Chris InglisAs a long-time admirer of the vast and engaging universe of EVERSPACE 2, having reviewed the base game back in 2023, I was excited to read the news of the upcoming expansion, Wrath of the Ancients. The epic space looter shooter from ROCKFISH Games is gearing up for a significant DLC that promises to plunge players deeper into the mysteries and dangers of Cluster 34. I am super keen to jump back into the cockpit to prepare for the adventure ahead. The Wrath of the Ancients expansion is set to launch this Spring 2025 promising an exciting new chapter in the EVERSPACE universe. Following the events of the main game, this DLC will see players facing a new threat that has awakened and is wreaking havoc across the star systems.
Players can look forward to exploring four brand-new star systems, including the Okkar homeworlds and the previously inaccessible Aethon. These new environments will be packed with a heap of locations to discover, each brimming with secrets, side missions, and challenging encounters. In addition to expanding existing areas with new side quests, the expansion will introduce a host of new enemies and formidable bosses to test the skills of even the most experienced pilots. Prepare to face off against ancient threats and alien adversaries as you delve deeper into the lore of the EVERSPACE universe.
Adding to the excitement, Wrath of the Ancients will introduce a brand-new flyable ship class: the Wraith Okkar fighter. This unique vessel utilises rare technology that allows it to consume fragments of defeated enemies to activate special abilities. This high-risk, high-reward ship promises a dynamic and potentially devastating playstyle for skilled pilots. Furthermore, players can expect to discover a wealth of new weapons and gear to equip their ships, allowing for further customization and strategic combat options. The expansion will also introduce new upgradable Okkar equipment, offering even more ways to enhance your spacecraft and dominate the cosmos.
This expansion aims to provide a substantial and engaging experience for EVERSPACE 2 players promising a significant increase in playtime with a massive main story campaign and numerous side quests to undertake. Players can also anticipate an expanded soundtrack featuring new exploration, travel, and battle music to further immerse them in the vastness of space.
ROCKFISH Games has expressed their excitement for this new chapter. “Our community keeps asking when they can finally explore Aethon and the answer is soon! EVERSPACE 2: Wrath of the Ancients massively expands the universe of the EVERSPACE series, giving pilots more star systems to explore, more enemies to battle, and a new ship that changes the game. Players who want to discover more of Cluster 34 have a lot to look forward to,” said ROCKFISH Games CEO and co-founder Michael Schade. “Over the coming months, we’ll be sharing all kinds of reveals for Wrath of the Ancients on our social channels and streams. Stay tuned space pilots!“
For space combat enthusiasts and fans of EVERSPACE 2, Wrath of the Ancients is shaping up to be a must-have expansion. Keep an eye out for more reveals and details from ROCKFISH Games in the coming months as we approach the Spring 2025 release window. EVERSPACE 2 is available on PlayStation, Xbox, Steam, and GOG.
