'Hardspace: Shipbreaker' Available On Steam Early Access This Summer - Trailer

Hardspace: Shipbreaker is a new sandbox space sim where you, as a salvager armed with cutting-edge tech, will carve up massive spaceships piece by piece in zero G for cold hard loot.

Across your career, you’ll have the privilege of paying your debt to us by purchasing salvaging rights to increasingly large and valuable ships. Cut them open and extract as much value as possible!

You are equipped with the latest in LYNX tech. Carve entry points, salvage valuable materials and components with your cutting tool or slice scrap metal at any angle into a million pieces as you ponder a lonely existence… the possibilities are endless! Be cautious – dying is extremely unprofitable.

We strongly advise upgrading your tools, helmet and suit to take on more lucrative contracts - all you need to worry about is how you’ll pay for it!

As of today, your debt amounts to:
999,999,999 Credits

Good luck on the job, cutter!

Hardspace: Shipbreaker is available through Steam Early Access for $24.99, with a 20% launch week discount.

Early access will launch with a variety of exciting features to discover, including the first act of the story campaign, two classes of spaceship to salvage, and multiple upgradeable tools and perks. Throughout early access, the team plans on releasing new spaceship classes, missions, challenges, leaderboards, modding support and much more based on feedback from the community.

“We’ve been working on Hardspace: Shipbreaker for many years already, but we know we’re just scratching the surface in terms of the potential and promise this new genre and style of game holds. We’re not even close to done in terms of features, gameplay ideas, storytelling, and much more – why not give the game the time it needs, in combination with community support? On that note, we know there are an almost infinite number of options in terms of where we take this game, and which we do first. We want your help to determine that – what makes you most excited? What most needs fixed? Which major features should be next on the inclusion list? We’ll regularly be asking you these questions to drive development in the correct direction and making Hardspace: Shipbreaker the absolute best game it can be.”

“We have a rough plan for a year of development beginning in Summer 2020. However, game development is a long, difficult, and massively fun process that can easily extend beyond plans once you involve the excellent ideas of a big community. We’ll decide down the line exactly how much game we consider to be the 1.0 version, but we’d rather stay in Early Access for as long as needed than come out early to hit an imaginary window we’ve set for ourselves.”

Key Features:

  • Experience daily life as a blue-collar spaceship salvager
  • Cut and destroy at will within a next-generation physics simulation
  • Upgrade tools and unlock new perks to take on harder contracts

Hardspace: Shipbreaker is in development for PS4, Xbox One and PC.
