Remember Bomber Crew from Curve Digital? Well, the team are coming together for another adventure – it’s just this time they’ll be blasting off into a new era of intergalactic exploration and adventure in Space Crew. 

Bomber Crew was released by the teams at Curve Digital and Runner Duck on console back in July 2018, allowing players the opportunity to embark on a colourful yet intense WW2 sim experience in the process, taking in bombing runs and micromanaging your crew as you went. Today though it’s all about to get a bit trickier, as the squadron get back together and blast off towards the stars with the announcement of Space Crew on Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch and PC. 

Should you be happy to take in your gaming sessions on PC then come the 16th June, PC players will be able to take in an exclusive Steam demo of Space Crew, but otherwise, you’ll be looking at September 2020 for launch. 

With the  multi-million selling, critically acclaimed strategic simulation Bomber Crew as just the start of proceedings, Space Crew, will see players tasked with defending Earth against a mysterious new alien menace. In order to do so you’ll need to carefully recruit crew members, design your own spaceship and venture out across the cosmos.

“We at Runner Duck have always been huge fans of sci-fi movies like Alien, Star Trek, Interstellar, and Star Wars,” said Runner Duck co-founder Dave Wingrove. “We had so much fun crafting Bomber Crew, we just couldn’t wait to explore all the possibilities a far future setting would offer. Recruiting your crew for typical space sci-fi positions and then sending them out on missions into the perilous depths of space is an ideal theme for the ‘Crew’ series.”

As you would expect to hear, Space Crew will feature the same compelling gameplay loop as its predecessor. This means that players will be found controlling the actions of their crew from one moment to the next, working in the minutiae of navigation, scanning and combat. The new space setting should however allow much more in terms of player freedom and campaign unpredictability, with greater mission variety and a deeper take on the usual strategic gameplay. 

In Space Crew you will have to be more alert than ever, as you are challenged with venturing through space and attempting to protect your vulnerable crew from alien boardings, getting sucked out into space, running out of oxygen, system failures, ship fires and whatever else the campaign AI can throw at you.  

If you liked what Bomber Crew was able to provide, then we’re pretty sure that Space Crew will once more tick all the boxes. We’ll be sure to keep you up-to-date with development, but should all go to plan, come this September you’ll be able to get the chance to blast off to space with Space Crew on Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch and PC.

An Xbox gamer since 2002, I bought the big black box just to play Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee. I have since loved every second of the 360's life and am now just as obsessed with the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S - mostly with the brilliant indie scene that has come to the fore.
