Excitement is building as Keepsake Games unveils its latest venture, Jump Space, a first-person PvE co-op shooter launching in early access. Set for release on Friday, 19 September, the game is strategically priced at $19.99 in the US, with corresponding prices in other regions, making it accessible to a wide array of players eager to embark on a new space adventure.
The initial launch boasts a robust set of features designed to captivate players. Gamers will have access to nine diverse mission types and over 50 playable sectors, offering an expansive universe to explore. With two ships and a selection of eight different weapons, players can tailor their experience, facing off against a variety of 27 enemies that promise to test their strategic and combat skills.
An Evolving Universe
The journey begins with Chapter 1: The Resistance Coalition, setting the stage for a continually evolving narrative. Keepsake Games has put significant thought into the game's post-launch evolution, with a comprehensive roadmap ensuring players have plenty to look forward to.
Chapter 2, titled Atira Strikes Back, is poised to expand the game further. Scheduled to unfold through updates until Q1 2026, it will introduce several exciting new features: an Endless Mode for players seeking infinite challenges, a text chat functionality to enhance player communication, a new weapon, and crucial additions like offline support and a new ship. Moreover, players can expect an expanded storyline along with innovative gaming options such as sliding and a photo mode to capture their adventures.
The timeline also leads to Chapter 3, which promises to bring in a first-person pilot view, alongside another new weapon and the much-anticipated voice chat feature, although further specifics of this chapter are yet to be disclosed.
Knowing Keepsake Games' commitment to innovation and player engagement, further updates in the roadmap are likely to be met with enthusiasm from the gaming community.
The decision to set the launch price under $20 has been met with some surprise within gaming circles, as it appears to offer significant value despite its early access status. This pricing strategy signifies Keepsake Games' confidence that players will appreciate and invest in the evolving content and rich world of Jump Space.
