Frankly speaking, we believe this model is more transparent and fair to everyone involved than classic pre-orders if done right, which is why we've been showing off the latest dev build every Friday on our Twitch [and YouTube channel.Ĭhances are, just like in the predecessor, ES2 pilots will be able to continue with their Early Access saves at v1.0 unless we don't have to make fundamental technical changes to the game which is always a possibility. We're making an old-school premium, offline, single-player game with a (meanwhile) two-year Early Access period, working closely with our community to help us make the best space combat/exploration game possible within our AA dev budget. Yep, that's pretty much correct, and we fully understand that some pilots are not happy about this, but, please understand that ES2 is still in development and not a GaaS title!
#Everspace 2 road map update#
Thats a big bummer i really thought the systems would be fleshed out next year and they would just add content.īut i do love the update and the detailed roadmap. Another new companion will be available here, and the player level cap will be increased.Originally posted by Jimmy:Wait from what i understand the game will come out of E.A in early 2023.so that means even with all of the big updates in 2022 we still have to wait for the final b uild in 2023 and the final wipe of all save games in order to play the game safely. Zharkov will have new enemies, creatures, and space phenomena to explore, along with yet more missions, side missions, and activities. The summer will bring Everspace 2’s third system, Zharkov, and a continuation of the game’s main story which will have players “investigate further into Grady & Brunt’s shady business in the Eye of the Storm.” This update will also bring two new fighters, the Light Fighter Vanguard and a Heavy Fighter Bomber, along with a new companion that looks sort of like a bearded Yoda. However, developer Rockfish Games has given us a roadmap to see when the game’s story might find closure, and what other new stuff pilots will get between now and the fall.Ĭoming up in April will be an update titled “Union: Contracts/Heartland.” The idea here is to expand some of Everspace 2’s second system with new missions, side missions, activities, challenges, and more.
It’s playable, and it’s fun, but if you were looking for a complete story arc, this ain’t it. Whereas the first Everspace was an action flight roguelike, Everspace 2 is much more like an RPG–so much so that Eric’s been comparing it favorably with the likes of The Witcher and Mass Effect.Įverspace 2 is still in Early Access, which means it’s not done yet.
