Skillcap Studio has announced that The Beacon, its upcoming roguelite RPG, is now available to wishlist on both Steam and the Epic Games Store. The listings mark a key step in bringing the blockchain-integrated title to a wider audience while maintaining accessibility for players who prefer traditional gaming experiences. Wishlisting helps boost the game's visibility on both storefronts ahead of its global launch.
No release date has been confirmed yet, but The Beacon will support both Windows and Mac when it arrives. Players can add the game to their wishlist now on either platform to stay updated on its progress.
Add The Beacon to Your Wishlist on Epic Games and Steam
Two versions, two approaches
The Beacon will play differently depending on where you get it. Steam's version strips out all blockchain features to comply with the platform's anti-web3 policies. If you grab it there, you're getting a straightforward roguelite with zero crypto involvement.
The Epic Games Store build keeps the blockchain integration intact. That version includes NFT-based ownership for in-game items, cosmetics, and customization options for your character and home base. Epic's store page includes a disclaimer explaining the web3 elements and an FAQ breaking down how the blockchain side works.
Optional blockchain, no barriers
Even with blockchain support, The Beacon doesn't force you into web3 territory. The game runs on Arbitrum and ZKsync, but you can play the entire thing without connecting a wallet or touching any crypto systems. It functions like any other free-to-play title — download, launch, play.
If you want to engage with the blockchain side, wallet support is there for trading and ownership features. The game won't have its own marketplace, so asset trading happens through external platforms like Treasure.

Casting a wide net
Skillcap Studio's dual-platform strategy lets The Beacon reach both blockchain-curious players and those who want nothing to do with NFTs. By tailoring each version to its platform's rules, the studio avoids alienating either group. The Steam listing appeals to traditional RPG fans, while the Epic version offers web3 features for players interested in digital ownership. Wishlisting is live now on both storefronts.
