PlutoISaPlanet Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Pax East is about 30 days away. Will KSP 2 be featured? The game is planned for fiscal 2023 (April to December). A reveal in Feb/March makes a lot of sense, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrbitalMechanic Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 PAX East is April 21-24, so more like ~80 days. I do think a KSP 2 reveal is quite likely, but we'll know more when the list of attending companies gets revealed (whenever that is). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSameKerbal77 Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 (edited) I’ve never heard of Pax before, but I hope Kerbal Space Program 2 it is featured. Edit: I meant I hope we get a release date in general. Edited February 14, 2022 by TheSameKerbal77 Possibly Misleading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minmus Taster Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 I remember last time we got our hopes up so high Private Division spent it's slot on the show talking about inclusivity as far as I can remember (not that inclusivity is a bad thing). I'd be cautious but I'd say at this rate it would make sense to make some sort of reveal then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlutoISaPlanet Posted February 8, 2022 Author Share Posted February 8, 2022 What else could Private Division show off. The only other game I know they make is olli olli and that came out recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephensmat Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 I found this over on the KSP Reddit. Take Two's Fiscal Year is April 1st, 2022 - March 31st, 2023. So at least there's a specific range now. PAX East on April 24th? Maybe a trailer before that, and a breakdown of the game at PAX? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope KSP2 doesn't give people exposed to the Pax a way to travel not only from world to world, but from star to star... that would be very very bad... Oh wait, that's a different Pax...

Fiscal 2023 has been floating around for a while, though I'm not sure where the info originally came from. It has been recently confirmed at Take-Two's earning report event thingy.

TLTay Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 In fairness, they attempted lithobraking but the collision model wasn't finished so we passed right through and had to wait till the next periapsis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosun Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Sadly it is not April Fools. The original launch date was even earlier than that. The initial trailer hit in 2017. That was, I believe, almost a year and a half, to two years into development already. The game has been 'in official development' of some sort, since 2015, really. I've said it other places, but most games take 6-10 years to fully develop from public announcement to public release, nowadays. Don't know why. Just is. Kerbal 2 will likely launch sometime *actual* year 2023/4. If they release it before 2025, they're above the curve for normal game development timelines in our modern age. Due to to the complex nature of computing and modeling, and higher customer expectations for graphics and representation by modelling, game development just take significantly longer. There isn's a single game I've waited on in the last decade and a half, that has been publicly announced, and then released, in less than 6 years. It has been worth the wait every time, and I highly doubt Private Division wants to rush things. I would estimate, when they say '2022' release, that they will release sometime in the actual year 2023, possibly fiscal year 2024. The fact that we've seen so little of the game in renders, there have been no firmer timelines set, and there have been very few development updates lately, would render that they are behind schedule, and have no further news to update at this time.

I've said it other places, but most games take 6-10 years to fully develop from public announcement to public release, nowadays. Don't know why. Just is. You're off by 2 years on your dates. Squad was only purchased by Private Division in May 2017. If you look at games released by Star Theory Games, their Dino Frontier hit the stores in August 2017. So the work on KSP2, most likely, started somewhere between these dates. And the trailer, of course, was shown at E3 2019. Life cycle of games varies a lot from game to game. The 6-10 year figure is absolutely arbitrary and is not at all reasonable for smaller projects. Even now, Intercept is barely a mid-size studio. Studios of this size are usually expected to crank out a game in 2-3 years. Now, by this metric, KSP2 is running well behind, but keep in mind, that it had a somewhat rocky development and, likely, grew as a project. Original release date was marked for early 2020, which would have been under 3 years in development. After the PD pulled the plug on the contract with Star Theory and founded Intercept, development on KSP2 had an almost total restart. While not starting completely from scratch, Intercept clearly stepped back into an almost pre-production mode to re-allign the project and start the work with the new, 2022 goal. So from that perspective, the current iteration of KSP2 is still expected to be in development for less than 3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
