It's been almost two months since We Are Screwed! launched into Early Access, and we know you are eager to discover what's next! The crew gathered in the Terra Space Station and created a roadmap, which we are excited to share today. Take a look below!
The game has already been updated with one major update and several smaller patches to fix and balance the game based on the community's feedback, and we will continue to do so. We are very thankful for any kind of feedback and bug reports posted in the comment section, forum posts, reviews, and on social media! We look forward to improving the game based on your feedback and bringing you the next We Are Screwed! update!
PLAYING WITH FRIENDS REMOTELY
Inviting a Space Cadet from another universe can be quite a journey, but it shouldn't be difficult! We reworked the menu to give you a better explanation of how to invite your friends through Steam Remote Play and Parsec.
That's all for today, Space Cadets!

The First Update is LIVE
Suit up, Space Cadets! The first update of We Are Screwed! just launched and we have packed a bunch of other out-of-this-world announcements! Put your Extravehicular Visor Assembly on and let's take a closer look..
F[reakingly] Big Space Gun
Charge up a big plasma ball with the F-BSG turret that once fired, will zap nearby enemies for significant amounts of damage! The key to operating the F-BSG Module is to shoot the plasma ball close to the enemies while also avoiding hitting them.
Mine Launcher
The Mine Launcher launches up to 5 mines into space, that work exactly like the regular mines. Using the Mine Launcher, you can create minefields and traps for enemies or use them for chaining up an explosive surprise. Be sure to keep your distance though, these mines can hit your spaceship with a mighty blast!
Enemy Groups
Some enemies prefer hanging out in groups with a bigger, faster, and tankier Leader in their midst! These groups will be randomly generated depending on the level and have a possibility to be marked. Taking out every single enemy of a marked group will reward you with awesome equipment!
Hands Off Turret
This turret reflects enemy projectiles back towards them: You basically shoot them with their own bullets! PS: It can also be used to push enemies away a bit. Into a pit. In space.
That's not all!
Verified on Steam Deck!
We're over the moon to announce that We Are Screwed! is now Verified on the Steam Deck! Check it out and let us know how it runs!
And to make this update even more stellar..
First Update (and a little bit of Easter) Sale!
We Are Screwed! is now officially 15% off until Sunday, April 9th! If you're up for the challenge of going on an intergalactic adventure alone or with fellow crewmates, now is the best time.
