Introducing Jump Ship: A Co-op Adventure from Keepsake Games

For fans of co-op adventures, this year brings an exciting addition to the gaming library with Jump Ship, a new title from Keepsake Games. Many have already dubbed it “the space Sea of Thieves.” This game offers missions for a team of up to four players, where you will pilot a spaceship, participate in interstellar battles, and collect valuable resources to upgrade your vessel.

Unique Gameplay Experience

Unlike Rare’s pirate sandbox, Jump Ship does not feature a full-fledged open world and focuses exclusively on PvE content. The game is built on individual missions, during which you are teleported to a certain sector of space to complete tasks. However, within each location, you are free to decide how exactly to achieve your goals and in what order to deal with threats.

Tactile and Physical Gameplay

Hands-On Looting

One of the main appeals of Jump Ship is its tactile and physical gameplay. Many loot items, including scrap metal and ship modules, must be carried with both hands, making looting labor-intensive but rewarding. You literally have to drag valuable cargo between wrecked ships, using jetpacks and harpoons to navigate through outer space.

Ship Customization and Teamwork

A Mobile Base

The ship in Jump Ship is a real mobile base that can be upgraded and customized. During battles, one player controls the ship, while the others shoot the guns. When the ship is damaged, someone must run to repair the holes or put out the fires. Players also have to solve energy distribution puzzles by placing the various ship components (guns, engines, shields) on a special grid, where each element has a unique shape and requires a connection to a power source.

Ground Missions and Exploration

Asteroid Landings and Abandoned Stations

In addition to space battles, the game also features ground missions. For example, you will land on asteroids and explore abandoned stations, where you will have to fight hostile robots and collect resources to open storage facilities. However, it is the ship battles and teamwork on board that seem to be the most exciting moments of the game.

Upcoming Release

Jump Ship promises to be a thrilling experience for fans of cooperative gameplay. The release is scheduled for late 2025. The game can now be added to your Steam wishlist.

Expanding the Adventure

Future Updates and Content

Keepsake Games has hinted at future updates and additional content post-launch, ensuring that Jump Ship will continue to evolve and provide new challenges for players. This commitment to ongoing development and community engagement is set to make Jump Ship a staple in the co-op adventure genre.
