Prepare for close encounters-a-plenty as would-be space captains will have to recruit their crew, customize their ship and carefully select missions across the cosmos with the goal of not only learning about this new menace but also optimizing their vessel to be the fastest, most combat-ready, hunk of junk in the galaxy with the sturdiest of crews to match! Missions don’t pull any punches with players having to protect their vulnerable fleshy crew from alien boardings, falling oxygen levels, system failures, power fluctuations, fires and whatever else the campaign throws at them. Space Crew expands on the beloved crew management gameplay formula of Bomber Crew and pushes it towards the next generation with players (hopefully) rising to the challenge of defending Earth against a mysterious alien threat known as the ‘Phasmids’. To celebrate this event Curve Digital and Runner Duck have released a new ‘What is Space Crew?’ overview trailer which details almost everything aspiring space captains will have to contend with when the game launches on October 15th worldwide! The footage details the ins and outs of space exploration, ship customization, crew progression and many other game features. Check out the PC games at the PlayStation 5 show, everything at the PC Gaming Show, and all the trailers from the Xbox showcase, for starters.Curve Digital and Runner Duck, the makers of the hit title Bomber Crew, have announced that the sci-fi strategy sequel ‘Space Crew’ will be available to pre-order on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch ahead of its October 15th release. Whatever you call it, hit our E3 2020 tag for more from this summer's blast of gaming announcements, trailers, and miscellaneous marketing. The full game is aiming for a September release date. Space Crew is up on Steam now for wishlisting and there will be a demo released on June 16th as part of the Steam summer festival. He enjoyed himself, even if he was terrible at it. If you want a better sense of what to expect, have a read of Adam's (RPS in peace) Bomber Crew feature from back in 2017. I'm not talking about upgrading weapons, but the ability to give your ship a silly name and name everyone onboard after your real friends.

It has you zooming across the galaxy to defend humankind, which sounds exciting, but the real appeal is in the ways you can customise your crew and ship. Bomber Crew was a charming surprise though, so I'm quietly optimistic about this sequel. Oh, I do hate self-aware trailer voice overs.
