Jump Ship is a co-op multiplayer game in which players will need to work together in order to survive as they operate and repair their ship, scour space debris for resources and battle enemy ships. Despite being a co-op first experience, solo play will also be encouraged and balanced accordingly. Transition seamlessly from crewing the ship to on-foot exploration and space walks. Engage in intense battles both on the ground and in space, and always keep your ship upgraded and intact.

Upgrade and customise your ship as you face off against the challenges of space exploration, and scavenge resources to ensure your survival. Reinforce your defences, adjust your energy output for speed or bolster your ship’s attack capabilities - the choice is yours.

Experience fluid gameplay as you switch from steering your ship out of an asteroid field to jetpacking towards an enemy vessel to sabotage its core. Seamlessly transition between exploration, combat and traversal.

Go on missions with your friends and take on roles, from piloting to engineering and field exploration. Work together to overcome enemy attacks, extinguish fires on the command deck or adjust your ship’s power grid on the fly. There are no set classes in Jump Ship, improvise and decide how you want to engage.

Keepsake Games are excited to announce that Jump Ship will be launching into Early Access this summer.

The Keepsake Games team is also currently hosting a closed beta that players can sign up for here.

“Our goal was to create a game that balances the fun and immersion of space exploration.” says Daniel Kaplan, CEO of Keepsake Games. “Coming from Hazelight, Mojang and Coffee Stain, we understand how to make a great co-op game, and we’ve reached a point where player input is vital in order for us to make Jump Ship as good as it can be. That’s why we’re releasing into Early Access this summer - to work directly with our players, listen to their feedback, and combine it with our vision.”

Jump Ship is set to launch into Early Access on PC and Xbox this summer.

Key features:

• Modular Exploration - Each adventure is divided into multiple jumps, giving players a chance to dip in and out of handcrafted adventures with randomised events and modifiers. Whether it’s a solar flare, an asteroid shower or a pirate raid, no two runs will be the same.
• Seamless Adventuring - Operating a space vessel requires crewmembers to be scrappy and flexible, which is why Jump Ship makes the experience seamless. Players can exit their ship to repair the outer deck, explore the surface of an asteroid or jetpack towards an enemy vessel seamlessly, without loading screens or transitions.
• Build, Maintain and Pilot your Spaceship - Each adventure will yield materials and blueprints to upgrade the players’ jump ship for the next adventure. Crewmates work towards a common goal of making it out alive with as much loot as possible.
• Fly with a crew, or go solo - Jump Ship is best enjoyed with friends, but solo adventurers are welcome too.

Jump Ship is in development for Xbox and PC (Steam).
