At that time, the game will be available on PC platforms including Steam and the Epic Games Store. In a news post on the Kerbal Space Program 2 website, it’s noted that the game’s Early Access price will be $49.99 (USD).

An overview of the game was also provided for those who may be unfamiliar with the game, or who are fans of the original wondering what sort of features Kerbal Space Program 2 will offer. First, those playing the game during its Early Access period will be able to test out and enjoy features as they’re released, and provide feedback “to shape this exciting game through development.”

The news post also talks about how Kerbal Space Program 2 was redesigned “from the ground up to meet the demands of modern and next-generation space exploration.” And how, in the game, players will once again be able to construct their own spacecraft and navigate new star systems.
