Kenshi 2 - What We Know So Far and What We Can Expect

Whats up my guys, You absolute mad lads. We are gonna take some time today to go over everything we know currently as of march 2021 about Kenshi 2. For those of you who don't know or haven't seen my original review video on Kenshi or the subsequent videos on the entire lore of kenshs 1st and 2nd empires I reallllly recommend you check those out first as they are gonna give some added context to some of the discussions involving kenshi 2 as it is supposed to be set during our immediately after the second empire itself

kenshi 2 might be the first game i would dare to pre-order... i'm so hyped

[kriek]

All of the ruins and giant skeletons you find in kenshi really gets me intrigued more than anything else about what happened to this place, I love that Kenshi 2 will expand on this I cannot wait

[martinhofer]

Please keep on posting Kenshi-stuff. Your devotion to the game is inspiring. I'd love to see a cinematic cut Let's Play by you. But I realize how much work that would be - just know that I love your Kenshi-output!

[cyliemyrus]

Whatttt?!?! This is actually the first time I'd heard anything about Kenshi 2. Was scrolling the feed then this videos pops up.

I fully expect Infinite Wingwang to be alive 1000 years earlier.

I am pumped for Kenshi 2. I just hope that they take their time with it & don't feel pressured & rush things.

[zombieboy]

Honestly I do want kenshi 2 to add more of a dynamic economy, warfare, territorial claims, political, rts whatever elements in kenshi 2. Exploring is cool, but once you've seen everything, know where everything is, there is very little to do. personally I like the city management style of playing.

A bit of terraforming would be amazing.

actually funny thing about the dustwitch, in real life it would be incredibly soggy, cactus are VERY wet and VERY packed with nutrients and are basically nature-grown waterskins

[InvictusByz]

I can hardly imagine how cool Kenshi would be with boats. It would enhance the sense of going on far-ranging expeditions so much.

[ronpaul]

I’m still super hyped for this. 1000% buying this and shilling it to everyone that will listen.

Since skeletons are immortal I’m going to copy the names of my skeleton squad and role play what their lives were like 1, 000 years earlier before they went into storage. Maybe not the most original idea but whatever

[stevensims]

Kenshi is such a brutal game. I love it. Eventually I managed to muster up the courage to leave the starter area. Didn't even have a good squad and I tried to run through the jungle or something and nearly was killed by some Red Warriors then after surviving the chase I ran into an acid rainstorm. Battered and burned I had my squad approach some ancient ruins only to find some horrific spider AI bots that slayed my entire squad as I tried to enter. So amazing.

more outside decoration for your base! roads, table, fountains, flowers, scultures, balconies!

I agree with you, I also think I remember Chris Hunt said he really wanted boats in Kenshi 1 but couldn't implement them.
edit: and yes, being able to be a pirate would be amazing haha

[jdmaine]

This dude is literally going to become rich, starting from part-time security gig to hiring a dude who worked on Star Wars. Livin' the dream.

[OGCMayne]

One big thing I would love is to be able to set schedules for people so they wouldn’t work themselves till they starve or if they have nothing to do they can go to a bar in your settlement or sleep or just hang about.

[nakenmil]

That concept art is giving me huge Moebius vibes.

[zachariahtuttle]

I know it'll be a prequel but personally, but I wished it was a sequel or at least not as far back as the second empire. I think one of the things that Kenshi had right was the mystery of what the old world was like. the remnants of the old civilizations strewn about added so much awe and trying to piece together what it was like back then are (in my opinion) more captivating than having it been shown to you.

look at it this way: if they show us what it was like back then Kenshi 1 instantly loses all of its purpose for the player to try and speculate themself (which is a big part of the fun in Kenshi's lore.)

[saooran]

Damn, this game is going to look awesome!

I bet devs will use a season like way to make the lore advance.
It's a fair bet to think things were more busy back in those pre-fall empire days, right?

Hope they make modding community busy too! Would be nice to see top-notch mods envanillated each season.

[carlpenick]

tbh i am a little disappointed kenshi didn’t have all the water, temperature and sleep requirements but after seeing the response mentioning micromanagement i understand why it wasn’t put in. it would still be cool though for realism
