Don’t let the adorable Kerbals fool you. Kerbal Space Program is one of the most hardcore simulators out there! The sequel introduces a slew of new features that fans of the franchise will adore right away. So, are you ready for the conquest of space with Kerbal Space Program 2?
A new cosmic adventure
Kerbal Space Program 2 is an upcoming spaceflight simulation video game developed by Intercept Games and published by Private Division. The game is the sequel to the critically acclaimed Kerbal Space Program, released in 2015. The new version promises to provide players with a much more immersive experience as they take on the role of astronauts and attempt to explore outer space. Players can build their own spacecraft, design complex missions, and fly them into orbit and beyond. With its realistic physics engine, advanced mission editor, and detailed visuals, Kerbal Space Program 2 looks set to become one of the most exciting games in this genre!

Keep in mind that the upcoming release date concerns early access, so you won’t experience all features from day one. Developers will gradually add new systems and features. The initial release is going to include elements such as:
- Visually updated Kerbolar system with secrets to discover,
- New ship parts,
- Paint jobs,
- An improved user interface,
- Upgraded map,
- Tutorials for new players,
- Revamped crafting and flying interfaces,
- … and more!
Therefore, players already have access to a plethora of fun features from the very beginning. If you want to learn more about the roadmap and what comes next, make sure to visit the official Kerbal Space Program site.
Establish your own colonies
One of the most significant additions to the game is colonies. Colony building requires the players to gather needed resources in order to expand the colony. Once they are advanced enough, players will be able to build ships and launch them from the colony’s spaceport. This will allow them to explore and colonize other planets in a safe and realistic environment since each colony boasts different physics for an extra challenge.

Moreover, you’ll have to take care of the Kerbals themselves by providing them with food and oxygen. Resources can be traded across your colonies as well, so clever planning and tactics will be crucial to keep all your colonies happy and prosperous. It’s worth noting that the sequel features upgraded visuals. Kerbal Space Program 2 will be enriched with immersive and realistic sound design: from real-life recordings of a rocket to naturally occurring sounds.
An interstellar journey
In Kerbal Space Program 2, your little brave astronauts will venture into the most remote corners of space thanks to interstellar travel. Thanks to the new technology, colonies, and clever resource gathering, players will be able to discover new celestial bodies. These will be diverse and exciting, with some featuring more dangerous environments than others. You’ll also discover secret treasures exclusive to particular areas. The journey will be an adventure in itself, as you explore the vastness of space!

To make advanced space exploration possible, Kerbal Space Program 2 is going to feature dozens of new gear used to craft spaceships. A whole new generation of engines, parts, fuel, and other elements add a new dimension to the classic KSP mechanics. Crafting and customizing your own ship (using 350 customizable elements!) is going to be an amazing experience, and you’ll be able to take the design of your ship even further. The overhauled interface is going to make the process more pleasurable and fun.
Multiplayer options
One of the most awaited features is the Kerbal Space Program 2 multiplayer. There aren’t many details concerning this mode, as the developers promise to reveal them sometime later. For now, we know that modding will be present in the game as well and will be available for players from day one.
