The Future: Everspace 3 Is Coming

ROCKFISH Games has publicly confirmed that its next project is a new installment in the Everspace saga — Everspace 3 . Key facts:

• Budget and funding: The studio received a €8 million grant from the German government, the largest ever given to a German game developer from that fund, paid out over five years . CEO Michael Schade told GamesIndustry the grant covers just under half of the total production budget, which the studio plans to be approximately €20 million .
• Engine and timeline: Everspace 3 is being built on Unreal Engine 5 and is expected to take roughly 6 years to develop, similar to Everspace 2's development cycle . The studio, currently around 30 people, plans to expand to roughly 50 by the end of the project .
• Final Everspace 2 update: Schade also mentioned that Everspace 2 fans on other platforms can expect a final optimization and polish update, suggesting the studio is winding down active content development for Everspace 2 and shifting focus to the sequel .
