Private Division and Intercept Games have announced the sequel to Kerbal Space Program is heading to Early Access this February, along with a fresh look at development.
It’s been a little bit since we’ve heard any updates on Kerbal Space Program 2, but this morning brings a lengthy new developer video showing new gameplay and updates on the title, along with an Early Access release date: February 24, 2023.
Players will get a front-row seat to development during Early Access and become a part of an active development process contributing with feedback to make the best KSP sequel yet. At the Early Access launch, Kerbal Space Program 2 will feature:
Customizable parts and new space-flight technology: In Kerbal Space Program 2, the astoundingly inventive creations that KSP is known for will be taken to a whole new level. Players will have over 350 new and improved parts including engines, fuel tanks, procedural parts systems, and much more. The overhauled vehicle assembly interface includes part sorting and a blueprint view for making precise adjustments. And of course, new part coloring allows you to customize your creations like never before.
Improved onboarding: Kerbal Space Program 2 will create a whole new generation of spaceflight experts who will find themselves accidentally learning the fundamentals of rocket science. New animated tutorials, improved UI, and fully revamped assembly and flight interfaces allow both experienced and novice players to quickly put their creativity to the test without sacrificing any of the challenge from the original game.
New tools to optimize your exploration of the universe: Along with other massive new UI/UX improvements, you can now use time warp while accelerating and plan complex maneuvers with ease using the new non-impulsive maneuver planner. New sphere of influence, map iconography, and atmosphere indicators take the guesswork out of interplanetary maneuvering!
Rich new environments to explore: Unprecedented detail, variety, and realism make each celestial body a rewarding destination. Clouds, atmospheric scattering, and an all-new terrain system combine to take your breath away, from ground level all the way to orbit!
Will you be diving back into the Kerbal Space Program this February?
