About:
Now, as we make the leap from building a linear roguelike space shooter as a small indie
team to creating a full-blown open-world space looter shooter as an ambitious AA PC
game with EVERSPACE 2, we need your help more than ever.
Open-world games with modern RPG elements, a variety of complex gameplay mechanics
deeply interwoven with one another, are arguably one of the most challenging genres in
video games development. Combined with fast-paced 3D combat and exploration second-
to-second gameplay in open space, on planet surfaces as well as underground, and
supporting 1st person, 3rd person, and cockpit view, as well as meaningful endgame
content, adds even more dimensions of complexity not found in your average shooter.
While we’ve been working hard for over two and a half years to have all core gameplay
mechanics and a good chunk of quality content in place for a solid Early Access release,
there is still a ton of work ahead of us, and we look forward to getting your feedback and
iterating the game based on that.”
Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?
“We look forward to working closely with you over the course of the next 12 to 18 months
to make an outstanding narrative-driven open-world space looter shooter.”
How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?
“Throughout Early Access, we will iterate on core gameplay mechanics, UI/UX, as well as
world design and overall game performance on a monthly basis as needed.
- New features and content will be gradually added through quarterly updates:
- 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 player perks (6 x 3 perk upgrade options planned for v1.0)
- More companion characters incl. perks to upgrade (6 companions planned for v1.0)
- More challenges
- More main and side mission story content (30+ hours of story content planned for v1.0)
- 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
- Better trading opportunities, price tracking, trade routes
- Quest inventory
- Codex
- Game difficulty setting
- Worthwhile endgame content and activities
- Achievements
- UI and text language support for German (as well as professional voice dubbing),
French, Italian, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Polish, Russian, Simplified Chinese,
Japanese, and Korean - Mac and Linux support
We'll be sharing more about these and other features in development on our social
channels and community updates.”
What is the current state of the Early Access version?
“EVERSPACE 2 launches in Early Access in English with full voice acting for the first 12+
hours of the story campaign and several side missions that take place in the first two star
systems of the final game. The initial version is good for at least 25 hours of gameplay,
while introducing pilots to EVERSPACE 2’s core gameplay mechanics of space combat,
exploration, mining, puzzle-solving, traveling, trading, itemization, crafting, ship
customization, player and companion perks as well as five different player ship subclasses.
The game supports fully customizable controls for mouse + keyboard, gamepad, as well
as HOTAS/HOSAS incl. presets for popular Logitech and Thrustmaster joysticks hardware setups.
After multiple rounds of community testing by some 2,000 players, and great feedback
from various gaming outlets and content creators on the closed Beta, EVERSPACE 2 is
ready for Early Access, and we can’t wait to receive your much-appreciated feedback on
the initial release version. If anything does not feel right, is missing, or you’ve got a great
idea, make sure to let us know on the Steam forum. Rest assured, we read every single comment.
We’ve already put a great amount of effort into performance optimization, but there is
still potential for improvement, and it would be great to get your feedback on how your
overall gameplay experience is (please share your specs and game settings if you do so).
Of course, there are various design issues and some minor bugs already on our list as the
game is far from finished. That said, we believe that there is lots of stuff for you to enjoy
even at this early stage. If you are still on the fence, make sure to check out the ROCKFISH
Games channel on YouTube or Twitch where we stream the latest dev build every Friday
from 8 pm to 10 pm CET / 2 pm to 4 pm ET / 11 am to 1 pm PT to see for yourself where
production is currently at.”
Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?
“During Early Access, we plan to run only a few moderate discounts as we very much
respect and appreciate the financial commitment of our backers when we only had a
prototype to show to get pilots excited about our vision back in 2019.
At full release, we plan to raise the price reasonably to what feels right for a polished
product offering dozens of hours of excellent space combat and exploration gameplay,
driven by a compelling story campaign and various side missions. Plus it will be the
possibile to sink hundreds of hours into planned endgame content that will challenge even
the most die-hard space pilots out there.
Thankfully, we don’t have any investors or publishers breathing down our neck, so we can
guarantee you that we won’t have any micro transactions, obtrusive product placement,
or other immersion breaking advertisements ruining your experience further down the
line. However, eagle-eyed players may spot a few subtle placements where we give a nod
to a handful of excellent content creators and hardware manufacturers who help us
promote the game. Last but not least, EVERSPACE 2 will be DRM-free, requiring no
internet connection after downloading the latest version.”
How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?
“We’ve been working closely with our community since the very beginning when we
announced the first EVERSPACE installment, in 2015. The best place to provide feedback
would be the Steam forum or on our website everspace.game. If you are up for more
personal interactions with the team and EVERSPACE fans, join our Discord channel
discord.gg/rockfishgames. Of course, we are also active on all our social media channels
on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Reddit, and Instagram.”[/i][/spoiler][/quote]
EVERSPACE™ 2 is a fast-paced single-player spaceship shooter with deep exploration in space and on
planets, tons of loot, RPG elements, mining, and crafting. Experience a thoughtful story, set in a vivid,
handcrafted open world full of secrets, puzzles, and perils.
In the campaign, you will make some friends with their own story to tell. They will join you on side
missions and provide certain benefits in the endgame, where vicious encounters and brutal challenges
will stand between you and that next epic loot drop.
Discover alien species, unveil mysteries, find hidden treasures and defend your valuables against
outlaw gangs. But don’t get cocky: there will be some high-risk/high-reward areas waiting for you
where grabbing that ultra-special gear and getting out alive will require some serious piloting skills
and all your talent for improvisation.
Annihilate your foes the EVERSPACE™ way: Dodge, dash, roll and boost guns blazing into frantic
dogfights, leaving only a trail of space scrap behind. Use a wide range of weaponry and abilities to
defeat a large variety of opponents like drones, fighters, heavy bombers and powerful gunships all the
way to massive capital vessels. Always look around and use your environment to your advantage, and
gain the upper hand even if you are outnumbered.
Enter the world of EVERSPACE and explore it at your leisure. Cluster 34 is brimming with main- and
side-missions, activities, events and secrets to be uncovered. So fire up your hyperdrive and shape
your legacy among the stars.
Expand your private ship collection from a virtually endless supply of ships, composed of various
unique ship classes and optimize your build to perfection. Cleverly combine modules, weapons,
devices, and perks to fit your individual playstyle and the current objective.
Hunt for the next better gear and be ready to constantly re-evaluate your current setup. Look for loot
that fits your playstyle but be willing to leave your comfort zone and try something new. Be ready to
find and exploit synergistic effects between equipment, perks, devices, and ships to fully maximize
their potential.
Roam the world looking for the best deals on certain commodities, becoming the part-time trader you
always wanted to be. However, prices will vary based on supply and demand, so you better check
about the latest offerings before you set course to the next trading station. Always be on the look-out
against ambushes during interstellar travel.
