Space shooter fans on Steam, GOG, and as of now GeForce NOW can now explore the first 25 hours of EVERSPACE™ 2 Early Access gameplay

Hamburg, Germany – January 22, 2021 – EVERSPACE 2 has launched in Steam Early Access and GOG Games in Development to critical and public acclaim. Being touted as “the new gold standard for space shooters”, EVERSPACE 2 was able to sit at the top of the worldwide steam top sellers for two days and now remains in the top ten global best sellers on Steam.

Check out the first 40 minutes of Gameplay here:

Official Everspace 2 Early Access Release Trailer

“EVERSPACE 2’s start in Early Access and GiD exceeded our wildest expectations. So far, we’ve received overwhelmingly positive feedback from fans and press all over the world,” said Michael Schade, CEO and co-founder of ROCKFISH Games. “After we started Early Access with more than 260,000 wishlist entries on Steam, we were very confident, however, we would never have dared to dream that we would land at number 1 in the worldwide Steam Charts in no time. After a few hours, we saw over 3,000 simultaneous players which is more than double the record of the lower-priced, original EVERSPACE in its first big sale. With currently 94% positive reviews, we seem to have hit the bull’s-eye with tens of thousands of space shooter fans. We are super grateful for tens of thousands daring space pilots pulling the trigger on an unusually high-priced Early Access game, which is a heart-warming reward for all the hard work, love and dedication our talented team poured into this initial release version, despite everyone working from home since March, last year. There’s a lot for EVERSPACE fans to look forward to as we work towards release in 2022. We plan to share our first roadmap within the next few days after we have browsed through all the community feedback on the initial release version of EVERSPACE 2.”

Coming in hot after the Early Access launch, ROCKFISH Games has announced that, as of now, the Steam version of EVERSPACE 2 is available on NVIDIA GeForce NOW, with the predecessor to follow soon.

“When EVERSPACE 2 was announced at Gamescom 2019, we were blown right away by its striking visuals and action-packed space combat,” said George Scotto, Developer Relations Account Manager EMEAI at NVIDIA. “The reveal sparked attention through our ranks, all the way to the top, and we are thrilled that EVERSPACE 2 has just been added to Geforce NOW, enabling space game enthusiasts to play the game smoothly with all the bells and whistles, even without having access to a high-end gaming PC.”

The eagerly anticipated space looter shooter was also awarded at yesterday’s German Developer Award 2020 in the “Most Wanted” category.

EVERSPACE 2 continues the story of Adam Roslin from the first part of the series. Starting with two sprawling star systems that can be freely explored by space pilots, players experience Adam’s emotional journey and personal development from an immortal clone space pilot to an individual of character whose death has final consequences. EVERSPACE 2 offers in the current Early Access version more than 25 hours of gameplay and already contains all core mechanics of the targeted final version.

EVERSPACE 2 can be purchased on Steam here and on GOG here. The full version for PC, including Mac and native Linux support, will be released at a reasonably increased price in the first half of 2022 and come with UI and text language support for German, French, Italian, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Polish, Russian, simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.

Starting January 22, three consecutive Arms Race mini-events give players an increased chance to gather a bounty of new gear

It’s Arms Race time, Vault Hunters! Enjoy three weeks of amped-up Borderlands® 3 mayhem with three consecutive week-long mini-events. That’s right, a new Arms Race mini-event each week starting January 22, making this the perfect time to jump into Borderlands 3’s newest gameplay experience.

Arms Race is a roguelike experience that’s fast-paced, challenging, and consistently remixed by randomised elements. You’re stripped of all your gear, passive abilities, and Actions Skills and dropped into a new zone where you’ll have to get loot or die trying. The action takes place throughout the Stormblind Complex: an expansive, decommissioned DAHL military base. As soon as you drop onto the island, you’re racing against the clock to grab the best gear you can find and get it to an extraction point before you’re obliterated by the encroaching storm.

If you hope to extract the very best Legendary loot that drops exclusively in Arms Race, you’ll need to gear up and face off against Heavyweight Harker, the final boss of the Stormblind Complex. You can resurrect fallen co-op allies at designated respawn points, but if no one’s around to revive you, your run is over and any loot you failed to extract is gone forever.

The upcoming mini-events are available to all players who own the Designer’s Cut* add-on or Season Pass 2*, which currently includes Designer’s Cut plus additional cosmetic content and will also include the all new Director’s Cut add-on upon its release this spring. Both Season Pass 2 and the Designer’s Cut add-on are now available for purchase across PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S:

• Week 1 – Clear Skies

Week one kicks off January 22 at 4AM AEDT with the Clear Skies mini-event, during which the encroaching storm will take longer to close in. That means you’ll be able to safely explore even more of the map in a single run. In addition, all enemy types are more likely drop rare gear when killed during this event, so be sure to take down every enemy in sight.

