Coffee Stain Publishing and developer Keepsake Games announced a release window for Jump Ship, their new co-op sci-fi first-person shooter.

Jump Ship is launching in early access sometime this summer for Windows PC (via Steam) and Xbox Series. A closed beta is planned and sign-ups are available.

“Our goal was to create a game that balances the fun and immersion of space exploration.” says Daniel Kaplan, CEO of Keepsake Games. “Coming from Hazelight, Mojang and Coffee Stain, we understand how to make a great co-op game, and we’ve reached a point where player input is vital in order for us to make Jump Ship as good as it can be. That’s why we’re releasing into Early Access this summer – to work directly with our players, listen to their feedback, and combine it with our vision.”

Here’s a rundown on the game, plus a new trailer and gameplay:

Jump Ship is a mission based co-op FPS in which players can transition seamlessly from crewing their very own space ship to on-foot exploration and space walks. The goal of each mission is to survive with the crew’s ship intact and make the next jump, picking up valuable resources, blueprints and weapons along the way. While one crewmate is piloting the ship, another might be putting out fires or fixing radiation leaks on the deck, while the rest of the group boards enemy vessels or battle through volatile space stations to make off with precious supplies.

In Jump Ship, the galaxy is filled with handcrafted celestial settings, from vast asteroid rings dominating the horizon to distant, luminescent nebulas radiating kaleidoscopic light. The scenery changes with each jump, as players go from boarding and pillaging a rival corvette-class ship to salvaging shipwrecks floating in vacuum or exploring an abandoned research facility.

However, deep space hides many other, more celestial threats, as solar flares and meteor showers regularly threaten to end players’ spacefaring journeys in an instant.
