Everspace 2 er blevet skubbet for ikke at skulle konkurrere imod Cyberpunk 2077

Selvom det rent logisk ville give mening at lade sit spil udkomme i en tidsramme hvor der ikke er stor konkurrence, så lader det til at udgivere har det med at klumpe lanceringer på store spil sammen i klynger. Det ønsker Rockfish Games dog ikke skal ske med den forestående lancering af Everspace 2, så de skubber nu spillets Early Access-lancering, så de ikke skal konkurrere imod spil som Cyberpunk 2077 i foråret.

I en opdatering på udviklerens hjemmeside fortæller de at nu skubber lanceringen til december, og de nævner specifikt store titler som Cyberpunk 2077 og Outriders som grunden til dette ryk.

"Some AAA blockbuster titles will hit our initial Steam Early Access release date. The hotly-anticipated open-world sci-fi shooter RPG Cyberpunk 2077 was recently pushed back to September, plus the brand new sci-fi looter shooter RPG Outriders from Square Enix has just been announced to release the same month, too. Obviously, there is quite an overlap between those audiences and ours, so we have decided it wouldn't be wise to directly compete against two sci-fi shooter RPG juggernauts, leaving not much room for any other sci-fi shooter coming out at the same time. Considering all those new challenges, we had to make a tough decision about postponing the EVERSPACE 2 launch on Steam Early Access, now aiming for early December this year."
