Rockfish Games’ brilliant rogue-lite space shooter Everspace has received an official release date for the Nintendo Switch. It will be out on December 11th as Everspace: Stellar Edition and will include the base title and the Encounters expansion. In addition to this, consumers will also receive an Everspace art book and the original soundtrack (which has +60 tracks).

The game and its expansion are also available for Xbox One, PS4, and PC. If you haven’t played it, the focus is on exploring the universe and upgrading your ship along the way. Random encounters, unique quests, different factions, and more will be available to experience.

Though you start from the beginning upon death, there is still long-term progression, with upgrades to go along with it. Players will have several ships to choose from, and can even decide what weapons and gear to start with. The Encounters expansion offers even more with the Okkar homeworld, new weapons like the flamethrower, and new quests to undertake.

Rockfish’s rogue-lite space sim Everspace is getting even bigger with the Encounters expansion. Releasing later this month for PC and on Xbox One in February 2018, Encounters brings quite a lot of new content to the table.

It introduces a new ship called the Colonial Sentinel, which is a medium class fighter with double the shield capacity of the base ship. You can also look forward to visiting the Okkar’s homeworld, encountering new characters, taking on new quests and battling new foes (total content will be somewhere around 10 hours). There’s some interesting new weapons to try out as well like the flamethrower, lightning gun and so on.

Probably the best new feature will be the factory space stations which can slightly repair and upgrade your ship in the middle of a run. You’ll also be able to convert resources. More details are still to be revealed but it looks like a nice quality of life change.

Everspace Encounters has yet to be priced so stay tuned for more information on the same.
