ROCKFISH Games has announced that its first game update Everspace 2of the two scheduled for 2022, will be available on Steam and GOG on August 5 at 10 hours.
It will arrive soon following on the Microsoft Store. The update Drake : Gang Wars will add the all-new Drake star system along with its beautiful, hand-crafted lava and ice environments. Players will be able to discover underwater exploration, new enemies and new fashion effects, brand new challenges, a new side quest in three chapters and meet more than daring pilots. And much more !
The new star system features more than a dozen zones, all hand-crafted, providing superb backdrops during intense space battles. It also hides many things to discover, puzzles to solve and challenges to overcome. Each of the zones is controlled by one of three new factions: the Coalition, Retaliator, and Zurilia. Regions are made up of expanses of lava and ice that introduce new game mechanics: player ships are exposed to damage from heat, freezing, and high pressure when immersed.
“The creation and sale of space games has evolved: a few years ago, they still only concerned a niche of enthusiasts, long neglected, and today, they stand out in a very competitive market.” declares the CEO and co-founder of ROCKFISH Games, Michael shame. “While other iconic titles and franchises have steadily improved over the years and new great games set in space are coming soon, offering all manner of space-themed gameplay and settings, we believe that EVERSPACE 2 offers a unique experience, as illustrated by its 90% positive reviews on Steam. However, our crew world-class has truly gone above and beyond to provide gamers with the intense and eruptive Drake lava sites and exploration of frozen planets and icefields. For me, my favorite moment is when you have to go underwater to deactivate mines and place your own explosives in a gigantic space station at half submerged. I’ve never seen anything like it in any other game before, and we can’t wait to see the reaction from our fans.”
La version Early Access d’Everspace 2 increases the maximum level of players at 25, and introduces three new perks for pilots. This suite of side quests serves as an introduction to the Drake system, and while ROCKFISH Games is keeping the final act of the campaign a secret, these missions will give keen players a taste of what awaits them in the final battle.
In addition to these novelties, the team has also added new passives for all ship subclasses and new bonus attributes for secondary weapons. They will allow Everspace 2 to offer different styles of play and build ships for all DIY pilot enthusiasts. Mutators are also added to high-risk areas for community members who want to take on more difficult challenges. On the technical side, TrackIR support and AMD FSR have also added to the game.
Everspace 2 is on its final stretch, with a final early access update that previews the endgame before the team tweaks 1.0. With this update, a lot of balancing and quality of life improvements have also been made.
Another major updateEverspace 2 is scheduled for 2022. Ancient Rifts, scheduled for release this fall, will give players their first look at final game content with high-risk, high-reward challenges.
