“We remain focused on making sure KSP2 performs well on a variety of hardware, has amazing graphics, and is rich with content. We’ve built a spectacular team at Intercept Games — a team that includes, as previously mentioned, key members from the development team behind the original Kerbal Space Program.”
Kerbal Space Program 2 has been postponed another again. The game’s production team updated fans on the project’s progress on Monday, stating that the sequel will be ready for release in early 2023 on PC and later that year on consoles. “We are creating a game of enormous technological complexity, and we are taking this extra time to guarantee we hit the quality and degree of polish it deserves,” the developers wrote in the statement.

Creative director Nate Simpson also released a video explaining the new release date and the delay, though it didn’t include too much additional information. The original Kerbal Space Program was designed by Squad, an unconventional international team headquartered in Mexico City, only to be acquired by Take Two in 2017. The sequel was announced in 2019, with Star Theory Games (formerly Uber Entertainment) charged with development. That team was swapped out for Intercept Games the same year. It’s this transition — along with the COVID-19 pandemic and the overall complexity of the spaceflight simulation — that has resulted in multiple delays for the game according to developers.
