Kerbal Space Program 2 Delayed Again to at Least 2022
Kerbal Space Program 2 has been delayed again, Take-Two Interactive announced in its second fiscal quarter report. Kerbal Space Program 2 is now scheduled for the fiscal year 2023, which is as early as April 2022 or as late as March 2023.
Notably, KSP 2 creative director Nate Simpson took to the game’s official forums to inform the community, saying the game would now arrive in 2022.
"I know this is frustrating, especially considering that this isn’t the first time we’ve adjusted our schedule,” Simpson wrote. “We knew we were taking on an immense technical and creative challenge when we started this project. We’ve heard time and again from this community that quality is paramount, and we feel the same way. It’s not enough to deliver a bunch of new features – those features have to be woven together into a stable, polished whole. We’re creating a reliable foundation on which players and modders alike can build for another decade or more. That involves solving problems that have never been solved before, and that takes time.”
[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/10/01/kerbal-space-program-2-the-science-secrets-of-the-reveal-trailer-ign-first"]Kerbal Space Program has experienced multiple delays over the course of development, including a delay earlier in 2020 due to the effects of COVID-19. In February, a new KSP-focused game development studio stepped in to take over production from Star Theory Games.
Take-Two acquired Kerbal Space Program in 2017, followed by the sequel being announced at Gamescom 2019.
“It’s killing us how much of this we have to keep under our hats until the game is released,” Simpson continued. “We can’t express how much we're looking forward to soaking up all your reactions and discoveries on that day.”
Simpson added that the KSP team will continue to post images from the game and release feature videos and developer diaries, including one video this winter.

Capcom issued a statement on Thursday saying it was the victim of a cyber-attack by a third party. The company confirmed that at this time there is no reason to believe customer data was breached.
Capcom stated that the attack occurred in the early hours of November 2 and affected access to certain systems, including email and file servers. Capcom has confirmed a third party was responsible for the attack, but has yet to provide any information regarding the third party’s identity. As a result of the attack, Capcom says it has halted some operations of its internal networks as of November 2.
“Capcom expressed its deepest regret for any inconvenience this may cause to its various stakeholders,” Capcom wrote. “Further, it stated that at present there is no indication that any customer information was breached. This incident has not affected connections for playing the company's games online or access to its various websites.”
[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/05/27/why-video-game-leaks-are-here-to-stay"]Capcom says it is coordinating with law enforcement and “other related authorities,” as well as carrying out an investigation and working to restore its systems.
IGN has reached out to Capcom for additional comment and will update our story if we receive a response. Capcom is far from the only major game company dealing with a serious breach of security. Ubisoft was recently the victim of a hack that resulted in the source code of Watch Dogs Legion (a whopping 560 GB of data) being leaked online.
