Described as “Balatro meets Scrabble” by Time Extension, Beyond Words arrives digitally on PC and consoles in early 2026 and reimagines the word game as a deep and endlessly replayable strategy experience where victory is spelled one letter at a time.

From the creators of some of gaming’s most iconic titles comes an entirely new kind of challenge that tests vocabulary, creativity and tactical thinking. Build powerful word-combos, unlock 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 that make every run unique. Think your way through seemingly impossible situations or push your reflexes with optional time-attack boards.

“In a small dev team, there is the opportunity to experiment and iterate – we truly believe that is the way to ‘find the fun’ and make a great game. Beyond Words is all about choice and agency. We’ve made a game that is constantly challenging and evolving with the player’s interactions – full of surprises and opportunities to be clever. As developers, our guiding star has always been to make games that we want to play.” Dr David Doak, Co-creator at Mindfuel Games

“Working with Steve and David has been an absolute pleasure and the game they have produced is packed with every ounce of their experience, creativity and passion. I have been unable to put it down since we originally laid eyes on it and we cannot wait for you all to experience it.” – Andy Pearson, Chief Marketing Officer at PQube

Endless combinations ensure no two runs are ever the same. Each new word crafted and combo discovered opens fresh opportunities to shape your strategy.
