Half a Million Players Conquer Jump Space Before Official Launch!
Anticipation mounts as Jump Space, a sci-fi shooter, gears for launch at a $20 price point with exciting future content planned.
What happens when the brains behind Mirror’s Edge and Wolfenstein: The New Order join forces? The answer: an intergalactic gaming spectacle attracting over 500,000 players even before its official release.
A New Star in Sci-Fi Gaming
Enter Jump Space, a co-op sci-fi shooter radiating the polish typical of seasoned developers. Announced earlier this year by Keepsake Games — a fresh indie studio brimming with industry veterans — the game promises to blend traditional shooter mechanics with mission-based progression, reminiscent of space dogfights seen in The Expanse. Starting at just $19.99 on Steam’s early access, it’s a cosmic adventure waiting to unfold on September 19.
Gameplay Mechanics Grasp the Universe
Players will dive into this universe as lone rangers or alongside three comrades in exhilarating four-player co-op. From ground skirmishes to aerial dogfights, Jump Space offers thrilling mission-based gameplay, where participants combat NPC warships and navigate the harsh cosmic and planetary terrains. It’s not just about combat; players must also maintain and upgrade their spaceships, echoing the essential survival mechanics of space.
Content Roadmap and Launch Price Unveiled
The game’s $20 entry point comes packed with a multitude of playgrounds — 9 mission types, 50+ levels, 4 unlockable galaxy regions, 2 ships, and an arsenal of 26 upgradable ship components and 8 weapons. This, coupled with a striking 93% positive rating from its demo, sets high expectations for the gamers.
Keepsake Games also teases with an adventurous roadmap: three chapters loaded with new features like endless mode, new weapons and ships, along with quality-of-life updates, signaling a galaxy far from dull. Chapter 3, intriguingly titled Secrets of the Telmari, promises expansions across weapons, bosses, voice chat, and even a first-person pilot view beginning after Q1 2026. According to Notebookcheck, these are milestones for Keepsake’s interstellar journey.
Ready the Command Bridge
Even gamers whose tech specs align with a humble Nvidia GTX 1070 can anticipate steering their virtual ships through Jump Space’s stunning universe. And as the countdown to its official lift-off continues, the excitement visibly brims among those poised for this interstellar odyssey.
Gather your crew, sharpen your reflexes, and brace for an immersive space adventure. The stars have aligned, and Jump Space is here to rechart the cosmos of sci-fi gaming.
