Everspace 2 is Getting its First Major Content Update on October 2

Developer Rockfish Games has announced the first major content update for space-based action game Everspace 2. The update, titled Armed and Dangerous, is slated for release on October 2 and will be free on PC and consoles.

The Armed and Dangerous update brings with it a host of new content to the game, including 10 new set items with 34 new item variants, 4 new catalysts, 40 new item attributes, the ability to reroll item attributes, a new Khala perk, and a new Tareen perk.

The update also brings with it new ship customisation options, including 15 new tier 4 wings, new ship colour randomisers, and a new ship module randomiser. The new content will be joined by a host of new quality of life improvements, like quicksaves and quickloads, Inertia Dampener customisation, and UI improvements.

Originally launched on PC, Everspace 2 made its way on to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S back in August. The game improves on its predecessor in a number of ways, eschewing the original’s roguelike structure to instead focus on a narrative with a large-scale open-world setting.
