Sandbox mode gives me an overwhelming array of options for ship parts, spread over several tabs by piece type. (I save-scummed a lot because I couldn’t bear the thought of Bob Kerman dying.) This would be a mistake for the Kerbals, many of whom perished in my cruel attempts at reaching the majesty of the stars. I hopped out of that tutorial and decided to take on the mantle of head engineer. ![]() But these components would not be enough to send the rocket into orbit. The sleek, charming building tutorial did a great job of guiding me through what a ship needs to be able to launch into the sky and safely land - command module, fuel tank, engine, and parachute - which I dutifully wrote down in my gamer notebook. It all started in Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB), where I designed my rocket ships. The early game made me feel like an amateur physicist, even if it’s the closest I’ll ever get to an actual rocket. Earning sweet KSP 2 success required a lot of trial and error and back-of-napkin math. I, a fool convinced of my own intelligence, thought this would be pretty easy. Instead I set a basic goal: Make a ship and successfully guide it into orbit. In early access, KSP 2 doesn’t yet have a career mode, so there aren’t contracts or objectives to guide my time. I’m trying the game as a newcomer, having only spent a small handful of hours with Kerbal Space Program, during which I developed an intense appreciation for, and terror about, its complex and fairly realistic physics model. The game launches (pun intended) into early access on Friday, with a sandbox mode available. In Kerbal Space Program 2, you meticulously build rocket ships to launch into orbit around the planet Kerbin, and eventually explore other celestial bodies across the cosmos. More details on these features will be revealed at a later time.Oh, to be an astronaut, flying away from Kerbin and into the great frontier of space. Soon players will be able to share the challenges of deep space 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. 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. 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. ![]() Interstellar Travel Next-gen tech, colonies, and systematic resource gathering all lead to a whole new level of exploration: interstellar travel. Eventually, these colonies become advanced enough for vehicle construction, propelling deep space exploration and beyond. Colonies not only pose their own physics challenges, but also require resource gathering to build structures, space stations, habitations, and unique fuel types. ColoniesBrand new to Kerbal Space Program 2 are colonies. 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. ![]() ![]() Next Generation TechnologyAs 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. Build a space program, construct powerful spacecraft, and navigate expansive celestial bodies as you explore cosmic mysteries. 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. 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.
