Space Scavenger

Space Scavenger launched into Early Access on June 12, 2020 and reached its full 1.0 release on August 20, 2021. In the 1.0 launch post, developer Jonas explicitly stated: "Perhaps it is not expected that we will add new game modes or any other huge changes. We are happy where we are at with this, we feel it's a great complete diverse game!" This was a clear signal that the game had reached its intended final state. Following 1.0, one additional major content update shipped on November 22, 2021 — the Creative Mode Update, which added a free-build mode, two new weapon modules, and a new enemy. This appears to be the last substantial content addition to the game. On December 20, 2023, the developer announced Space Scavenger 2: Galactic Gauntlet, confirming that the studio's future efforts are directed toward the sequel rather than the original game. On October 7, 2025, a small patch (1.2) was released to fix a Unity security vulnerability. The developer noted they also included a weapon module that had been sitting finished for three years, and added a menu notification linking to the sequel. The post closes with "See you in the sequel!" — reinforcing that the original game is complete and the developer's focus has fully shifted to Space Scavenger 2. The game is a finished product. No further content has been announced, and the developer has consistently communicated — both at 1.0 launch and in the October 2025 patch — that the original game's development journey is over.
