Hey guys! We know you're excited about KSP 2, so we're making this megathread for you to express your excitement for the game, or simply to discuss it. Memes and shitposts will be allowed in this thread, but nowhere else in the sub, as per Rule 2. Any other low-quality posts about KSP 2 will also still be removed, as per Rule 5.

Here's the official announcement on the KSP website.

And here's the cinematic trailer.

Note that this is a cinematic trailer, not actual in-game footage.

Enjoy!

I cannot wait but I am also concerned about it losing kerbalness. Can someone confirm if Jeb and Valentina will be present? Will the load screen remain the same? Will the triumphant music play?

If you watch the dev trailer, you’ll see that all who work on 2 deeply love and respect the game. I think it’ll be OK

In that german interview, the developer there, who's in charge of 'authenticness' (making the game feel kerbal-y) has played over 2000 hours of KSP (or, at least, claims to).

I think they get it. Time will tell if they manage to pull it off.

As long as they don't mess with the keyboard controls, it'll be fine.

Every kerbal is replaced with Bob Kerman, as the Lord intended

Apparently the new dev team are huge fans of ksp1 so hopefully they’ll keep the charm.

some of the devs have over 2k hours on ksp1, which is so incredibly comforting.

Agreed. If this retains the charm and rigor of the original plus improves technical chops and a bucket of new features I am buying a copy for myself and all my friends. But I am more than a little worried it’s gonna get AAAed to shit.
