The original Kerbal Space Program is one of the most beloved games of all time and, years after its release, it's bigger than ever before. Its sequel,
Kerbal Space Program 2
, has been fully redesigned from the ground up to meet the demands of modern and next-generation space exploration, all while maintaining the monumental foundations of the first game. Build a space program, construct powerful spacecraft, and navigate expansive celestial bodies as you explore cosmic mysteries.
Key Features to come during Early Access
Next Generation Technology
As the game updates progress, players will gain access to a whole new set of next generation tools and technology including new engines, parts, fuel, and much more. This new tech will not just create novel puzzles for players to solve, but will also enable new feats of space exploration within and beyond the original Kerbolar System.
Colonies
Brand new to Kerbal Space Program 2 are colonies. Colonies not only pose their own physics challenges, but also require resource gathering to build structures, space stations, habitations, and unique fuel types. Eventually, these colonies become advanced enough for vehicle construction, propelling deep space exploration and beyond.
Interstellar Travel
Next-gen tech, colonies, and systematic resource gathering all lead to a whole new level of exploration: interstellar travel. In Kerbal Space Program 2, interstellar technologies pave the way to a host of new star systems and celestial bodies, each comprising novel challenges and harboring secret treasures. Among them: Charr, a heat-blasted world of iron; Ovin, a ringed super-Earth with relentless gravity; Rask and Rusk, a binary pair locked in a dance of death; and many more to reward exploration.
Multiplayer/Modding
The technological developments made to the foundations of Kerbal Space Program 2 will build on the beloved modding capabilities of the original game, as well as deliver on the long-requested addition of multiplayer. Soon players will be able to share the challenges of deep space exploration. More details on these features will be revealed at a later time.
Storyline
"Your new space program, leaping into the cosmos... Since the dawn of Kerbalkind, we have looked to the sky and wondered what sublime mysteries lie hidden in the darkness, like jewels never beheld."
The Kerbals, a society of small green creatures, have built a space center to launch their kind into the space age. The player, assigned as Director of the Kerbal Space Center, is tasked to construct and launch vehicles to succeed at missions given by Mission Control.
After improving rockets and flying Kerbals to new unseen frontiers, secrets hidden throughout the solar system of Kerbol are uncovered. Strange monuments, hinting at the history of Kerbalkind, will lead the player further out of their home, Kerbin.
