Greetings, pilots!

Not too long ago, we released EVERSPACE 2: Titans, our first story and gameplay DLC for our semi-open world, space shooter RPG. Since then, we’ve seen tens of thousands of pilots challenge the Dreadnought and explore Leviathans. Many pilots have been very vocal about their new favorite weapons (Inferno, Inferno, and more Inferno) and characters (hello to all you Maya stans). It’s been awesome to see so many happy space pilots out there!

When we introduced these two massive experiences, we also brought in a few little bugs. Today, we’re releasing update 1.3.43094, a patch containing more optimizations, tweaks, and bug fixes reported and requested by the community. Thank you to everyone who reached out to let us know if something was wrong, unbalanced, or particularly liked!
