Greetings, Pilots!
Big news! EVERSPACE 2: Titans is now live on all platforms, so it’s time to pick up your copy today! While it downloads, read on to check out our launch trailer and find out what’s included in today’s EVERSPACE 2 patch.
If you missed our big announcement at Gamescom, Titans is our first story and gameplay DLC for EVERSPACE 2. This expansion adds two new questlines that take place mid-game, but don’t worry; this isn’t missable content—pilots with late-game saves can simply load EVERSPACE 2 and be able to enjoy the new quests scaled to their level.
The new adventures surrounding the fearsome Dreadnought and mysterious Leviathan bring new gear alongside repeatable experiences unlocked by completing each story.
EVERSPACE 2 pilots have seen the bones of these ancient creatures planet-side and in deep orbit. Now, they must chase down the rumors of a living leviathan. The Redeemers have plans for these creatures—pilot deep inside leviathans to battle new biological and mechanical enemies as you work to save these gargantuan beasts. No two adventures within will be the same! Discover parasites, traps, puzzles, and new resources while exploring a leviathan’s procedurally generated insides.
The scars of the Okkar-Colonial War run deep in Cluster 34. The Dreadnought Minokawa was hijacked while enroute for decommissioning—a warship this mighty can turn the tides of power towards whoever holds it. Track and defeat this titanic threat, but be prepared for the biggest battles in the EVERSPACE series so far. Test your skills and ship loadout in gigantic, multi-stage boss fights designed to push pilots to their limits.
Players of the first EVERSPACE will see a number of fan favorite weapons return to the series in this DLC including Cluster Mines, Plasma Thrower, and the Goo Gun. Titans also adds a variety of new gear, item sets, consumables, and catalysts, as well as many blueprints to find and craft.
If you missed our earlier blog, check out a quick look at some of the new items you’ll find in EVERSPACE 2: Titans.
We’ve also released an update filled with tweaks and fixes for a number of issues including Maddocks' freighter durability in “Smoke & Mirrors” and optimization. AMD fans can enjoy the latest scaling technology with FSR 3.1.0 enabled.
