With Kerbal Space Program: Breaking Ground Expansion
players will have all new robotic parts that include hinges, rotors,
pistons, and more in a variety of different sizes. These parts encourage
the invention of deeply creative vehicles with further advanced
functionality than ever before.
Deployed science is another major addition of this expansion, which
enhances the experiments and data-collection objectives that have gone
hand-in-hand with space exploration. Players will be able to utilize a
storage container in their craft that can hold various pieces of science
equipment. Upon reaching their destination, players can deploy equipment
to monitor and collect data through assorted methods and relay it back
to Kerbin, the Kerbals’ home planet. One scientific instrument, the
active seismometer, even tasks players to deliberately crash
contraptions into a celestial body to gather seismic data!
Kerbal Space Program: Breaking Ground Expansion also
changes the experience players have when exploring celestial bodies. New
surface features are scattered across planets throughout the solar
system and can be scanned utilizing a new robotic arm attached to
rovers. These surface features include cryovolcanoes, meteors, craters,
and many more mysterious objects for players to investigate.
Additionally, the expansion includes a new futuristic
space suit for the Kerbals so they can travel space in style.
“We are always listening closely to the ever-expanding Kerbal
Space Program Community, and Breaking Ground addresses
a long-requested aspect of the game that we have been working hard to
fulfill: compelling reasons to explore and research planets,” said
Nestor Gomez, Lead Producer at Squad. “Players now have even more
reasons to explore the celestial bodies of the solar system.”
“The creativity of the KSP community is something that never ceases to
amaze us,” said Michael Cook, Executive Producer at Private Division. “Kerbal
Space Program: Breaking Ground Expansion is packed with content
that we believe will add countless hours of fresh gameplay, as well as
generate some incredible new craft designs from players. We can’t wait
to see what they come up with.”
About Kerbal Space Program
In Kerbal Space Program, players take charge of the space
program for the alien race known as the Kerbals, and have access to an
array of parts to assemble a fully functional spacecraft that flies (or
doesn’t) based on realistic aerodynamic and orbital physics. Launch your
Kerbal crew into orbit and beyond (while keeping them alive) to explore
moons and planets in the Kerbol solar system, constructing bases and
space stations to expand the reach of your expedition.
Kerbal Space Program features three gameplay modes. In
Science Mode, players can perform space experiments to unlock new
technology and advance the knowledge of Kerbalkind. In Career Mode, you
can oversee every aspect of the space program, including construction,
strategy, funding, upgrades, and more. In Sandbox, players can build any
spacecraft that they can think of, with all parts and technology in the
game.
Kerbal Space Program: Breaking Ground Expansion is now
available on PC for $14.99 (MSRP). Kerbal Space Program is
