Coffee Stain Publishing and developer Keepsake Games announced they’re rebranding Jump Ship, their new co-op sci-fi first-person shooter, to Jump Space.
Jump Ship will be known as Jump Space when it launches via early access sometime this summer for Windows PC (via Steam) and Xbox Series X|S. A release date and trailer will be revealed at Gamescom 2025, too.
“We’ve decided to officially name our co-op space epic ‘Jump Space’, and we can’t wait to launch,” Daniel Kaplan, CEO of Keepsake Games in a press release. “We are excited to offer players a way to experience the ultimate space exploration fantasy as they board their very own ship and slingshot into space. As excitement around the game has been building exponentially, so too has our scope and ambition for what is possible for the future of the game — Jump Space better represents the expanse of this potential. We will have more news to share on Jump Space’s Early Access release date at this year’s gamescom!”
Here’s a rundown on the previously announced game:
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.
