ROCKFISH Games released EVERSPACE 2: Galactic Edition for Nintendo Switch 2 on August 12, 2026, and joined a German game industry delegation that visited Japan around Tokyo Game Show 2026.
ROCKFISH Games spent August putting EVERSPACE 2 on new hardware. The Galactic Edition arrived for Nintendo Switch 2 on August 12, 2026 as a download-only title at 6,980 yen including tax. The package gathers the main game with three add-ons: EVERSPACE 2: Titans, EVERSPACE 2: Wrath of the Ancients, and the EVERSPACE 2 Supporter Pack. Engine Software handled the port, which runs the Unreal Engine 5-based systems at up to 45 fps and carries all 13 languages including Japanese. The same release is available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, and a final optimization and bug fix update for those platforms is scheduled for autumn 2026.
Two months later, ROCKFISH appeared in a different context. The studio was among 17 German game companies that visited Japan around Tokyo Game Show 2026 under a Japan market development project backed by Germany's Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy. At a pitch and networking reception at Akihabara UDX, a representative from Germany's Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space described subsidies covering up to 50 percent of game development costs, capped at 8 million euros per project, with more than 700 projects supported since 2019. A Canadian studio received 3.2 million euros toward an office in Munich.
The delegation's composition spans development, publishing, marketing, XR, and consulting, and includes Kalypso Media Group alongside ROCKFISH. From Japan's side, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's Cultural Creation Industry Division said the content industry is one of 17 government strategic fields, targeting 20 trillion yen in overseas sales by 2033, with games accounting for roughly 60 percent of overseas content sales. Public funding is part of the pitch when a Japanese publisher weighs where to expand in Europe.
