The much-anticipated release of Jump Space by Keepsake Games invites players into a dynamic universe of cooperative gameplay, launching today in Early Access on Steam. Formerly known as 'Jump Ship', this game merges frantic combat with strategic exploration, providing a fresh twist on the co-op shooter genre.
In Jump Space, up to four players take the helm of a versatile spaceship, charting courses across galaxies and diving into missions set on planets, asteroids, and space stations. Whether embarking solo or with friends, players face thrilling encounters: battling hostile forces, collecting crucial gear and resources, and racing against the clock to return to their spacecraft for exfiltration.
Jump Space captivates with its seamless blend of gameplay elements reminiscent of Helldivers 2 and No Man's Sky. The absence of fixed character classes allows players fluidity in roles, from managing ship systems to engaging in intense planetary combat and even space-walking.
Community Engagement and Early Success
The game's demo at Steam Next Fest drew over 530,000 eager players, signaling robust interest in its cooperative features. Available now for $19.99 or £16.75, the Early Access launch aims to cultivate a community keen on contributing to its evolving universe.
Keepsake Games has committed to ongoing development, as highlighted by its first major update, "Atira Strikes Back." This update is set to expand the game's horizons with an enticing array of new features: an endless mode, additional sectors and missions brimming with rich stories, diverse enemy types, and new gameplay mechanics like melee weapons and sliding. Vendors will populate hangars, enhancing player interaction and strategy as they prepare for upcoming challenges.
With Jump Space positioning itself at the cutting edge of interactive storytelling and cooperative gameplay, Keepsake extends an open invitation for player feedback. This collaborative approach ensures that the game evolves in alignment with community desires, marking merely the beginning of a long and exciting journey through its cosmic landscape.
