Kerbal Space Program 2's Multiplayer Will Let You Have Full-On Space Races

gamespot.com:

Have you ever wanted to compete against your friends in a race to the moon? Maybe you'd rather work together to build a colony on Mars to help push civilization into the great beyond. Either way, Kerbal Space Program 2 may have what you're looking for sometime after launch.

Space agencies are one of the first new things you'll notice when you boot up the sequel to the rocketry-focused space-exploration game. They let you design a flag and choose a name for your version of SpaceX, NASA, or the European Space Agency. That agency will serve as the foundation of the game's multiplayer.

«Agencies are gonna be a significant component of the multiplayer experience,» said Kerbal Space Program 2 creative director Nate Simpson. «So there will be multiple launch complexes and you will be able to, when you have multiple people playing, have multiple agencies. They can either be aligned with one another or potentially competing with one another in space races.»

Kerbal Space Program 2 comes to Early Access on February 24, 2022, but many of the exciting features that set it apart from its predecessor won't be present in the game at launch. Developer Intercept Games has detailed a content roadmap including new concepts, like interstellar space travel and space colonies. Multiplayer is the final item on the roadmap, meaning it could be a long time before it's finally introduced into the game.
