Keen Software House announced the space sandbox Space Engineers 2 and shared the first details about the project. In early access Steam the project will be released on January 28, 2025, and the basic version of the game will cost 1,100 rubles. According to the developers, the project is “a revolutionary chapter in space simulators.”
At launch, the game will only have a single-player creative mode with plenty of space for construction and experimentation in creating spaceships and stations. This stage will allow us to test the new VRAGE3 engine with a 25 cm unified grid system and many new mechanics. The multiplayer mode will arrive much later, and judging by the roadmap, a number of major updates (“vertical slices”) will be released first. So you won’t be able to play with friends very soon.
The events of Space Engineers 2 will unfold in the mysterious Almagest system, located 10,000 light years from Earth. There will be two game modes available: a sandbox mode and a story campaign with a chain of difficult tasks. The project will initially be released on PC, but in the future it will appear on PlayStation and XBOX consoles. It is not known how long the early access stage will last.
