EVERSPACE™ 2 - Merro


Greetings, Pilots!

Many of our longtime EVERSPACE 2 pilots on PC noticed the addition of ten new hidden achievements to Steam ahead of our EVERSPACE 2: Titans launch September 16. These were added so our testers could make sure everything was working properly ahead of release.


Many fans in our community have asked what these achievements are and what it’ll take to unlock them, so here you are!

Read on for slight spoilers and a closer look at the cool new achievement icons.


It’s a Sabotage

Greetings, Pilots!

The news is out and you don’t have long to wait. EVERSPACE 2: Titans is coming to pilots on all platforms September 16, 2024.



Bigger is BETTER. That’s why we’ve chosen to bring two massive much-anticipated encounters to EVERSPACE 2—the Dreadnought and Leviathan. Originally teased as potential content when we first revealed EVERSPACE 2, these are two encounters that our design team have been excited to put in players’ hands.

Dreadnought and Leviathan have their own associated questline that triggers midway through the story of EVERSPACE 2. This expansion introduces new enemies, gear, craftables, and resources, as well as new faces to meet and adventure with. These stories are approximately three to four hours long and offer new challenges as you clash against these titans. After completing the story, you’ll be able to rediscover these challenges while exploring certain star systems.



In Dreadnought, Outlaws have hijacked the Minokawa, a last-of-its-kind battleship from the Colonial war that enroute to be decommissioned. Possession of this space station-killer class ship will throw the balance of power in Cluster 34 to whoever is able to restore it. Adam is contracted to join a group of freelancers hired to track and defeat this titanic threat, but be prepared to engage in the biggest battle in the EVERSPACE series so far!



The new Leviathan quest line brings an entirely new experience to EVERSPACE 2. Sightings of the legendary Leviathan have spread amongst the fortune seekers of Cluster 34 including your least favorite cultists, the Redeemers. Venture deep into the Khaït Nebula to discover the truth of these massive, presumed-to-be-extinct creatures! Not all that is swallowed is lost—treasures are said to lay deep inside the bowels of this beast and that’s exactly where you’re going to end up. Travel inside to discover valuable new resources can be found inside the guts of these massive creatures. No two ventures inside will be the same as the many stomachs and organs of these beasts rearrange themselves.

EVERSPACE 2: Titans is our first story and gameplay DLC, but there’s more to come. Head over to our store pages on Steam, GOG, Microsoft Store, Xbox to wishlist today



Our physical artbook, The Art of EVERSPACE 2, is on sale on the Amazon US and Amazon Germany stores. If you’ve been holding off on treating yourself to this hefty book, now’s the time to pick it up. Gamescom attendees can find this book at the IGN Store booth.

Lucky pilots headed to Gamescom can get hands-on for an early taste of this DLC in the Indie Arena Booth, Hall 10.2. We can’t wait to see all you world travelers at one of our favorite conventions!

For now, we’ve got work to do polishing up EVERSPACE 2: Titans to ensure these new challenges meet your expectations. See you in the (titanic) stars!

Greetings, Pilots!

We have a minor hotfix going out today on all platforms. This fix solves an irritating issue stopping many pilots from completing all challenges on Vesna. Now, the bugged shield generators on Vesna can be accessed and destroyed.

Additionally, the update includes a Steam Deck specific fix that should stop EVERSPACE 2 from crashing in areas like Prescott Starbase.

Changelog Update 1.2.40068:
  • Fixed that the "3-Shield-Generators" puzzle on Vesna could not be completed
    Note: Players need to leave and re-enter the location or load a savegame in the location for the fix to apply correctly.
  • Integrated community suggestions for translation improvements from Crowdin
  • Fixed that some characters in Traditional Chinese subtitles were not correctly displayed
  • [Steam Deck] Always use DirectX 11 (regardless of initial DirectX selection) to prevent VRAM related crashes

It will probably be a while before our next update, but that doesn’t mean we’re not listening! Please continue to report bugs and feature requests in our Discord and Steam forum. While we may not respond to every feature request or bug report, our community team reads every message.

