Everspace 3 received €8 million from Germany
The development of the AA game Everspace 3 will take as long as the development of Everspace 2 — 6 years, according to Michael Schade, CEO of Rockfish Games (Hamburg game development studio with 30 people).
Everspace 3 is being developed on Unreal Engine 5. The studio plans to expand to 50 people by the end of the project development — by 2031.
€20 million — the total budget of the sequel. €8 million, the amount received from Germany Rockfish Games — the largest amount ever received from the German government by a game studio. Dorothea Bär, Minister of Education and Research of Germany, calls this amount a "milestone".
Rockfish Games has proven that it is worthy of investment — in 2024, the studio won an award thanks to the Everspace 2 simulator — "Best German Game."
