Unfortunately, yet one more game is being delayed as a result of Covid-19 pandemic. This time it’s area flight sim Kerbal Space Program 2 that’s been grounded – now we’ll be ready till autumn subsequent yr to launch these little inexperienced males into the good past.
“With everything going on in the world today due to the Covid-19 outbreak, we’re facing many unique challenges that require more time to safely iterate, create, test, and make KSP2 as great as it can be,” yesterday’s statement said.
“We understand this isn’t the news you were hoping to see, but ultimately we need to make the best decision for the development of Kerbal Space Program 2. That said, we will continue to keep you updated with more feature videos, developer blogs, and other content to share our progress from now up to launch.”
This isn’t the primary delay KSP2 has seen. Back in November, the publishers announced the game wouldn’t be released until “fiscal 2021”, suggesting we may’ve seen the game sooner or later this yr. Alas, that’s now not the case.
KSP2 is being developed by Star Theory, after Take-Two Interactive bought the game from the orginal devs, Squad, a number of years in the past. They’re promising some cool new features for the sequel when it does lastly arrive – multiplayer, full mod assist and the power to assemble your individual colonies, to call a number of.
In yesterday’s delay announcement they do point out how “ambitious” their targets are for the game, maybe they’d simply bitten off a bit greater than they might chew attempting to get all this new stuff working for an earlier launch.
