EVERSPACE™ 2 News

Hey there, pilots!

Another busy month for our team has gone by with so much to talk about. Nonetheless, Erik did his best to keep the monthly recap under 4 minutes as we know you guys are busy playing tons of games, right?

The June recap starts off with a slew of fresh concept art of three(!) new factions and other NPCs that will have their debut in the Drake system of the upcoming summer update. Erik then talks about new challenges that will provide permanent bonuses throughout the entire game once you mastered them. Next are new consumables that have been added to the game as well as the possibility to craft consumables which was high on the community's wishlist. But that's not all! You can now craft components from resources, too, so you can build that much-desired Catalyst even though you might not have every single component in place but plenty of others — you're welcome!

Another community request has been to have more ship dealers, so we made the Flying Dutches sell space fighters, too, which should come in super handy, as you can call her in certain areas. It's just a first implementation, and we might extend that feature later on. The highlight of June was of course the reveal of both an icy and a fiery location in the all-new Drake star system.

We know many of you guys can't wait to delve into Drake, but we're not quite there yet. We'll have a few more weekly streams before you can actually try out the new star system for yourselves. Make sure to stop by our weekly live streams not to miss out on the latest in development on YouTube and Twitch every Friday 8:00 pm to 10:00 pm CEST / 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm EDT / 11:00 am to 1:00 pm PDT!

Don't stop being awesome, and see you in space! 🚀🪐🙌

Greetings, pilots!

Celebrating this year's Steam summer sale, we thought it might be a good idea to drop a teaser trailer about Drake: Gang Wars and show you some iconic locations of the most extreme star system yet, coming to EVERSPACE 2 in late summer.

PS: Fair warning to all pilots that haven't jumped in the cockpit, yet: We'll raise the price significantly when hitting v1.0, so make sure not to miss one of the few remaining sales on the already discounted Early Acces price! Just saying... 😉

Hey there, pilots!

Goodness space gravy, the May recap of our gamedev & community live streams is here with the latest changes and new features — woot!

Ace pilots and Community Ambassador Erik talks about new types of energy orbs adding a bit more depth to this feature. Tracking required resources for crafting is an all-new feature that goes nicely together with the new resource map mode: not only will you see right away what resources are still required to make that nifty new piece of equipment, but with one click on the map's submenu, you'll see right away where is a good chance to find that precious ore or crystal that's still missing. Furthermore, Erik also goes quite deep into item grades and trades as well as new ship passives — enjoy!

Hey there, pilots!

The April recap of our gamedev & community live streams is here with the latest changes and new features.

Ace pilots and Community Ambassador Erik talks about secondary weapon modifiers to help make secondaries more varied and interesting. Hotswapping armor was long in the making and a hot community demand, so now it's here (as in the internal dev build) and will come with the summer update to a PC near you.

Gero, our Sound Director, has started implementing weapon SFX based on item rarity, also giving all reworked SFX more oomph. Some perks like Percussive Maintenance have been overhauled to better work with regenerating armor. The biggest change is a new feature called High Risk Area Mutators, adding more variety and greater challenges for hardcore pilots.

Hey there, pilots!

While we just dropped a major content update with a hotfix shortly after, we didn't forget about the March recap of our gamedev & community live streams on our YouTube and Twitch channel.

Ace pilots and Community Ambassador Erik talks about why we renamed the Rogue light fighter to Stinger, touches on general player ship rebalancing, community-requested changes to the Vindicator, and ends with a community shout out with some amazing fanart.
