Bioneers tasks you with engineering a living organism by assembling cells and automating its biological functions while defending against viral threats. You'll explore a microscopic environment to unlock mutations, gradually evolving your creature toward predator, parasite, or herbivore forms. Strategy and adaptation drive progression as you balance growth with survival against environmental pressure.
About this game
A strategy and simulation game set in a microworld. Build an organism from cells, automate biological processes, and fend off viral attacks. Explore the world, unlock mutations, and evolve into a predator, parasite, or herbivore. Survive, adapt, and grow

Hey everyone!There’s something special about watching the cells you’ve connected start working together as a living organism. As developers, we want to bring that experience closer to real biology. We’re exploring how cells connect and communicate, and how different biological systems develop and work together inside one body to keep it alive. Our new roadmap video takes you through what we’re developing next on the way to the open demo. We’ve already shared the roadmap here on Steam; now we’re walking through those plans on video and talking about what they’ll mean for the organisms you create. You’ll also have more chances to help us test Bioneers along the way. Before the open demo, we’ll run several more closed playtest waves, giving a limited number of players access to our latest builds. Your feedback from these tests will help shape the game! Follow us for playtest news and development updates. Can't wait to share Bioneers with you! 👾 Bioneers Discord Instagram YouTube
Hey everyone! First off, thank you for the support, this response is beyond anything we imagined! The closed playtest is done, and the results blew us away. Players didn't just try Bioneers, they got hooked:Average playtime: 3.5 hours (in a build with only 2 hours of content)16,000+ new wishlists in just a couple of daysRated 4.8 out of 5 by players1 million views on our latest YouTube video But the best part? The creatures you built. Here are some of our favorites from the first players: What's Next and When you can finally play Bioneers? Right now, we're adding muscles and bones so your creatures move realistically. It's a core mechanic that shapes how your organism survives and evolves. At the same time, we're building real biological threats: viruses, bacteria, toxins, and cancer-like mutations, along with a full immune system to hold them off. In October, we're introducing specialised cell types such as keratinocytes, with its own division mechanics based on real biology. In November, we're adding biomes, different environments your creatures can inhabit. Since each biome requires a different way to survive, we're building thermoreception and heat-exchange mechanics. In December, we'll be working on the game's final goal (still under wraps for now). Release plan:Open Demo: February 2027, right around Steam Next FestFull game (around 10 hours of gameplay): March to April 2027 We may also run a few smaller playtests along the way (not confirmed yet, but keep an eye out).

It all started with a pretty simple idea: what if we could bring automation and biology in one game? Since that days we have received a huge support from you, fan’s and wishlisters — your comments, ideas and curiosity have kept us inspired and motivated to keep building… And now we're finally ready to show you the game — and you can play it on August 28! 🎮 What you'll do in the game? You’ll be able to build your own organism, experiment with different cell combinations, set up production and logistics chains, and watch everything work together as one living system. The demo will feature around 2 hours of gameplay, introducing you to Bioneers’ core mechanics and gameplay loop. 🔑 How to get access? → If you wanna become one of our playtesters, please join our Discord channel. → On August 28 we'll publish a short application form where you can grab your key. → Only 300 keys this first wave — grab yours and jump in with us. → After you've played the demo, you'll be able to share your feedback and it will genuinely shape what we build next in the full version of the game. This is a HUGE milestone for us, and we can't wait to finally show off our cell world! 🦠🧬 👾 Join Discord Bioneers 🎮 Wishlist on Steam
