Greetings Pilots! In our last update, we mentioned EVERSPACE 2 has been an amazing success for our studio and today we’re able to share a little more! TL;DR, watch the EVERSPACE 2 Accolades Trailer! [previewyoutube=pZRfc1lWtW8;full]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZRfc1lWtW8[/previewyoutube] Over the last few weeks we’ve seen a huge influx of new players and long-time Early Access pilots with nearly 10,000 of you playing at the same time at one point! To-date, more than 300,000 EVERSPACE 2 pilots have bought and begun their adventure in our five year project, with an additional 100,000+ players coming in on PC Game Pass. Outside of pure sales and in-game player numbers, there is incredibly strong interest in the game. We’re seeing demo downloads and wishlists like mad which tells us many space fans have their eyes on EVERSPACE 2 for the future. It’s been very exciting to see everyone loving EVERSPACE 2 on social media and streaming platforms! Many of our favorite streamers like [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FI8lYnpaJKw&ab_channel=CohhCarnage]CohhCarnage[/url], Skill Up, and [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Km3laDaXqxw&ab_channel=ObsidianAnt]ObsidianAnt[/url] have been praising EVERSPACE 2, and we’ve seen an incredible number of content creators pick up and play on YouTube, Twitch, and elsewhere for the first time. With outstanding [url=https://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/everspace-2]Metacritic[/url] and [url=https://opencritic.com/game/10830/everspace-2]Opencritic[/url] aggregate scores, it’s apparent the critics have many positive things to say! We’ve had applause from the media with sites like PC Gamer and Gaming Trend saying things like "Everspace 2 is not Freelancer. It's better" and "...the best space game I’ve played in a very long time." A brilliant write up at [url=https://www.vice.com/en/article/v7be7m/everspace-2-is-a-space-shooter-that-feels-at-home-beneath-the-earth]VICE[/url] along with the [url=https://forum.waypoint.vice.com/t/wpr-558-everspace-2-is-heating-up/34562]follow up Waypoint[/url] podcast really shows how excited reviewers can be about the game when it really clicks! All these reviews warm our hearts even when they’re peppered with a little criticism.

As we’ve said in the past, we’ve begun work on our first major DLC and the team is cooking up something very exciting. It is way too soon to share the details of what they’re working on, but for now just know that there is more adventure ahead—the coming expansion will add more star systems, exciting story missions, and, of course, new loot! Finally, thank you for being an amazing community of space game fans. We couldn’t have created EVERSPACE 2 without your support, especially all you pilots who stuck with us through Early Access. 🫡 Michael & your dedicated ROCKFISH Games team 🚀
