Massive Space Battles and Tech Upgrades Land in EVERSPACE 2 with Latest Update
Prepare to navigate the cosmic chaos as EVERSPACE 2 rolls out its latest update, Incursions, featuring not just monumental battles but a strategic shift to Unreal Engine 5.3. This free update hits the gaming universe with an armada of enhancements and new content, aiming to elevate the experience for pilots across platforms including PC and PlayStation, with Xbox joining the fleet shortly.
Stellar Achievements and Enhanced Gameplay
ROCKFISH Games, the stellar minds behind EVERSPACE 2, recently celebrated a significant triumph at the 2024 Deutsche Computerspielpreis, snagging the Best German Game award. Riding this wave of success, the team introduces the Incursions update, which deepens the game’s lore and widens the scope of action. The story picks up intensity as Adam Roslin and his crew’s actions tear through the fabric of the universe, allowing the ancient entities from rift space to invade reality. It’s up to the players to engage in these new Incursions activities, battling against enemy hordes and shutting down the beacons that facilitate their invasion.
Loot, Customize, and Conquer
The update is a treasure trove for loot enthusiasts with 15 new legendary items, customizable modules for the front, rear, and cockpit, and alluring reliquary treasures unlockable in the revamped Ancient Rift mode. EVERSPACE 2 pilots will also enjoy a souped-up photo mode, a retooled Scout “Shadow Strike” ultimate ability, and an expanded legendary item limit per loadout. Community feedback has been pivotal, leading to numerous tweaks and the addition of controller button remapping on console versions.
Tech Advancements with Unreal Engine 5.3
The migration to Unreal Engine 5.3 is a game-changer, allowing ROCKFISH Games to harness cutting-edge features like Lumen GI on DirectX 12, Nvidia Reflex latency reduction, and several advanced upscalers. Michael Schade, CEO and co-founder of ROCKFISH Games, shared, “Migrating EVERSPACE 2 to Unreal Engine 5.3 was a monumental challenge, but it sets the stage for future premium content. This update isn’t just about leveraging new tech; it’s about setting the groundwork for more expansive updates that we are excited to unveil later.”
