Keen Software House (not to be confused with Enshrouded developer Keen Games) has revealed Space Engineers 2, a sequel to the popular space sandbox building sim Space Engineers.
The game was revealed in a rather nondescript-sounding video simply titled "Concordia Research Facility for Modular Engineering", which, if you're a Space Engineers fan, is exactly the kind of thing you'd expect a sequel announcement to appear in.
Said teaser shows off a number of features you can expect from Space Engineers 2, including new creative tools, the ability to partially copy certain elements of a construction, and "instant undoing of mistakes", as well as the ability to redo anything you've accidentally undone.
Despite the complexity of these new tools, the voiceover in the new trailer reassures players that said tools have been made "intuitive enough for anyone to grasp", even though they're "sophisticated enough to build wonders".
The trailer concludes by bidding players to "prepare for an experience unlike anything before", so if you're a Space Engineers fan, it sounds like this is exactly the kind of sequel you'd want for the first game.
A livestream will be held on December 19th at 6pm UTC (that's around 1pm Eastern) with more Space Engineers 2 info, including an extended gameplay showcase and a reveal for the game's Early Access release date as well.
You can check out the debut trailer for Space Engineers 2 right here.
If you're not familiar with the original Space Engineers, its developers describe it as a "sandbox game about engineering, construction, exploration, and survival in space and on planets".
Released in February 2019 after five years of Early Access development, the game allows you to build ships, space stations, outposts, and various other structures, using what you've built to carve out a life for yourself in the harsh wilderness of space.
Space Engineers 2 doesn't have a release date yet, but we'll learn when you'll get to play it on December 19th. Stay tuned for more.
