From Space: Revival - Experimental Branch Live!

Attention, Specialists!

It’s been over two and a half years since our last patch, but we never stopped thinking about the From Space universe. To be completely candid with you: we weren't satisfied knowing you felt there were still rough edges holding the experience back.

So, we took a step back, did a deep dive into years of reviews and community feedback, and analyzed what made defending Earth fun (and what caused unnecessary frustration). We built this upcoming patch to eliminate those hurdles, rebalancing combat and polishing navigation so you can focus on turning pink trouble into pink rubble.

What We’ve Focused On

• Tougher Buddies: NPC companions now regenerate out of combat, restore fully at radios, and feature longer revive windows. Best of all, bringing buddies along no longer inflates enemy health or spawn rates and they’ll no longer stop shooting to wave at you mid-firefight!
• Navigation & Guidance: Finding your way just got easier, we processed a wave of navigation and UI improvements to keep you oriented and on track..
• Fairer Combat & Rebalanced Progression: We've added the very useful Revive Perk to the Story Mode drop pool (giving you another chance in case of a wipe-out). We’ve also added new save points near high-traffic outposts, increased carry speeds for delivery items, and unlocked a shield for the Sniper specialist at level 4 to balance out solo play.
• Resistance Mode Nice-to-haves: Added a long-requested "Random Level" option alongside a brand-new wave announcer voiceover with improved operational callouts.
• Audio & Exploration Polish: Combat music now triggers properly during actual heavy firefights instead of cutting in erratically, nesting area tracks shut off once cleared, and pistol shots feature sound variations so rapid firing doesn't sound like a broken record.

Test It Today on the Experimental Branch!

Rather than pushing these changes live everywhere immediately, we want to invite our most dedicated Specialists to test them with us first. Starting today, the Experimental branch is open on Steam to all owners of From Space .

How to Opt-In:

1. Right-click From Space in your Steam Library and select Properties.
2. Go to the Betas tab.
3. Under Beta Participation, select experimental from the drop-down menu.

Please drop your reports, balance thoughts, and feedback directly in our Discord .

Full Launch: October 29th

We'll be using the next four weeks to refine balance based on your testing in the Experimental branch. The update will officially launch for everyone on October 29th, alongside the full line-by-line patch notes!

Thank you for your continued support, Specialists. Continue to fight the good fight out there!
