Get ready to return to the world of buzzing adventures with Bee Simulator: The Hive.
Untold Tales and VARSAV Game Studios have announced Bee Simulator: The Hive, a comprehensive new edition of the popular 2019 game, coming to PC, PlayStation, Switch, and Xbox in 2025.
Bee Simulator: The Hive combines the original Bee Simulator with a substantial expansion, The Hive, bringing fresh content and mechanics to both newcomers and returning players.
This new edition allows players to build and customise their very own sprawling bee hive colony, adding a new layer of strategic gameplay to the already charming experience.
If you remember our 2019 review of the original Bee Simulator, we found it to be a “good educational family experience” with “challenging but rewarding gameplay that is relaxing and fun.” However, we also noted that it “might fall a bit short of what is to be expected for a ‘simulator’ – the tasks can be a bit too simplistic, and at times it all feels a bit rough around the edges.”
With Bee Simulator: The Hive, the developers aim to address these points and provide a more robust and engaging experience.
Build Your Dream Hive
The Hive expansion introduces a major new feature: the ability to build and customise your own beehive colony. Zip around the map gathering resources, establish outposts, and unlock various buildings to create a personalised home for your bee community.
This adds a strategic element to the gameplay, allowing players to manage their colony’s growth and development.
