The developers of single-player spaceship shooter Everspace 2 are back with an exciting new announcement. Prepare for Wrath of the Ancients, an all-new expansion arriving later this year. Players are in for a sprawling post-game story, multiple star systems, extensive side quests, new player ship, and more.
“The Ancients have awakened! Their wrath has laid waste to human settlements in Cluster 34, and the path of destruction leads to the Okkar Homeworlds. Take flight in this massive expansion DLC as the Cluster readies for war once again in EVERSPACE 2: Wrath of the Ancients, coming Spring 2025 on Microsoft Store and Xbox.”
Attacks on Colonial settlements by weapons of the Ancients spark conflict in Cluster 34 once again. As these take place, a rising Okkar faction argues that if the Ancients reject Humankind, so should their people. With the uneasy peace threatened, Adam and crew will venture into the Okkar Homeworlds to discover the truth behind the threat before war reignites the DMZ.
In addition to Aethon, first teased in the last stream of 2024, players will be journeying to several of the stars of the Okkar civilization and visiting many new areas in orbit, deep space, and on planets. Lore lovers better get ready!
In addition to the main story, the expansion will also add a variety of new side quests that expand on the events of the base game. Those will appear not only in the new expansion systems, but also in the ones you’ve already visited before.
Finally, combat-focused fans will be able to take flight in the Okkar Wraith ship against a variety of challenging new enemies. This new ship sports a variety of powerful new abilities that reward players who put it all on the line in close combat.
