Kerbal Space Program Expansion Announced

[Shawn Zipay]

Private Division and Squad announced a new expansion today for Kerbal Space Program. The Making History Expansion for KSP will be made available on March 13, 2018 for the PC. The new content includes a Mission Builder that will allow players to create and share their own scenarios. A History Pack that contains historical moments in space exploration will also be included that you can play through.

The new Mission Builder puts the process of creating and editing missions in players' hands with endless possibilities. Players can customize their own missions to include launches, landings, rescues, malfunctions, explosions, repairs, and much more. Unique victory conditions, exciting challenges, and unexpected obstacles provide an array of complexity in these missions. Players can challenge others to complete their missions by sharing them with the Kerbal Space Program community.

"Kerbal Space Program: Making History Expansion will provide players with an entire new set of tools and content that fundamentally change how the game is played," said Allen Murray, Vice President of Production at Private Division. "We can't wait to see the creativity of the KSP community around the world as they create and share missions."

Kerbal Space Program: Making History Expansion also features a History Pack containing a variety of pre-made missions inspired by humankind's own space exploration. From spacewalking to crash landing and everything in between, players can attempt to recreate moments inspired by historic events, but with a unique Kerbal twist. Kerbal Space Program: Making History Expansion also includes a number of new parts and astronaut suits inspired by the Space Race that players can use throughout Kerbal Space Program.

Kerbal Space Program places you in charge of your very own space program for an alien race known as the Kerbals. They're like minions but adorable and actually awesome. I guess that makes them nothing at all like minions now that I think about it. The base game features a Science Mode that tasks you with performing various space experiments to unlock new technologies. Career Mode allows you to oversee every aspect of the space program including construction, strategy, funding, upgrades, and more. And naturally there is a Sandbox mode that allows you to just build whatever the hell you want without any restrictions.
