Kerbal Space Program 2 features nearly limitless
possibilities when it comes to vehicular construction. The sequel
offers over 350 original and improved parts, including procedural
wings, new command pods, engines, wheels, cargo parts, and the
first of many advanced fuel types: liquid hydrogen. The game also
now features a new parts size category, paving the way for upcoming
interstellar-class parts as the game expands. Players can also use
the new part coloring tool to customize their creations and truly
make them their own.
“We’re very excited to release Kerbal Space Program 2 in
Early Access,” said Nate Simpson, Creative Director at Intercept
Games. “Having built a game of such unprecedented technical
complexity, we can’t wait to see what new feats of creativity our
community will finally achieve. We’re looking forward to hearing
their direct feedback as we move into the collaborative phase of
the game’s development during Early Access."
The highly-anticipated sequel welcomes a brand-new generation of
space explorers with interactive, animated tutorials that teach the
basics of rocketry in an immersive and entertaining way. Players
can also expect many other improvements, including a completely
redesigned UI, more user-friendly vehicle assembly tools, and new
Map View iconography which presents trajectory data with
unprecedented clarity.
Time warp now not only gives the player the ability to
accelerate time, including while accelerating, an absolute
game-changer for long-burn, interplanetary flights. The time warp
controls also allow interaction with vehicle systems while paused,
giving players the flexibility to issue commands at their leisure
when they stop time; these last-second tweaks will prove invaluable
when a landing inevitably goes awry!
In addition, Kerbal Space Program 2 offers a greatly
enhanced visual and immersive audio experience. All the beloved
celestial bodies from the original game have been remade using an
all-new terrain system that allows for unprecedented detail and
variety - the Kerbolar System is now rich with new points of
interest to discover. Sound completes the player’s immersion, with
rocket SFX sampled directly from real launches and a musical score
that changes dynamically based on the flight conditions at
hand.
“We have laid a foundation with Kerbal Space Program 2
that we plan to continue to build upon for many years to come,”
said Michael Cook, Franchise Director of Kerbal Space Program
2 at Private Division. “Early Access is just the start of our
journey. We will launch multiple big feature updates ultimately
culminating in our 1.0 release.”
After Kerbal Space Program 2 launches in Early Access,
Intercept Games will release multiple innovative features
throughout the proceeding months. Some of the highlights to come
include:
- Next-Generation Technology: Players will unlock future
technologies, allowing them to build at larger scales and use new
fuels and propulsion systems. These capabilities will enable
players to venture beyond the limits of the original Kerbolar
System and into unexplored star systems.
- Colonies: A highly requested and anticipated feature for
the sequel, players will be able to locate and extract valuable
resources, then use those materials to build custom bases on
distant celestial bodies or in deep space. Colonies not only
present their own physics challenge in construction, but these
habitations are a necessary stepping stone to furthering deep space
exploration and beyond.
- Interstellar Travel: KSP2 will present players with the
challenge of interstellar navigation. They must venture across the
gulf of interstellar space inside fusion-powered megaships capable
of incredible speeds. Upon arrival at new star systems, they will
be able to deploy landers and rovers to explore the planets waiting
to be discovered.
- Multiplayer: Players will be able to both cooperate and
compete with friends to explore space together and achieve historic
milestones in their own space race. Multiplayer unlocks endless
potential for adventures, completists, and “unexpected” vehicle
collisions.
- Modding: Kerbal fans are keen to share the plethora of
mods available for the original game, and Intercept Games plans to
make the sequel even more mod-friendly by releasing additional
developments aimed to support the modding community.
- And more: There will be plenty of quality-of-life
improvements, bug fixes, features, and more as the game develops in
Early Access, so stay tuned for updates.
Today, Private Division and Intercept Games also announced an
official partnership with Logitech G, a leading innovator of gaming
technologies and gear, for Kerbal Space Program 2. Players
can experience deeper immersion in space flight and enjoy lighting
integrations that reflect the various intense states when blasting
off by using Logitech G peripherals.
