Publisher PQube and developer MindFuel Games has announced roguelike strategy and word-crafting fusion Beyond Words for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Switch, and PC (Steam). It will launch in early 2026. A demo is available now for PC.
Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:
From the creators of GoldenEye and TimeSplitters comes Beyond Words the genre-defining fusion of roguelike strategy and word-crafting. Build powerful combos, unlock upgrades, and master a challenge where victory is spelled one letter at a time.
Build powerful word combos, unlock game-changing upgrades and journey through a living puzzle shaped by your decisions. Every choice, every letter, every placement matters.
Play your own way by switching up letter scores, duplicating the ones you love and destroying the ones you don’t. Bend the rules past breaking point with modifiers, stickers, and enhancements where every choice shapes your journey.
Think your way through seemingly impossible situations or pick up the pace and go fast and frantic with optional time-attack boards.
Over 300 unique modifiers and abilities—supercharged tile types, booster cards, power cards, pickups & perks.
Endless combinations bring surprise and opportunity for your creative strategies. It’s all about synergies, combos, and clever play—where every decision can dramatically alter the course of a run. As you progress, your expanding toolbox rewards you with new possibilities every time you play.
Each board is a unique puzzle where your words matter. Shifting rules, layouts and objectives keep you adapting in an evolving tactical space.
Be a friend to your future self – plan ahead, create routes to powerful pickups and think like a strategist setting up devastating power-scoring combos for that perfect chef’s-kiss word play.
Overcome more than 30 unique Boss challenges that twist the rules in devious ways. When you’re ready to push further, take on time attacks, seeded runs or the brain-melting flipside of negative scoring.
Escalating targets and endless play mean there’s always an opportunity to flex your skills in gratifying challenges which demonstrate your level of mastery.
Easy to pick up thanks to familiar word-tile mechanics while incredibly rewarding to master, welcoming both casual players and hardcore strategists.
Whether you’re chasing the highest scores, experimenting with outrageous synergies or simply relaxing into the rhythm of letters and logic—Beyond Words is a playground for endless discovery where every word counts.
