Jump Space Blasts Off into Early Access This September
Keepsake Games has officially announced that their highly anticipated cooperative first-person shooter, Jump Space (previously known as Jump Ship), will enter Early Access on September 19. Players eager to embark on a thrilling space adventure with friends will be able to do so on PC via Steam and Xbox Series X/S.
Explore the Cosmos with Your Crew
Jump Space is designed for 1 to 4 players, placing them directly into the roles of a spaceship crew. The game promises a dynamic experience filled with randomly generated missions, expansive galaxy exploration, planet landings, and intense battles in the vacuum of space. A core mechanic allows players to seamlessly switch between piloting their vessel, exploring the surfaces of alien planets, and even venturing out into open space for dangerous extravehicular activities, where every misstep could prove fatal.
Teamwork is paramount in Jump Space. While there are no rigid class systems, the crew must constantly adapt and improvise. One moment you might be at the helm, navigating through asteroid fields, while another crew member rushes to repair a damaged system. The next, you could be part of a ground expedition, scavenging for resources or confronting threats on an unknown world.
A Journey Built with the Community
Keepsake Games has outlined several key features players can look forward to in Early Access:
- Procedurally Generated Missions: Ensuring each playthrough offers unique challenges and experiences.
- Ship Upgrades: Customize and enhance your spacecraft to better suit your playstyle and tackle tougher encounters.
- Dynamic Gameplay: Enjoy a fluid transition between piloting, combat, and exploration, creating a cohesive spacefaring adventure.
The developers are committed to building Jump Space alongside its community. They stated, "We want to develop the game together with you to create the best cooperative space crew action game. Community feedback will allow us to refine mechanics and design, and also determine which features to prioritize."
The Early Access period is expected to last approximately five months, though Keepsake Games acknowledges that community involvement might extend this duration to further polish the project. The full release will introduce even more missions, scenarios, and overall refinements. Players should also note that the price of Jump Space may increase as new content is added throughout its development.
Get ready to put your friendships to the test in the harsh cosmic environment when Jump Space launches into Early Access this September 19. It’s an exciting opportunity for players to help shape a promising new co-op space adventure.
