Greetings, Pilots!
From concept through the launch of its last expansion, the journey of EVERSPACE 2 took nearly eight years and many trips around the globe—quite the adventure for a team of thirty based in Hamburg!
Through it all, we were joined by you, our community of space game fans, who began to explore the star systems of EVERSPACE 2 through our prototype, Steam Next Fest Demo, Early Access release, or even after our full launch on PC in April of 2023.
During Early Access, we received an incredible amount of feedback and insights from the community, and you all kept that momentum after launch. Since then, we’ve delivered two massive free updates, Armed and Dangerous and Incursions, and navigated many patches adding quality-of-life features, community requested changes, fixes, tweaks, and more. On top of all these updates, we migrated EVERSPACE 2 to Unreal Engine 5, a not-so-small task that temporarily broke a few things, but set the project up for the long term.
Beyond EVERSPACE 2, we continued to deliver out-of-this-world content through two expansions. EVERSPACE 2: Titans introduced massive encounters that pushed boundaries to the limit and EVERSPACE 2: Wrath of the Ancients took us beyond the borders of the DMZ to explore facets of the Okkar culture never seen before.
For those who wanted more, we delivered the EVERSPACE 2: Supporter Pack, plus packed digital artbooks and thrilling soundtracks—much asked for items by our hardcore fans.
Now you have the opportunity to say “great work!” by voting for EVERSPACE 2 in the Labor of Love category of the 2025 Steam Awards. A nomination here would help propel the space game genre into the limelight and breathe new life into a game we’ve worked so long on.
If you’ve already voted, or have another game in mind for this award, that’s fine! We ask that you instead leave a positive review on an indie game you love. It’ll help more fans who like the same experiences you do discover something new.
Lee and your ROCKFISH Games team
