Greetings, pilots! 

The wait is over: the hotly anticipated Summer Update aka Drake: Gang Wars is finally here! It’s our most significant Early Access update, adding tons of new things to the game even though we’re not done yet – there’ll be one more update later this year before we wrap things up and work on the v1.0 release which is still scheduled for early 2023.
For now, you can enjoy Drake, an all-new star system featuring well over a dozen carefully hand-crafted locations with stunning lava and ice environments, underwater exploration, exciting new enemy types and status effects, brand new challenges and puzzles as well as a three-chapter side quest, introducing daring pilots to the new system, and much more. Have a look at our official release trailer!

Greetings, pilots! 

Spring is here, and we’re dropping another meaty content update as promised. Along with a new fighter class, new ship modules, new story content, and new enemy ships, we’ve also made major changes to the crafting system, mining, and resource management as well as how ship devices work. We also addressed progression issues and reprioritized difficulty settings and localization. Meaning, we’re ahead of schedule! So let’s get right into it with the official release trailer.

Happy New Year, pilots!

We bet all of you had a wonderful winter holiday with lots of sweet treats. Or, more likely, floated in a cozy space pilot seat, blasting away at Outlaws. Either way, we hope you had plenty of off-duty time to recharge your batteries for what lies ahead in 2022.

2022 Roadmap, Hottest FAQs & Drake System Teaser

Greetings, pilots!

Where has this year gone? The end of December is nearly upon us! Holy scrap, what a journey so far! After over three years of hard work, we launched EVERSPACE 2 in Early Access with a rocket launch release in January. We sold three times as many copies as the predecessor within the first week and hit 91% positive reviews right out of the gate. This massive success was followed by the release of two major content packs, Zharkov: The Vortex and Khaït Nebula: Stranger Skies, both extremely well received, with the game currently sitti...

Important Message to our Community, System 4 Micro Teaser, New Demo

Hey pilots,

Today, we have an unusual news update. We have a few things to share about what’s coming next, but I also wanted to provide more of a high-level, behind-the-scenes look at the overall game direction and some of our business decisions, and how we roll in general for our fans as well as our biggest critics to help everyone better understand where EVERSPACE 2 is heading, and, most importantly WHY we do the things we do. Large sections are primarily addressed to Early Access pilots on Steam and GOG who might be less familiar with our history and our motivation than our Kickstarter backers do, but it probably won’t hurt to share all of that with you guys, too. Note to self: if the KPIs (Key Performance Indicators measure the effectiveness of any given marketing/sales activity) of this piece are much lower than previous news updates, I might consider firing myself. I’m joking! ...

Zharkov Grand Opening, The Vanguard, New Story Content and Companion, New Gameplay, New Gear, Crafting UI/UX Improvements, Technical Improvements

Greetings, pilots!

Grab a drink, sit back, and relax! What was intended to be a short & snappy news beat about the official Zharkov release on top of all the information shared in recent news updates, became our longest news update so far, covering the 2nd major content update of EVERSPACE 2 in-depth, as well as some important studio and community-related news.

First off, a big shout to all the daring test pilots who smoke tested the experimental release opened up a few days ago. You all provided very useful feedback on the overhauled game balancing and also flagged a number of bugs that slipped through the cracks. The team acknowledged and fixed most of them, while a few improvements have to wait until the next major content update, currently scheduled for fall (or spring if your home base is on the Souther...
