Well, that’s definitely a good problem to have, and we’re already wor
EVERSPACE 2 Launch | Troubleshooting | Pricing | Disliked & Wanted | Outlook2021-01-29Greetings, Pilots! PHEW, what a launch week! EVERSPACE 2’s start in Steam Early Access exceeded our wildest expectations. So far, we’ve received overwhelmingly positive feedback from fans and press all over the world. After we started Early Access with more than 260,000 wishlist entries on Steam, we were very confident. However, we would never have dared to dream that we would land at number 1 on the global Steam Charts in no time and stay in the top ten for six consecutive days, resulting in EVERSPACE 2 becoming Steam's #2 top seller of last week. Last week’s sneaky reveal: You wanted it, you got it: EVERSPACE 2 is available on NVIDIA Geforc

EVERSPACE 2 Production Update #24 | Pre-Release Key Giveaways2020-12-04Greetings, pilots! Today’s production update will be the last for this year. Obviously, we had a different main topic planned for this one. We’re fully aware that many of you still feel bummed out about our new Early Access release date, even though we have received a lot of understanding for our reasoning from our backers. So thanks again for your support! We’d like to conclude an unprecedentedly rough year for probably all of us on a high note. Thanks to our new timeline, we got some cool new content and features to share that would not have made it into the Early Access release version (our code freeze was pushed back by two weeks, the con
EVERSPACE 2 Beta Streaming | Production Update | Key Giveaways2020-10-30Greetings, pilots! Let’s get the cyber elephant out of the room right away: The Cyberpunk 2077 release has just been pushed back to December 10, which is a major blow to our planned EVERSPACE 2 Early Access release in mid-December. Not only will every media outlet and content creator cover the arguably most-anticipated AAA game in history throughout the entire holiday season (and not much else), we also know that there’s quite a bit of audience overlap within our community (and our team), so... After a quick consultation with our marketing friends at Evolve PR, Plan Of Attack, and Swordfish PR, we’ve decided to push back the EVERSPACE 2 Early

EVERSPACE 2 DevBlog - Alpha Highlights & Improvements | Star System 02 - Union2020-07-24What. A. Blast!

Then there was also the amazing charity stream by Cohh Carnage, raising some mind-boggling $232K in funding for a great cause. With over 14K viewers, EVERSPACE 2 was on the Twitch front page and drove a similar number
