EVERSPACE 2

EVERSPACE 2 trades the original game's roguelike runs for a 30-hour story-driven campaign through Cluster 34, a war-torn demilitarized zone in the EVERSPACE universe. Completionists run past 90 hours. Adam, a clone pilot from the first game, has friends, enemies, and a long-running debt collector chasing him across more than 100 handcrafted locations spread across seven star systems.

Dogfighting carries over the first game's tight feel: dodge, boost, roll, manage shields and afterburner, then chain weapon abilities across drones, fighters, gunships and the occasional capital ship. Six ship classes fly very differently, and a virtually endless pool of equipment, devices, weapons and perks lets builds get specific. Traders across the cluster will swap your current ship for a different model and store the old one.

The endgame is structured around High-Risk Areas and Ancient Rifts that escalate enemy difficulty in exchange for legendary gear. Treasure puzzles, asteroid sweeps and salvaging hidden caches reward exploration. Released into 1.0 in April 2023, then console in August.
