EVERSPACE 2 1.0 Launches Today! - Pilots, brace for impact! Launch day is here! After more than five years of development, with over two years in Early Access, v1.0 is finally ready to download on Steam, GOG, and the Microsoft Windows Store! What a ride it's been… and we're not done yet! More on that below! We've put together an absolutely amazing EVERSPACE 2 PC Launch Trailer. Longtime EVERSPACE 2 players may spot new scenes in already-seen areas. Let's see if you catch them all.

With 1.0, we're adding the final chapter of the campaign, which lets you explore the new star system Khione, unlock tier 4 ships, find the best trading deals for commodities, and face new bosses, plus a whole host of other neat additions. But before you start a new game (strongly recommended) and delve in, let's stop for a moment and take a look back at the very beginning to appreciate just what an insane journey we've been together on. You can read the history behind the game here.



New Star System
Khione, the new and final star system in EVERSPACE 2, is all about frozen water, from vast iceteroid fields and massive space glaciers to ice caves deep underground. As if that environment wasn't harsh enough, the system's cold sun emits devastating solar flares that deplete shields in no time in locations close to the region's central star. This makes the new treasure hunt mechanic particularly interesting, as pilots need to take cover from those bursts to get around while following specific electromagnetic pulse signals.

Final Story Chapter
Pilots who've played every story mission in EVERSPACE 2 so far still have a ways to go. The plot leads back to Drake, where you must convince another companion to join your party. His special combat ability will come in very handy in large-scale battles of the final main missions. Before Adam gathers all his allies for the final fight, he'll be stranded in the new Khione system and has to figure out a way back all by himself. This is also where he'll be confronted with his past, the very place where everything began.


Step into the pilot seat in EVERSPACE 2. This fast-paced single-player space shooter is filled with vicious encounters and brutal challenges that stand between you and the next epic loot drop. Embark on an exciting sci-fi adventure set in the war-torn star systems of the Demilitarized Zone of Cluster 34, where each massive handcrafted area is packed with secrets, puzzles, and perils. Dangers await in every corner of the universe—level up, craft, and loot better gear to survive on the edge of space.



Available now on PC, coming to Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 this summer.

I'll put it on my long wishlist, wait till it's 7 bucks for the 15th time on a sale because the base price at some point stagnates and the discount is the same 75% every sale...and then still not buy it because who gives a crap.

For someone who's unfortunately never heard of this it's quote interesting, any other games to liken it to? Almost seems like Freespace 2

This is more like Darkstar One combined with Freelancer. If you liked either of those Games you will enjoy this.
