videogameschronicle.com:

Private Division and Intercept Games today announced that Kerbal Space Program 2 will launch in early access on February 24, 2023.

The game will arrive on PC on Steam and the Epic Game Store. The long-awaited sim sequel, which was originally due to be released in 2020 before being pushed to late 2021, then to 2022, and now to 2023, will come to consoles at a later time.

“By releasing in Early Access, we are entering a new phase in which players get to experience greatly anticipated systems, features, updates and more as they come online,” said Nestor Gomez, lead producer for Kerbal Space Program 2 at Intercept Games.

“We will be listening and seeing the reactions to these changes; and much like the original game, this journey will help us leverage a massively powerful tool: our passionate community.”

Following the early access launch of Kerbal Space Program 2, the game will receive large features over the proceeding months, which the developers detailed today.

Last year Private Division released a Kerbal Space Program 2 video showing how the game is being designed to be more welcoming to new players than its predecessor.

According to Intercept Games, one of its top priorities is making onboarding and approachability enhancements so that the title can be enjoyed as many players as possible, including new tutorials and various UI/UX improvements.
