Industry and a certain comfort restored to a dead and shattered world. My mind swims with the possibilities presented by long-term play, a dream of cities in which I laid every brick, planted every crop, recruited and dictated the fate of their every inhabitant, who now man a vast network of mines, factories, shops and defences.

Given the opportunity, I'm confident I would play it for a year - more, even. Kenshi just is.īefore I proceed any further into existential hand-wringing about the amorphous nature of sandbox survival/management/roleplaying maxi-game Kenshi, which just left early access after a half-decade of open development, let me make something clear. You might as well ask me to review atmospheric pressure, or continental drift. The development team has started working on new modding tools.I could, I suspect, dash myself against Kenshi's wind-bleached rocks for a full year and still feel ill-qualified to pass judgement upon it. Potential new features may include wall climbing, and boats, but so far remain unconfirmed. While it is highly likely that the other races will return as well, they have yet to be officially confirmed.

Hivers are confirmed to be a returning race, with some additions to the variety of their appearance. Ĭurrently major known planned features include a larger and expanded world, with new and old landmasses to explore, more dynamic faction interactions, a district system for NPC towns, as well as a major new game changing system that is being kept secret.

There is, however, a potential beta phase towards the end of development to assist with bug testing. Unlike Kenshi, the game will likely not pursue an early access release as the funding is not needed, which would significantly speed up development. There is currently no confirmed release date. Though originally intended to use the latest version of OGRE as its engine, it was later changed to Unreal Engine 4.

Set around 1,000 years prior to the original game, the setting will still be in a post-apocalyptic state during this time period, and may have only slightly more advanced technology. Kenshi 2 is an upcoming prequel to Kenshi still under development by Lo-Fi Games.
