Final Pistol Model

When we released Hostile Encounters, the pistol you picked up was a placeholder model. It did its job, but it was never meant to stay. In the next update, we’re replacing it with the final Space Engineers 2 pistol.

Here you can see our progress, from the first concept art shapes to the finished model in-game.

More Poplar Trees

Running through the Verdure forests should feel like exploring a real place, not walking past the same tree again and again. That’s why we will be adding multiple poplar shapes, so the forest breaks up naturally and you don’t notice the same tree repeating around you.

Here you can see some of them:

Holiday Cheer Event

The holidays are coming, and this year we want to bring some of your creations directly into Space Engineers and Space Engineers 2.

Send us your best winter and Christmas-themed screenshots from either game at community@keenswh.com – snowy bases, festive ships, decorated stations, or anything else that captures the holiday spirit.

We’ll select our favorites and feature them in a special video on our YouTube channel during the holiday season, helping spread a little Christmas cheer across both games. 

So get building, decorating, and screenshotting – we can’t wait to see what you create.