• Week 2 – Extra Extra Extraction

Incoming! With the Extra Extra Extraction mini-event starting January 29 at 4AM AEDT, Air Drops will have a greatly increased chance to drop DAHL Chests, creating more opportunities to score Arms Race-exclusive gear. Plus, extraction stations will offer additional slots, allowing you to extract even more gear out of Arms Race.

• Week 3 – Gear Rush

The third mini-event, Gear Rush, launches February 5 at 4AM AEDT. During the Gear Rush mini-event, Rare Chests are more likely to appear in Arms Race, and the Green DAHL chests located at major points of interest in the Stormblind Complex have an increased chance to contain Arms Race-exclusive gear. But make sure you don’t spend too long admiring the gear you find because the Murdercane will be closing in at a quicker pace.

And just a reminder: Borderlands 3’s next-gen upgrade is now available for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. All players who own or purchase both a copy of the game and a next-gen console will be able to download the upgrade within the same console family for free. Players who own a physical disc of Borderlands 3 will need the Xbox Series X or standard PlayStation 5 console model that includes a disc drive to take advantage of this feature.

Borderlands 3 is available now on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. For assets and additional information, please visit newsroom.2k.com or borderlands.com.

*Requires a copy of the base game to play.

SYDNEY – January 22, 2021 – In today’s Resident Evil™ Showcase digital program, Capcom unveiled key details about its highly anticipated survival horror title Resident Evil™ Village, the eighth main entry in the genre-defining Resident Evil franchise. Capcom confirmed Resident Evil Village will be available worldwide May 7, 2021 on PlayStation® 5, Xbox Series X|S and Steam, alongside the newly revealed PlayStation® 4 and Xbox One platform options. Resident Evil Village will be eligible to upgrade from PlayStation 4 to the digital PlayStation 5 version and will support Smart Delivery for Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One consoles. New details were also shared with the first extended gameplay footage showcase, along with the announcement of the multiplayer Resident Evil™ Re:Verse game to celebrate the franchise’s 25th anniversary. Starting today, pre-orders kick off and PlayStation 5 owners can get a sneak peek of the mysterious, beautiful Castle Dimitrescu in Resident Evil Village with the stand-alone Maiden demo.

Resident Evil Village continues the story of Ethan Winters, first set in motion in Resident Evil™ 7 biohazard. The latest entry combines pulse-pounding action with signature survival horror gameplay synonymous with the Resident Evil series. In today’s first extensive look at gameplay, the development team revealed several new details including some features which harken back to fan-favorite elements from previous Resident Evil games. Protagonist Ethan will now be able to purchase and sell items, buy recipes for crafting, and customize weapons with a merchant dubbed “The Duke.” Using materials found throughout the game, he will be able to craft invaluable consumables needed to survive the terrors of the village. Utilising these provisions will also involve more strategic planning, with a revised inventory system based on space management that may be familiar to series fans.

The diverse cast of enemies appearing in today’s digital program are just a few revealed from Resident Evil Villageso far. Ethan will face off against many threats such as fast-moving creatures that relentlessly stalk him and Lady Dimitrescu’s mysterious daughters who can transform into swarms of insects. The game’s disparate lineup of adversaries will have their own distinctive ways of attacking, so players will need to adapt their strategies with quick decisions on when to attack, guard or flee in order to survive. Ethan has a new kick move in his arsenal to create distance from enemies and buy precious time to decide his next move.

Starting today, PlayStation 5 owners can get an exclusive sneak peek of the castle area from Resident Evil Village with the Maiden demo. This stand-alone experience is separate, but showcases the stunning visuals and 3D Audio that await in the main game. As the Maiden, players will need to rely solely on their wits to make their escape in this tension-filled demo, as they’ll have no way to fight or defend themselves. A separate new demo for all platforms will be available later this spring.

In celebration of the Resident Evil franchise’s 25^th anniversary, which kicks off in March 2021, Capcom announced Resident Evil Village will include access to a free multiplayer experience titled Resident Evil Re:Verse coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S players can access the game through backwards compatibility. This thank you bonus to fans features striking comic-style visuals and sets popular Resident Evil characters against each other in four to six-player deathmatch battles in iconic Resident Evil locations. Players can choose from a fan-favorite roster, each with their own unique skillsets to master. When players are defeated in combat, their character respawns by mutating into a bioweapon to enact revenge on their foes. More information on Resident Evil Re:Verse will be shared at a later time.

The entirety of today’s Resident Evil Showcase is available on demand on the official Resident Evil YouTube channel.
