It’s almost time to don your space suit and ascend to the stars as Space Crew, the sci-fi sequel to the sandbox hit Bomber Crew, will launch on 15th October worldwide.
Space Crew features the same compelling gameplay loop as its beloved predecessor with players controlling the moment-to-moment actions of their carefully selected, fully customisable crew. Their mission? To boldly go where no space crew has gone before and fight off an alien menace that threatens to eradicate humanity!

In Space Crew, we’ve expanded the ‘Bomber Crew’ formula into the final frontier, so players can send their customised ship and crew to boldly go and brave the many hazards of space combat. We were absolutely blown away by the response to our demo from fans earlier this year. We can't wait to put the full game into your hands so we can see what adventures you undertake.
Space Crew launches on Steam 15th October and will be priced at £17.99/ €19.99/ $19.99 USD.
It's time to trade in that bomber jacket and suit up for some snug red velour as the multi-million selling, critically acclaimed strategic simulation game Bomber Crew is getting a long-awaited sequel!
We’re delighted to announce Space Crew - the next instalment in the massively successful Crew series. In this brand-new entry, players are tasked with defending Earth against a mysterious new alien menace by carefully recruiting crew members, designing their own spaceship and venturing across the cosmos!
We had so much fun crafting Bomber Crew, we just couldn't wait to explore all the possibilities a far future setting would offer. Recruiting your crew for typical space sci-fi positions and then sending them out on missions into the perilous depths of space is an ideal theme for the 'Crew' series.
And the really great news is that fans of the original Bomber Crew and aspiring space adventurers won’t have long to wait to try it out for yourself. Space Crew has been selected by Valve to be part of the Steam Summer Games Festival, with everyone able to try out an early slice of the game for free from Wednesday 16th-22nd June.
Today we're releasing a patch that adds support for the following languages:
Japanese
Chinese (Simplified)
Korean
The patch also fixes some UI issues when playing the game in certain resolutions.
We also wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you to everyone who has played Bomber Crew, and also to those who have taken the time to send us feedback. As a two-person dev team, we don't always have the time to address everything, but we certainly read it all and appreciate it enormously.
The forums have become an absolute treasure trove of good ideas and advice, which we will be re-reading as we think about what we might do next!
The wait is finally over - you can now captain a crew of 9 in the most iconic American heavy bomber of WW2!
We'd like to thank everyone who added their voice to the requests for this on the forums, and for all your patience while we got it built!
Enjoy!

Here's what the DLC includes:
:missiontarget: A Brand New Iconic U.S. Bomber! Classic sleek lines! Shiny new liveries! Seven gun turrets! That enormous tail fin!
:missiontarget: Mustang Escort Fighters The Spitfires get a much deserved rest this time out, as new, gleaming ‘little friends’ come to your crew’s aid.
:missiontarget: 9-strong American Crews Choose from a never ending stream of brave American recruits, all from hometowns in the U.S. Captain an expanded crew of 9, to keep all those gun turrets manned!

:missiontarget: A New Campaign The North Africa campaign presents a substantial challenge, with danger coming from both air and sea!
:missiontarget: New Enemy Units You’ll encounter new enemy fighters, specific to the theatre of war, along with four new devious Aces. Expect to go up against the enemy’s Navy this time too!

It will be available via Steam on Tuesday the 23rd of October and is included in the Season Pass. Individual pricing is to be announced by the lovely folk at Curve Digital.
It took a little longer than we had initially imagined, mostly because as we developed the new bomber, we realised it deserved plenty more content to truly do it justice!
Here’s a quick overview of what it includes:

We feel all this was worth the wait and the additional work - thanks to everyone who requested the aircraft, and thanks for all your patience, the wait is almost over!
The latest patch for Bomber Crew is now available, which includes a brand new game mode and controller support, amongst other things!
Thanks again for playing and letting us know what you think- We hope you enjoy this latest update!

Here's all the features:
:missiontarget: New Challenge Game Mode! For a change of pace, jump straight into the action and survive wave after wave of intensifying challenges. Take a reusable crew, experiment with your loadouts and see how they fare on the global leaderboards!
The key to a highscore is to clear each wave objective quickly and grab those pickups! Collected by tagging and flying through them, pickups will level up your crew, refuel or repair your bomber, and restore your crew's health.
This new mode is great for a blast of aerial action when you're not quite ready to risk your campaign crew on that perilous next mission!
:missiontarget: Controller Support Sit back and play Bomber Crew at ease!
We recommend starting a new campaign game and playing through the tutorial missions so you can become comfortable with the controls before you play with your valuable crews. (We've added an extra save slot for this, in case yours are all full). Challenge mode is also a great way to get to grips with the new control scheme.
(The gamepad display in this gif is just for illustrative purposes :) )
:missiontarget: ‘Character Editor’ In addition to changing the names of your recruits and crew members, you can now customise their appearance!
:missiontarget: Game Save Preview Photos When choosing a saved game to load, you'll now see a natty group photo of your crews and their aircraft!
:missiontarget: Fast Forward Debrief Sequence Minimise the time you spend having your face rubbed in your crew's demise! Click the fast-forward button to speed through the debrief sequence.
We’ve been busy with our heads buried in several things - shipping the console versions of Bomber Crew, working on the upcoming dlc, and developing a bunch of new features and improvements for the Steam release.
We just wanted to give you a quick overview of what’s coming in the next update, which is currently going through QA, and will be available on the 10th of July.
Once again, thank you for all your feedback and support, it continues to be a source of invaluable encouragement for us.

We’ve be overwhelmed with the response to Bomber Crew since its release, and have had numerous requests for more playable content. We’ve both been working at full tilt to bring you something in time for the winter holidays, and here it is - the Secret Weapons DLC!
You’ll take your crew through the challenging missions of ‘Big Week’, striking at the enemy’s aircraft production facilities during a snow-swept midwinter. The enemy will strike back with their most experimental fighter aircraft - and the deadly ace pilots who have mastered them! You’ll also find a few goodies at the airbase, such as thermal flight suits, new base paint liveries, and some handy advanced upgrades to your bomber’s armaments.
Enjoyed the music in Bomber Crew? You can now grab the Official Soundtrack, which has been carefully re-mastered for the best listening experience.
The Bomber Crew Season Pass is now available! This offers all current and future DLC at a bargain price.
As it’s the season for giving, we also have a free update for everyone! Here’s what’s new:
‘New Bomber Upgrades: Ammo Feeds for all Turrets!’ This holiday season, give all your gunners the gift of unlimited ammo belts. Go on, you know it’s what they always wanted!
‘Slightly Quicker Tagging’ The time it takes for a marker to be tagged is now reduced slightly.
‘New Crew Gear: Festive Jumpers and Bobble Hats’ Very warm and moderately stylish clobber - get your crew in a festive mood!
‘New Bomber Upgrades: Seasonal Liveries’ Yes, that bomber is wearing a festive jumper.
‘Low Fuel Warning Indicator’ The fuel light in the bottom-left of the screen will now flash when you have only 25% of your fuel remaining.
‘Memorial Name Wall Extended’ Over 800 brave fallen crew can now be remembered.
We’ve also made numerous small improvements and fixes.
Once again, thanks for all your support, it continues to be wonderful! We’re going to have a short break over Christmas, then in the new year, crack on with bringing you more Bomber Crew updates!
If you celebrate it, Merry Christmas! If you don’t, Happy Holidays!
