New Incursions Event and Revamped Rifts
Past a certain rift-related point in the EVERSPACE 2 story, beacons appear and unlock a new horde-mode style combat challenge. Pilots fend off incoming enemy ships to drain beacon shields and open up brief opportunities to strike. Defeating all the beacons in an area completes the Incursion and rewards players with a large loot drop including chances at new legendary gear and reliquary treasure chests. Here’s a quick look at an Incursion: [previewyoutube=ODmAPBJ6P-4;full]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODmAPBJ6P-4 [/previewyoutube] There’s plenty more coming in Incursions:New Legendaries and Reliquaries
We’ve shared a few of the new legendaries coming in the update, but you’ll have to wait until release for the rest. Fifteen new pieces of legendary gear are being added, get set to collect them all! If you missed it, Catch up on our Radiant and Reliquaries blog for more details.Scout Ultimate Change
As shared in our last update, the Scout’s Shadow Strike Ultimate is being overhauled. In Incursions, Scouts gain an ability that grants additional cloaking time for each kill while the ship’s Ultimate is active. This change turns a slow buildup sniper one-shot into an invisible powerhouse that can shred squadrons.Improved Controller Support on PC and Consoles
Many EVERSPACE 2 players love their controllers and we want to ensure they have the best experience possible. Incursions adds native PlayStation 4 Dualshock and PlayStation 5 DualSense support for PC players on Steam, GOG, and the Window Store. Console pilots will also soon have much-requested button mapping options similar to those available on PC.
