Fans will be happy to know that remains pretty much fully intact and expanded in Everspace 2. From freelance scrapper to mercenary extrordinaireīy far, one of the most enjoyable elements of Everspace was the ability to choose and deck out your ship in a multitude of armaments, equipment, and capabilities. For what I could see, the random occurrences (especially unknown signals) could use some extra variety, but the more focused explorable star systems of Everspace 2 are interesting and don’t lose out on the vastness found in the original game.
#EVERSPACE 2 INITIAL RELEASE DATE FULL#
It’s just that all of this explorable and occasionally random space is also tied into a core story full of static, yet interesting destinations and opportunities as well. There’s also randomly-appearing opportunities such as unknown signals in which you could discover enemy patrols, bases, or scattered fields of debris and loot or distress calls in which you can fight scavengers off of merchant convoys for an impromptu reward. Each system is a vast array of regions filled with locations to explore and loot, all while engaging in frequent free-flying dogfights with enemy forces looking to make space dust of you. Don’t get us wrong, there’s still a lot to explore. It'll definitely be one of the two, but it’s your job to try and make sure Adam and company don’t find themselves on the latter end of those possibilities.Įven in early access, Everspace 2 is proving to have a far more directed campaign than that of the original.
Ben gets hurt and Adam finds himself aligned with a mysterious fellow known as Dax who offers them a station to call their homebase, an opportunity to help Ben, and a scheme that could leave them rich enough to settle down for life… or dead.
They have plans of finishing up a few last gigs and then taking a severance check and settling down, but of course it hardly goes according to plan.
In this game, players take on the role of Adam, a freelance escort pilot working alongside his friend Ben for a mining company. However, where the original Everspace was more focused on a roguelike experience in which every challenge was a mystery that might never play out the same twice, Everspace 2 engages players in the story of a thoughtfully-constructed galaxy of factions and forces the player will align with and fight against as they explore its rich depths. The game is still built around free-roaming space combat that doesn’t get buried in too technical of an interface. Right off the bat, there’s as much new as there is familiar to Everspace 2. Rockfish Games has gone all-out to expand Everspace 2 beyond the original game in terms of visuals and combat and we strapped in to see for ourselves what the early access version had in store for our next galactic adventure. A few demos and reveals later, Everspace 2 has finally arrived in early access form on Steam in 2021.
It did well enough to spur the team through to a sequel which saw a highly successful Kickstarter. Back in 2017, the first Everspace launched, offering a fast-paced roguelike spacefaring and combat adventure.
