What Escape Velocity is
Escape Velocity is an unreleased indie game in development at Rats with Wings, currently scheduled for 31 December 2026. It is available on PC (Microsoft Windows) only. It runs on Unreal Engine 5.
The premise, in the publisher's words
The planet of Aculeata, where you and all your alien ant friends live, is being bombed and it might be your company's fault. Scratch that, it's definitely your company's fault. More specifically, your CEO Rojar's fault. While your co-workers flee, you, Gerund, brave the crumbling facility to rescue Rojar after he, for once, asks for help. You don't make it in time to save him, but he leaves you a gift: the Starter, an experimental blasting tool that is critical for making your way out of the now-ruined facility.
How it plays
It is played from a first person perspective. Its themes are action, comedy and science fiction. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for 4 GB RAM. At 4GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Install size is roughly 1GB.
