Set in a persistent open world, it is driven by a captivating sci-fi story that picks up shortly after the events of its predecessor, but instead of the previous roguelike game mechanics, the focus in EverSpace 2 will be on open world gameplay combined with classic RPG elements and extended storytelling.
Thanks to the expanded perks and a brand new class-based player ship system with dozens of models, players can also fully customize their spaceship to their individual playing style with weapons, plating, and equipment, similar to classic RPG character development. Despite all the innovations, EverSpace 2 remains true to its space shooter core and presents fast-paced space action in the well-known EverSpace style.
The story of EverSpace 2 continues from its predecessor, as you continue the story of Adam Roslin, one of the surviving cloned military space pilot. The player is faced with the remnants of his past: the cloning program has been canceled, the colonial authorities have placed a bounty on him,
Players will experience Adam’s journey as he learns what it means to transition from a clone with unlimited lives, yet persistent memories, so now that dying means the ultimate death the search for the meaning of life suddenly takes on a whole new importance. Adam’s journey will be shaped through meaningful relationships with interesting companions as he discovers that life is only worth-living if there is also something worth dying for. Fate, however, has big plans and soon the player discovers what it means to evolve from a former military clone to a truly real person.
EverSpace 2 not only creates a powerful gaming experience, but also one that is visually impressive in the beautiful infinity of space where breathtaking cinematic scenery invites - encourages - exploration.
Coming to PC (Steam/GOG), Xbox, and PlayStation on May 12, 2025 at $29.99 / €29.99 / £24.99 / ¥3900, fully voiced in English and German.
, the Wrath of the Ancients expansion continues the EverSpace 2 story, adding new star systems to explore and expanding existing star systems with new side quests.
Players will be able to pilot a new ship to battle against alien enemies and ancient threats in an all-new story set after the events of EverSpace 2. Mysterious attacks have laid waste to human settlements in Cluster 34, destabilizing factions in power and stranding survivors. With this destruction, the uneasy peace between humankind and Okkar is threatened—space pilots will venture into the Okkar Homeworlds to discover the truth behind the threat before war reignites the DMZ.
During the events of Wrath of the Ancients, warp gates open to four new fully explorable star systems including the Okkar homeworlds and Aethon, adding even more secrets throughout Cluster 34. These new star systems will be packed with new enemies, weapons, and gear to discover.
“Space pilots only have a short while longer to wait until they can experience this exciting chapter of the EVERSPACE saga. This massive expansion packages together much of what our community has been asking for: new places to explore, more enemies to fight, an additional spacecraft to master, and gear to discover,” said ROCKFISH Games CEO and Co-Founder, Michael Schade. “The team has pulled out all the stops for Wrath of the Ancients. They’ve excelled themselves over the course of development, crafting stunning content for players all around the globe. I can’t wait to see what fans think of it.”
“The German video game industry remains strong, supported by generous grants from the
German government to create a level playing field to countries that have had tax break programs for decades.” said Schade. “These grants help create jobs and fund creative projects that showcase German technical and expertise across many game genres. I hope to see programs like this continue as they do an excellent job supporting especially small and mid-sized studios all over the country to stay fully independent. A program that has become even more important with the ongoing lack of industry funding for new projects.”The release of EVERSPACE 2: Wrath of the Ancients will be accompanied by new digital Official Soundtrack and artbook DLCs on PC, collecting music and art developed since the release of the base game, as well as a Galactic Edition collecting EVERSPACE 2 and all its expansions into one package on Xbox and PlayStation.
EverSpace 2 is available for PC (Steam/GOG), PS5 and Xbox Series X|S for $49.99 USD / £44.99 / €49.99 / ¥6930.
