What is happening now
In Space is a minimalist arcade game released in 2015 for PC. Given the breadth of recent coverage tied to the "space" keyword, most news mentioning the game's title actually covers other titles entirely - from No Man's Sky's Cosmos update adding space station control and guild systems, to survival horror newcomer Laica set aboard a vessel, to various industry commentary on AI implementation in space-themed projects. The actual In Space title itself has not generated substantial recent coverage, leaving its current development status and community activity largely undocumented in available gaming press.
