Space Punks is a top-down looter shooter that features insane, over-the-top action in a unique, irreverent sci-fi setting.

Space Punksoffers crazy action in a unique, unconventional sci-fi world, in which players shoot for fame and fortune and take on lucrative jobs on remote planets despite the unlikely chances of success. The players have the opportunity to pave their way to fame, honor and fortune by accepting lucrative assignments on distant planets and taking on all chances of success.

Space Punks is designed as a living, breathing, and ever-changing game world - a truly living game that is in line with Flying Wild Hog's creative mission of creating action-packed, fast-paced, and wholeheartedly unique titles that take players into unexpected and kidnap exciting new worlds.

The gameplay will delight not only hardcore fans of the dungeon crawl / loot shooter genre, but players all over the wide world of games. As is common in action role-playing games, there are complex skill trees that make it possible to develop different types of characters through experience. In addition, there is plenty of loot and equipment to help characters out on their adventures.


Jagex announced early access to its new free action game Space Punks, which will be released on July 14, 2021 will be available exclusively in the Epic Games Store.

Space Punks will continue to develop and grow with its lively and ever-changing game world - during Early Access, in the open beta and beyond.

Players can try out the game during Early Access by registering for a free key or by purchasing a Founder's Pack from the Epic Games Store .

A start-up package guarantees participation in Early Access, available in two versions:

  • Show-off package (€23.99/£21.99/$29.99): The basic package for any would-be outsider guarantees early access and unlocks all four main characters. The package also includes a Season 1 Battle Pass for the Open Beta, as well as exclusive backgrounds, four emotes, the Epic Cape and the Epic Sprint Effect.
  • Prosperity Package (€39.99/£34.99/$49.99): The ultimate starter package, only for die-hard scoundrels! In addition to everything that the Show-Off Pack contains, it has other advantages: four epic character skins, one epic player appearance and more.

Jagex General Manager Phil Mansell said, “We are really excited to present Space Punks - a game we are exclusively launching on the Epic Games Store, the first of our Jagex Partners published games, our publishing program. The anticipation is great! Space Punks sums up our philosophy of "living games" perfectly. It offers players a deep, social, multiplayer experience that keeps evolving. We look forward to applying our knowledge and experience in building a huge community that we have acquired over the course of 20 years with the RuneScape franchise. We will use it to support Space Punks and future games from Jagex Partners. "

Managing Director and Co-Founder of Flying Wild Hog Michał Sbestak said: “We have been developing explosive, fast-paced action games for more than twelve years. They are part of our DNA. We're continuing this tradition with Space Punks and we're very excited to add another game to our portfolio of explosive games. We are proud of what our team in Krakow came up with - a wonderful mix of outrageous RPG action in a sci-fi world with self-conscious humor. We're excited to be working with the seasoned team at Jagex Partners and the Epic Games Store to introduce Space Punks to players around the world. We can't wait until you can try the game for yourself. "

Head of Flying Wild Hog's Krakow studio and game director of space punks Michał Kuk added:Space Punkscombines a colorful comic atmosphere and an unconventional, humorous atmosphere with a surreal touch. We wanted to create something new - something that was explosive and never been there! We found that there was a real lack of games like Space Punks. One of our main strengths as game developers is our experience with action games. We know and love smooth hand-to-hand combat and fast-paced shooters. So we applied this knowledge to the top-down perspective - with a focus on multiplayer and a touch of humor. Most of all, we look forward to gathering helpful feedback from gamers during Early Access so we can make Space Punks a really living game until the PC Open Beta starts in winter and Space Punks hits consoles next year will be playing. "

Key Features:

  • Endless arsenal: firearms, grenades, gadgets, things that! Whatever weapon you're looking for, this galaxy has it all. And they only have one purpose: immediate fulfillment of your wishes.
  • Limitless Power: If you want something in this universe, it's MORE. Everything here revolves around space modeling clay. Grab things. Get famous. And get more powerful with every run.
  • No heroes: outsiders. Pirates. Rascals. Don't call them heroes. They may have hearts of gold, but they would love to mortgage them to get money for weapons.
  • Share the glory: Sure, you have to share your loot, but nothing beats the shared exhilaration after a successful run with your closest friends in the galaxy.
  • Brilliant Galaxy: The universe is strange and wonderful, full of weird and not really wonderful things ... they're all waiting to kill you. Better kill them first!

Space Punks will be available in PC Early Access from July 14th, with an open beta is planned for winter 2021 and a console release in 2022.
