Greetings, Pilots!

Today, we announce EVERSPACE 2: Wrath of the Ancients, a massive expansion that adds a sprawling post-game story, multiple star systems, extensive side quests, new player ship, and more. Before diving into what’s to come, check out our announcement trailer.

Attacks on Colonial settlements by weapons of the Ancients spark conflict in Cluster 34 once again. As these take place, a rising Okkar faction argues that if the Ancients reject Humankind, so should their people. With the uneasy peace threatened, Adam and crew will venture into the Okkar Homeworlds to discover the truth behind the threat before war reignites the DMZ.

We chose Tareen, voiced by the amazing June Yoon, as the character to voice this announcement trailer as Wrath of the Ancients explores the story of the Okkar and the aftermath of the war that tore Cluster 34 apart. Throughout their history, the Okkar have been closely tied to the Ancients—a species Ancients lifted to the stars, who now live among the ruins of those who came before. The story ahead will answer many questions and possibly create new ones for the future.

In our last stream of 2024, we teased Aethon, a star system many of you space pilots have been asking to visit. This system is filled with time-ravaged wrecks, shattered Colonial weapons, and leftover remnants from the war, a perfect place for an enterprising scavenger to explore. The team is busy packing new locations full of secrets, new puzzle types, and rewards for inquisitive players.

Aethon is only a small part of EVERSPACE 2: Wrath of the Ancients. We’ll be journeying to several of the stars of the Okkar civilization and visiting many new areas in orbit, deep space, and on planets. All you lore hounds should get ready, as our writing team has been creating very cool storylines that explore these alien regions of space. Pilots will have much to discover between these new locations and expanded existing star systems.



In addition to the new post-game storyline, pilots can seek out new side quests that build on events of the base game. These will be spread not only in new systems, but also in ones you’ve visited already. Many stories are left to be told in the DMZ—adventures for the brave and fearsome enemies who remain in the shadows. There’s a hint to one somewhere in this blog. Let’s see if any of you guess what it is.

For our more combat-focused fans, soon you’ll be able to take flight in the Okkar Wraith ship against a variety of challenging new enemies. This new ship sports a variety of powerful new abilities that reward players who put it all on the line in close combat. You’ll be able to power up any ship you choose to fly with new weapons and gear, including a new upgradable Okkar equipment type, which we’ll share more about in future blog posts.



EVERSPACE 2: Wrath of the Ancients comes to Steam, GOG, Xbox, and PlayStation this summer. We’ll have more to share about the new star systems, enemies, gear, and characters here and on our social channels in the months ahead. Make sure to follow us on YouTube, Facebook, Bluesky, Tik Tok, X, and Instagram for sneak peeks. Stay tuned!

Soon™, the Ancients will awaken!
