EVERSPACE™ 2 News
Spaceship looter shooter Everspace 2 has launched into early access
Spaceship looter shooter Everspace 2 is taking off today for its scheduled mission through early access territory. For the sequel to their roguelike spaceflight game, Rockfish Games are cracking Everspace 2 into an open-world RPG. The full game is expected sometime in 2022, but you can hop in the cockpit right now if you’re keen to see how it’s coming along.
Everspace 2 arrives in early access this month
If you fancy some new space flight shenanigans to kick off your 2021, then you might be pleased to learn Everspace 2 comes out in early access soon. Moving away from the roguelike style of the first Everspace, the sequel is a single-player looter shooter that plonks players into a big open-world campaign. It hits early access on Steam and GOG on January 18th.
EVERSPACE 2 Early Access Set for January 18 | Pre-Release Key Giveaway Incoming
Greetings, pilots!
We know, we know! Waiting sucks, but it's finally happening: EVERSPACE 2 will launch in Steam Early Access on January 18 at 7 pm CET / 1 pm ET / 10 am PT.
Priced at €37.99 / $39.99 / £31.99, the game will launch in English with professional 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 will be 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. You’ll be spending all that time in five different player ship subclasses. Lots to play with!
The full version for PC, including Mac and native Linux support, will be released at a reasonably increased price in the first half of 2022 and come with UI and text language support for German (incl. voice dubbing), French, Italian, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Polish, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.

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 got a great idea, make sure to let us know on the Steam forum. Rest assured, we will read every single comment.
Of course, the game is far from being finished. On top of the two star systems pilots will be able to explore in Early Access at launch, we plan to have four to six more as well as several additional player ship subclasses beyond the Interceptor, Sentinel, Striker, Gunship, and Scout at launch, to be gradually added on a quarterly basis. In the final game, players will also be able to enjoy twice as much story content plus lots of worthwhile endgame activities. We look forward to working closely with you guys and gals over the course of the next 12 to 18 months to make an outstanding narrative-driven open-world space looter shooter.
If you're still on the fence to even wishlist, check out our YouTube channel where you'll find numerous streams of our weekly production videos to see for yourself where production is currently at. We also recommend giving the free EVERSPACE 2 demo here on Steam a try but please note: This demo is the Prototype from last year, so it is quite outdated. We’ve already implemented a lot of improvements based on community feedback on UI and controls as well as new features and content like additional graphics settings, cockpit view, HOTAS support, and a ton more into the upcoming Early Access version.
Speaking of which, Erik Schrader, our beloved Community Ambassador and admired Ace pilot will demo the current safety build on Twitch and YouTube this Friday from 8:00 pm to 10:00 pm CET / 2 pm to 4 pm ET / 11 am to 1 pm PT. This will also be the last opportunity on our channel to win a pre-release key incl. immediate closed Beta access, so you really wouldn’t want to miss it.
Anyway, enough teasing. The hype is real even for us. See you this Friday or in Early Access on January 18 🚀💥👀🙌
Michael and your dedicated ROCKFISH Games Team
