A sequel is coming for silly-yet-serious area build-o-exploration sim Kerbal Space Program. Blasting off subsequent 12 months, Kerbal Space Program 2 will add fancy and far-flung options together with interstellar journey, area colonies, and official multiplayer assist. This announcement appeared sudden to me till I remembered that the primary game formally left early entry in 2015. Four years in the past! Goodness me. Come watch the sequel’s announcement trailer beneath.
That’s not in-game, after all, but it surely does present a couple of issues to count on. We’ll get to construct colonies on celestial our bodies, rising them to reap assets, home folks, and function stepping stones constructing ships to ship us deeper into area. Or into different photo voltaic techniques, because of fancy new high-tech ship elements. Hell, deliver a good friend.
Modders have bashed multiplayer into KSP earlier than, however I’d count on (or hope?) that official and supported multiplayer will likely be higher. Easier to get your non-techy friends taking part in, not less than.
It appears like they’re attempting to make KSP2 just a little friendlier too, speaking about “new animated tutorials”, an “improved UI”, and “fully revamped assembly and flight instructions.” So not less than newcomers will seemingly have a greater thought of why their ships crash and explode?
I’m just a little shocked, however fairly happy, to listen to that mod assist continues to be deliberate for KSP2. I half-expected any future Kerbal to chop mods and deal with paid expansions, provided that Take-Two own the series as of late.
See KSP2’s site for extra.
The sequel is being made by Star Theory, who made Monday Night Combat beneath their earlier identify of Uber Entertainment. Kerbal creators Squad are lending “support” too. Here are among the Star Theory gang gabbing about making KSP2, and some Squaddies too:
Kerbal Space Program 2 is coming being printed by Private Division, the ‘indie label’-ish arm of Take-Two Interactive. The launch is broadly slated for 2020.
