Rockfish Launches Final Everspace 2 Expansion and Emphasises Importance of Federal Funding
Hamburg-based Rockfish Games is bringing the Everspace 2 saga to a close with the second DLC, Wrath of the Ancients. At the same time, CEO and co-founder Michael Schade emphasised the importance of federal funding for games for independent companies like Rockfish and for the entire German games industry.
Rockfish Games has released the second expansion for the space looter-shooter RPG Everspace 2, titled Wrath of the Ancients, on PC and consoles. This concludes this chapter of the Everspace 2 series. "From beginning to end, Everspace 2 has been a project nearly seven and a half years in development—this time has been filled with exciting announcements, growing a fantastic community, and time spent with an amazing team. This expansion embodies all the expertise gained, lessons learned, and many of the exciting ideas developed during this time," said Rockfish Games CEO and Co-Founder, Michael Schade. "I am both happy and sad to say Wrath of the Ancients is our final expansion for Everspace 2 as we set our sights on the horizons of a new project. From our initial Kickstarter, to our win at the Deutscher Computerspielpreis for Best German Game, to this release of Wrath of the Ancients, I couldn't be prouder of the team and the work we’ve done. Everyone here at the studio is excited for the future, and I can't wait to share what's to come."
