Kerbal Space Program 2 was released in Early Access, and its new features will be added gradually throughout its development. These features include new star systems, interstellar travel technologies, colonies, multiplayer, and more.
Improved onboarding and new animated tutorials will help both experienced and novice players put their creativity to the test without sacrificing the challenge of the original game. Customizable parts, a new vehicle assembly interface, and new part coloring allow players to create even more inventive spacecraft.
The game’s environments have also been improved, with greater detail and realism in each celestial body, and a new terrain system. New tools to optimize exploration include a non-impulsive maneuver planner, time warp while accelerating and new indicators for the sphere of influence and atmosphere.
KSP 2’s audio immersion has been taken to the next level, with live recordings of real rocket launches, VAB construction, and ambient noises. The game’s soundtrack has also been expanded, with an original score by Howard Mostrom recorded with live musicians.