As we work on future expansion content, we’re continuing to look into performance optimization opportunities. When we have more to share, we’ll be sure to do so!

See you in the stars!

Greetings, Pilots!

We’ve pressed buttons and now the EVERSPACE 2 Incursions Update is rocketing your way! Let’s dig into everything contained in this massive free update.

INSERT INCURSIONS TRAILER HERE


New Incursions Events
Past a certain rift-related point in the EVERSPACE 2 story, Incursions beacons will begin to appear as events on player maps. We’ve added a small portion of story in-game explaining how rifts came to be—perhaps Adam and crew shouldn’t be so flippant about playing with the fabric of space.

These new horde-mode style combat challenges pit pilots against fleets of enemies that are spawned in by Beacons. Destroy enemy ships to drain a Beacon’s shields, but be quick! You’ll have only seconds to strike.

Defeating all the beacons in an area completes the Incursion and rewards players with a large loot drop including chances at new legendary gear and Reliquary treasure chests.



New Legendary Gear
Fifteen new legendary items can be found in Rifts and Reliquaries. Legendaries also have a chance to drop in rare, superior and legendary High-Risk Areas. Tier four ships can equip one additional piece of legendary gear.

Read on for loot spoilers!

Rime - Pulse Laser
Has a chance on hit to freeze targets, turning them "Icebound" for a few seconds. Killing an icebound enemy creates a frost explosion that deals radial damage.

Last Rites - Rail Gun
Each successive, fully charged hit increases the damage. Resets after a few seconds or after missing a shot.

Grim Reaper - Blaster
Critical hits with this weapon will instantly kill targets with low hull.

The Scourge - Scatter Gun
Charging this weapon will absorb armor and shield from nearby enemies and add it to the shot as kinetic and energy damage respectively.

Hunter’s Fang - Thermo Gun
After hitting an enemy, the projectiles will continue to track consecutive targets within range, dealing reduced damage with each jump.

Perfect Hatred - Gauss Cannon
Killing an enemy with this weapon grants a charge of "Seething Wrath", increasing damage for each stack. When you stop firing, the charges are consumed, granting damage reduction for a few seconds and recharges a portion of shield, boost and weapon energy.

Figure of Eight - Mine Launcher
Creates a singularity that pulls in smaller enemies within range. Afterwards, the mine explodes, damaging nearby targets.

Ritual - Homing Missile
Unleashes a swarm of autonomous homing missiles, seeking random targets in front of you. The damage is increased for each targeted enemy.

Zero-K Boomer - Rocket Launcher
The rockets are equipped with a proximity sensor that triggers frost explosions along their way, dealing damage to enemies in a range radius and freezing them for a few seconds.

Pestilence - Sensor
If the initial target of the Annihilator Virus survives the infection, it will remain infected and suffer another burst of damage after a few seconds. During this time it will be able to infect new targets.

Equilibrium - Energy Core
Consuming one type of energy (shield, boost or weapons) will recharge the other two for a portion of the amount spent.

Fields of Mayhem - Cargo Unit
Sticky Turret consumables gain unlimited charges and their projectile range is increased. The maximum number of turrets active at a time is significantly increased.

Ragnarök - Plating
After you damage an enemy for the first time, they become destabilized for a few seconds, increasing the damage they take.

Epicenter - Thruster
Teleporter creates a shockwave at the target location, dealing damage to enemies within range and stunning them for a few seconds.

Momentum - Thruster
While in combat, boosting forward builds up space debris around your ship. Upon stopping, the debris is launched, dealing damage to enemies within range in front of you, depending on the amount of debris collected.

Legendary Catalysts
Legendary Catalysts are new rare catalysts that can only be applied to Legendary equipment. Discover these by completing new High-Risk Areas that can be found using new Legendary Signal Decoders. These new Catalysts can be used to improve gear attributes, break Legendary equipment limits, and make Legendary gear part of certain item sets.

