Now, Falanghe leads a team that has employed some 25 people all told, and is knee-deep in development on a game that allows players to create and manage their own space program, by building and flying spacecraft, and trying to help the beloved Kerbals fulfill their ultimate mission of conquering space.

But the concept stuck with Falanghe as he made his way through college studying game design, and grew over time into a pet project.

The publisher didn't say why at the time, and Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick told Games Industry today that coronavirus is the only reason for the delay.That was some 10 years ago. The development of Kerbal Space Program 2 moved to a new in-house studio earlier this year, which took over from the previous developer, Star Theory.

'With everything going on in the world today due to the COVID-19 outbreak, we're facing many unique challenges that require more time to safely iterate, create, test, and make KSP2 as great as it can be,' it went on. We are making a big, expansive game loaded with new features, but doing so will take longer than we previously anticipated.' 'As you all know, we've been working hard to make the best and most authentic KSP sequel possible,' a developer statement reads. The reason, as you may have already guessed, has to do with the coronavirus pandemic. Publisher Take-Two was the first to break the news on its Q4 earnings call last night, and the developer later reiterated it on Twitter. Kerbal Space Program 2 has been delayed all the way until fall 2021 on PC, PS4 and Xbox One. Kerbal Space Program 2 is not coming out this year.
