Focus Home Interactive have revealed Blackbird Interactive’s Hardspace: Shipbreaker, and announced that the game will be heading to Steam Early Access.
The sandbox game sees players take up the life of a “shipbreaker”, salvaging old spaceships in incredibly dangerous work. While the player is brought back to life when they die, this only increases the debt they are trying to repay.
On the game’s Steam announcement, Hardspace: Shipbreaker is described as having “true-to-life physics and demolition effects.” The Early Access version of the game will include “2 classes of spaceship to salvage, multiple upgradeable salvaging tools and perks, and the first act of the story campaign.”
Future planned updates include more spaceship classes, missions, daily challenges, leaderboards, modding support, and more. You can find the announcement trailer below:
In addition, the first gameplay reveal stream will happen on February 20th on Twitch (at 8:00 PST, 11:00 EST, 16:00 GMT, and 17:00 CET).