Flawless - All
Sets all randomized attributes to their maximum value.

Peripheral - All
Allows this legendary to be equipped despite the limit being reached. Can only extend the limit once.

Chaos - All
Randomly shuffles ALL attributes and stats of the item, for better or worse.

Sovereign - Weapons
Gains +2 item levels, reduced by 0.5 per active set bonus

Thunderous - All
Counts as part of the “Stormchaser” item set

Contaminated - All
Counts as part of the “Blightmonger” item set

Tidal - All
Counts as part of the “Tides of Siren’s Sea” item set

Devoted - All
Counts as part of the “Redemption” item set

Imperious - All
Counts as part of the “Commander” item set



New Treasure Boxes: Reliquaries
New legendary lockboxes called Reliquaries can be found after completing Incursion events. Each contains a legendary piece of gear!

These sealed chests can be unlocked by completing rifts at certain lunacy levels which can be modified by spending Tears of the Mad.

When carried into a rift, Reliquaries provide special Blessings that can heavily modify weapons and abilities or provide additional fire support—there’s nothing quite like having an Ancient Warden on your side for a change.

With all the new legendaries added, we’ve increased the number a ship can equip by one.

Find out more about reliquaries in our recent Radiant & Reliquaries blog.

Lunacy 2000 Rifts
Elite pilots from the community have been clamoring for even greater challenges. The rift lunacy cap has been increased to 2000, allowing for even more madcap runs and we’ve also added new stage mutators and more boss variation. Make sure to bring Reliquaries for Blessings that will improve your chances of survival!



Scout Ultimate Change
The Scout’s Shadow Strike Ultimate has undergone a major change. While active, Shadowstrike cloaks your ship and greatly increases both critical hit chance and critical hit damage. Firing weapons or using devices breaks cloak, but killing an enemy restores it and extends its duration by 2 seconds, to a maximum of 20 seconds.

Read more about the change in our Ship Maintenance blog.

Improved Controller Support on PC and Consoles
Button mapping options have been our number one request from console pilots since EVERSPACE 2 debuted on PlayStation and Xbox last August. Incursions overhauls controller setting options to allow for full customization, close to what is available for PC players.

On PC, native PlayStation 4 Dualshock and PlayStation 5 DualSense support has been added for players on Steam, GOG, and the Microsoft Store.

Photo Mode Improvements
We are in absolute awe of the shots virtual photographers have taken of EVERSPACE 2, capturing the fantastic vistas and stunning spaceships in our game. Incursions adds community-suggested improvements to photo mode, mainly on the UI/UX front.

We’re surfacing more information for photographers by adding a progress bar for min/max values and navigation bar to see all changeable camera settings like FOV, aperture and exposure. Many smaller tweaks should make it easier for photographers using controllers.

Photographers will also be able to save their favorite settings and make them their default when opening the photo mode. Finally, we’re adding some SFX and VFX to the feature that’ll make it more fun to use.



New Cosmetic Ship Modules
A variety of stylish ship modules have been added for pilots to find and customize their ships with. In addition to new front and rear modules, a new cockpit type has been added.

Unreal Engine 5
A large part of the development team have spent the last few months migrating EVERSPACE 2 from Unreal Engine 4 to Unreal Engine 5.3, and we will be polishing right up to the last possible second before release. We’re aware that the community is concerned about introduced bugs and reduced performance—both have been our two main focuses during this massive endeavor and we are doing everything we can to ensure the best experience possible.

For pilots on high end PCs, EVERSPACE 2 will never have looked better. With UE5, we’re able to enable Lumen GI on DirectX 12, Nvidia DLSS 3.5 upscaler with Frame Generation, Nvidia Reflex latency reduction, AMD FSR 3.0, and Intel XeSS upscaler to really make the stars shine. All these new settings are togglable and completely optional.
