The next step of theKerbalspace adventure is lifting off next year.Kerbal Space Programis launching into early access on June 20, 2025 for PC.
Early access will be available on PC through Steam, the Epic Game Store, and other digital storefronts. Development will continue, as Intercept Games keeps working on features and tuning in the months after launch.
To showcase all this, Intercept released alengthy developer update today, announcing the news and detailing what’s in store for the early access launch.
Right out of the gate, players will be able to customize parts for your space-bound vehicles. There are over 350 new and improved parts inKerbal Space Program 2, which is a lot of different options for making a rocket that will blast into orbit in a very undignified manner, if you playKerballike I do.
While catastrophes can be fun, getting into space is the goal. Fo players like me, there are going to be improved onboarding tools, according to Intercept. New animated tutorials and revamped interfaces are intended to help new players.
One small step forKerbal
Other quality-of-life features are working their way in, too. Updated UI is a big one, as are indicators for doing interplanetary maneuvers. Alongside that, there’s a lot more detail in the environments you’ll be blasting off to explore.
While the originalKerbal SpaceProgramlit the hearts of aspiring rocket engineersaflame, the follow-up has been bouncing around in the lab. This sequel hasbeen in developmentfor quite some time.
Although it’s been a while, I am keen to see what Private Division and Intercept do withKerbal Space Program 2. Their ambitions for the game have seemed pretty lofty, stretching out into some wild areas of space exploration. But it’s that venturous attitude that has me interested to see what the talentedKerbalengineers can do with the new tools.
So whether you’re a newcomer looking to stars or a seasonedKerbalengineer, it looks like there will be new tools to tinker with in the new year.Kerbal Space Programlaunches its PC early access on July 06, 2025.
