Intercept Division has announced that Kerbal Space Program 2 has been delayed to early 2023.

In a YouTube video, creative director Nate Simpson said:

“We are building a game of tremendous technological complexity, and are taking this additional time to ensure we hit the quality and level of polish it deserves. 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. We have the perfect combination of experienced, passionate, and skilled developers to fully realize this game’s ambitious potential.”

Kerbal Space Program 2 is slated to release for the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and PC sometime in 2023.
