In the sci-fi shooter Jump Ship, you control a spaceship with up to three friends and fight against space pirates.
What kind of game is this? Jump Ship is a first-person shooter set to be released in 2025. It takes place in a sci-fi setting and allows you to cooperatively pilot a spaceship with up to 4 players and complete various missions.
During the missions, you travel to different planets where you infiltrate enemy outposts and loot containers. In these, you can find technology that improves your spaceship. However, loot does not play as significant a role in the first gameplay videos as it does in games like Destiny.
While journeying through space, you can also be attacked by space pirates, against whom you must defend yourself to save your spaceship and your life.
Sea of Thieves in space
What makes Jump Ship special? In Jump Ship, the entire crew is involved in piloting and maintaining the spaceship. While your pilot steers the ship, you need to shoot at enemies and put out fires.
While putting out fires, you run around inside your spaceship or on its wing, combating the flames in a classic way with a fire extinguisher – let’s not talk about how realistic that is.
To board enemy ships more effectively during your spacewalks, you have access to a kind of jetpack that allows you to move in space even without a spaceship.
Overall, Jump Ship feels like a Sea of Thieves in space.
Experienced developers stand behind Jump Ship
Who is behind Jump Ship? Jump Ship is the first game from the Swedish development studio “Keepsake Games,” which was founded in 2021 in Stockholm by 5 gaming veterans, each with over 10 years of experience.
The team at Keepsake Games consists of former developers and founding members from Mojang (Minecraft) and Hazelight Studios (It Takes Two, A Way Out).
Meanwhile, Hazelight has also been busy and is releasing the next co-op hit Split Fiction in 2025. MeinMMO editor Karsten Scholz played the game with his wife, and his son is also thrilled: My 3-year-old son can’t get enough of a rainbow-farting pig in a current co-op hit on Steam
