Evaluation
Space Raiders in Space launched on December 8, 2020 and received one paid expansion: the Hatred Expansion, which released on March 23, 2021. This added a crossover character from Destructive Creations' game Hatred and represented the only major post-launch content addition to the game. All DLC listed on the store has been released.
After the Hatred Expansion shipped, developer activity on this game effectively stopped. The news posts from 2021 onward are either announcements for entirely different games (War Mongrels, Smells Like a Mushroom, 63 Days) or a general 10th anniversary celebration post from the publisher Destructive Creations. None of these mention any upcoming content for Space Raiders in Space.
There are no unreleased DLC entries, no developer statements promising additional content, and no post-Hatred Expansion major updates. The game shipped one paid expansion roughly three months after launch, and nothing has followed in the years since. The studio's public communications since 2021 have been focused entirely on other titles. This is consistent with the game having reached its final content state with the Hatred Expansion in March 2021.
Evidence
Hatred Expansion released on March 23, 2021 — the only major post-launch content addition to the game. All DLC is now released.
Developer announced the Hatred Mode expansion arriving the following day, featuring a crossover character. This was the last game-specific content announcement.

About this game
Space Raiders in Space is a wave defense roguelike based around 5 orders: Attack, Defend, Cower, Search, and Build. Command your almost competent crew to loot weapons and supplies, build defenses, and fight their way through the Bugpocalypse.
Construct Defenses
- Have your raiders scavenge materials from their surroundings and use them to design and build elaborate fortifications, hopefully keeping your crew a safe distance from the bugs' sharp and stabby parts. With over a dozen defensives, there are many build strategies to explore.Manage your crew
- Your crew is armed with enthusiasm and a bunch of weapons (assuming you have been looting), but not much intelligence. Issue commands to individuals or the group as a whole, then hope they know how to follow instructions. It's up to you to tell them when to search, what to build, how to fight, and more. Or else they'll all die horribly violent deaths, Probably that second thing.Key Features:
- Simplicty with Depth - The orders you can give are simple - the strategies you can achieve with them are surprisingly complex.
- Challenging Maps - As you loot your way through the galaxy, the different locations you explore will present unique tactical challenges for you to conquer via clever use of weapons, fortifications, and orders.
- Unique weapons - Penetrating Crossbows, Slashing Swords, Armour-piercing Snipers, Crushing Hammers, and many more weapon categories, each with multiple tiers and rarities.
- Super Time Stop Powers - Pause the game mid-combat to evaluate your strategy and give orders. It will help, but sometimes the bugs are just too much.
- Tough Decisions - comic book encounters at the start of each location will test your sanity. We recommend you don't look over the edge of the abyss.
- Danger Everywhere - Your crew are strong but can be quite fragile. Be careful not to let the bugs too close to them, or you may lose one. If they get knocked down too often, they won't stand back up!
- Leaderboard! - reach the top 5 ranks on the leaderboard and be memorialized on the main menu for all to see!
