EVERSPACE 2's First Content Update Includes a Little Bit of Everything

The first major content update for ROCKFISH Games' Early Access space sim RPG EVERSPACE 2 is set to release through Steam and GOG on the 28th April. Rather than focus on majorly expanding any one aspect of the game, the update, known as "Union: Contracts/Hinterland", instead sprinkles over a little bit of everything, from ships to missions, enemies to loot and beyond. Read on for an overview of what'll be coming when the update lands later this month.

• New Ship - A Heavy-class Bomber. This behemoth of a ship regenerates shields by causing damage and allows for secondary weapons to use energy instead of ammo. Oh, and it's packing the all-new, devastating ARC-9000 Ultimate ability, which launches a ball of sheer destruction.
• New Missions - Three main missions and three side missions featuring all-new characters, enemies and scenarios.
• New Companion - Fan-favourite Elek, rescued during one of the update's main missions, will be a new addition to the companion roster. You'll be able to upgrade his perk tree and call upon him to aid you in combat.
• Boss Fight - The game's second boss encounter will see players facing off against The Ancient Warden from the first EVERSPACE.
• New Sub-Faction - An Outlaw sub-faction known as Bloodstar, complete with new combat capabilities and faction-exclusive gear to loot.
• More Mission Types - More puzzle and pursuit missions have been added as side-diversions.
• Game Balancing - The level cap has been raised slightly, and the game has seen an overall rebalancing.

The "Union: Contracts/Hinterland" update for EVERSPACE 2 launches on the 28th April on Steam Early Access and GOG's Games in Development program.
