After polishing its cabin for nearly two years in early access, Everspace 2 was officially released in the wild in April 2023 on PC, and on the PC Game Pass. With over 350,000 sales on Steam and 120,000 players on PC Game Pass, the space opera by Rockfish has clearly found its audience. Although the title offers more than a hundred planets (all designed by hand, no randomness here) to explore, spread over several star systems, the playing field was not large enough. Might as well explore the hostile territories of the consoles. This will be done on August 15, 2023, the date on which the shoot Space will be coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series. Game Pass subscribers will be able to enjoy the game day one.
He’s a spacer… A star chaser…
Very typical arcade in its piloting of ships, Everspace 2 offers an accessible and easy-to-learn piloting experience. This does not prevent the title from offering a great depth of play, with enormous capacities for customization and ship upgrades, and a scripted campaign of around thirty hours. Lovers of looter shooter should also find their account there since space exploration and the hunt for space pirates are rewarded with lots of items intended to improve your homemade X-Wing.
Those who swear by physical editions will be happy to learn that publisher Maximum Games is working with Rockfish to offer a physical version ofEverspace 2. This will go on sale from October 3, 2023. There will be a steel booka 64-page artbook and the game’s original soundtrack in digital format.
If you suffer from an irrepressible urge to go and throw yourself into the immensity of space while waiting for the release of a certain Starfield, you can already test the demo ofEverspace 2available on Steam.
