Cyberpunk 2077 has been delayed as soon as extra and with its new December launch, different studios with deliberate releases throughout that point are scrambling to make adjustments as to not compete with competitors of that measurement. Because of that new launch date, Everspace 2 is not releasing in December, as an alternative choosing a January 2021 launch as an alternative.
Rockfish Games took to its Kickstarter to “get the cyber elephant out of the room straight away” with the delay information. “The Cyberpunk 2077 launch has simply been pushed again to December 10, which is a serious blow to our deliberate EVERSPACE 2 Early Access launch in mid-December. Not solely will each media outlet and content material creator cowl the arguably most-anticipated AAA game in historical past all through all the vacation season (and never a lot else), we additionally know that there’s fairly a little bit of viewers overlap inside our group (and our crew), so…”
After a fast assembly with the studio’s PR crew, it was determined {that a} small delay can be higher than competing towards arguably the most important launch of 2020. Because of that, the Early Access interval for Everspace 2 will probably be going down in January as an alternative.
The studio is aware of that some followers will probably be upset with the small delay however within the larger image, going toe-to-toe with a title like Cyberpunk 2077 is daunting. Giving a month cushion between the 2 releases offers gamers an opportunity to dive into Night City totally, leaving sufficient time for the hype to drop again down and avid gamers to be open to different experiences.
For people who have backed Everspace 2 previous to Early Access, there will probably be a closed beta model obtainable on November 2 for the $30+ tier. At this time, we do not have a precise January date but, however extra will probably be revealed throughout a Twitch stream at 2 PM ET proper here.
