’s everything you need to know.
What is Beyond the Map?
Beyond the Map is a top-down action RPG focused on survival in a vast, fantasy world. Players start their journey as a lone survivor of a shipwreck, marooned on a mysterious island that doesn’t appear on any map. From there, they’ll face the unknown—exploring dangerous terrain, uncovering magical secrets, and carving out their own path in an untamed land.
You’ll gain experience, level up skills, and unlock new abilities as you venture deeper into the world. Rare spellbooks, brutal enemies, and strange environments await as you explore biomes with unique resources and challenges.
Survive, Craft, and Master the Elements
Survival is just the beginning. Players can:
- Build their own base from scratch
- Craft weapons, potions, and enchanted items
- Master different disciplines, whether it’s blacksmithing, alchemy, or arcane magic
Every biome is procedurally generated, meaning no two runs are the same. Each region contains its own ecosystem of enemies and resources that will push your planning and skills to the limit.
Current Early Access Status
The developers plan to keep the game in Early Access for 1–2 years, though that may shift depending on community feedback. As of now, the game includes:
- Combat systems
- Procedural level generation
- A variety of enemy types
Ongoing updates will add new biomes, enemies, character customization, co-op multiplayer, and story quests to enhance the game’s depth and replayability. The devs are actively tuning balance and adding content based on player input.
Available Now on Steam
If this mix of survival and action RPG sounds like your thing, Beyond the Map is available right now on PC via Steam. It’s shaping up to be a compelling choice for players who love freedom, exploration, and fantasy survival mechanics.
And as always, we’ll keep you updated with the latest developments from Glitch Goblins and the wider gaming world—so stay tuned right here with This Is Game Thailand.
Final Thought
Beyond the Map might be flying under the radar, but it has all the ingredients to become a standout title in the survival ARPG space. Its handcrafted-meets-procedural world design offers a fresh challenge every time you play, while its focus on building and magic adds a unique flavor. As the game evolves through Early Access, it could very well become a sleeper hit for fans of games like Valheim, Don’t Starve, or Diablo. If you love charting your own course through danger and discovery, now’s the perfect time to dive in.
