For the equipment grade, see Equipment (ES2).

The Everspace 2 Prototype (v0.1.6568) was released December 17, 2019 and was given to kickstarter backers of the €40 tier "Standard Edition" or higher. A snapshot of the game's development state of August 2019, it was used as a demo at various gaming conventions and had relatively little content or locations and was unpolished, so that Rockfish Games could continue working on the main branch of the game while giving backers and convention goers a taste of what was to come.

Content Summary

The prototype had four locations in the Ceto system with various minigames, encounters, and trading stations. These locations were handpicked bits and pieces of development and were very different from any real locations in the current Ceto system. It also had some legendary equipment available.

Updates

The prototype had a minor update on July 30th, 2020 to add some graphical options and settings fixes.

It was eventually taken down in early 2021 as it was outdated. Instead, a new up-to-date demo was released with v0.6.20667 that would stay current with the live versions of the game.

EVERSPACE 2 Demo Patch 0.1.11400

[[File:]] Hey there, test pilots! Today, we're happy to release a small update for the EVERSPACE 2 prototype/demo with a few settings that have been in high demand. These are already present in the Alpha version of EVERSPACE 2, and although we had not planned on updating the prototype/demo at all, we figured that these would be relatively easy to retroactively add, as they do not affect the game code too much. Just don't expect any further updates - as you can imagine we're very busy working on the Beta and Early Access release. Please see the complete list of changes below. New Features Added option to disable motion blur Added option to disable chromatic aberration Added gamma slider Fixes Fixed invert pitch not working for mouse controls Fixed invert yaw not working for mouse controls Have fun!
