Beautiful Light's Gamescom Trailer Lets Extraction Players Turn Into the Monster Hunting Them

Indie studio Deep Worlds showed Beautiful Light, a first-person PvPvPvE extraction shooter, with a new ray-traced trailer during Gamescom on August 25. PvPvPvE means squads fight each other, AI enemies, and the map at once. Its hook is asymmetry: some players take the role of hostile monsters that hunt the human raiders instead of looting alongside them. Early access is targeted for December 2026 at 39.99 euros, and the game sits near 700,000 Steam wishlists.
