Everspace 2: Loot, Shoot And Whatever It Takes To Explore New Star Systems

With over 25 hours of gameplay on offer for Early Access and GOG Games in Development, Everspace 2 is an open-world shooter set in space that you might want to keep an eye on.

From Rockfish Games, this ‘space looter shooter’ features 12 hours of fully acted voiceover in English and several side missions from the two-star systems in the final game.

In this early phase of Everspace 2, players will get to experience combat, mining, puzzle-solving, item shopping, crafting, ship customisation, RPG-style levelling, passive perks and lower-tier models of five different player ship subclasses.

The developers intend to release new features as well as quarterly updates. This is what to expect at the moment:

• More star systems, locations, enemies, activities etc. (8 star systems planned for v1.0)
• More player ship subclasses and tiers (9 subclasses with 4 tiers each planned for v1.0)
• More ship customization options
• More player levels (max player level 30 planned for v1.0)
• More items and resources incl. Legendary gear

• More situational commentary from Adam and Hive
• More interesting jobs and factions
• More alien creatures
• Natural phenomena like lightning fields, black holes, solar storms, etc.
• Fast Travel system
• Different Outlaw factions with different tech

• Game difficulty setting
• Worthwhile endgame content and activities

In the game, you play a cloned space pilot, Adam Roslin. For each death, he retains the memories, where ‘death has real consequences’. In Everspace 2, Adam’s journey is shaped through his meaningful relationships where ‘he discovers that life is only worth-living if there is also something worth dying for’.

With today’s Early Access release, we’re delivering on that promise as a first taste of what we envision to create together with our fans over the next 12 to 18 months. Hands down, we couldn’t be more excited about getting feedback from avid space pilots all around the globe.
