Rockfish Games has announced that it's dropping the price of its upcoming DLC expansion for Everspace 2 ahead of its May 12 release due to "events happening in the world."
The expansion, Wrath of the Ancients, was originally going to cost $30. However, Rockfish Games reduced the price to $25. The studio also recently reduced the price of Everspace 2's first expansion, Titans, from $15 to $12.
Rockfish Games clarified that even though the price for Wrath of the Ancients has been lowered, no content has been cut from it. It contains new stories, side quests, enemies, and a new playable Wraith ship.
"As an independent studio, we are lucky to be in a position to be able to do this based on the support of an amazing community," Rockfish Games said in a Steam blog post. "If you were genuinely looking forward to giving us that little bit extra, thank you! We will have a new artbook and soundtrack gathering together content from our DLCs available when Wrath of the Ancients launches that you can put that money towards instead."
The studio didn't specify "events happening in the world," but acknowledged the rising costs of everything and feelings of uncertainty. PS5 console and PS Plus prices have increased, and certain games like Mario Kart World are now $80. It's also possible that Rockfish Games is referring to the Trump tariffs that are impacting the video game industry.
Everspace 2 is an open-world space shooter that follows Adam, a clone pilot who aims to escape the Demilitarized Zone of Cluster 34. It features a robust single-player campaign, plenty of side missions, loot, and additional challenges to partake it in. Everspace 2 is available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
