Besiege was given a multiplayer and an level editor in its “biggest update” . The update was announced through a Steam announcement by Von, the community manager for the Steam forums.

Put your war machines to the test and face off in custom battles against your friends, Co-operate to lay waste to your own custom fortresses and annihilate armies of unfortunate knights, and show off your creative genius in the new level editor!

The new update brings a much appreciated multiplayer mode which allows you to raid settlements with up to three people or go against other players using your siege contraption in 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, 4v4 and 5v5 game modes.

Also included in the update is a level editor for siege locations. The developers describe the editor “daunting at first glance” but they have provided a guide here to get started.

Besiege is still in Alpha but the game is constantly getting crucial updates and in turn holds an overwhelmingly positive review score on Steam. You can check out Besiege on Steam or read the patch notes.
