ROCKFISH Games initiated a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter to support the development of EVERSPACE 2, the successor to their previously acclaimed space shooter. The campaign, which ran until November 4, 2019, sought to engage the gaming community in the production of this new title.
The sequel represents a significant evolution in the franchise, shifting from the original’s structure to an open-world gameplay model. Key features include the integration of classic role-playing game elements, expanded player progression systems, and a deeper narrative focus. While the game continues the story of the clone space pilot introduced in the first installment, the developers indicated that the sequel would introduce unexpected plot developments and narrative surprises.
This announcement highlights the strategic transition of the studio toward more complex, open-ended game design. By leveraging the Kickstarter platform, the developers aimed to secure community backing to realize these expanded creative ambitions. The initiative underscores the studio's commitment to building upon the established foundation of the EVERSPACE brand while significantly broadening the scope of the player experience through RPG mechanics and a more immersive, open-world environment.
