The developers from Balancing Monkey Games has shared a brand new playable Demo for the city builder Beyond These Stars. However, they also brought some sad news about the project. The Early Access of the game is now postponed to 2026. The developers not that it was a tough but necessary decision.

There are no doubts that the game will benefit from the delay, especially since the new demo already brings changes to game experience.
