Patch 1.12.2 may not be a full version shift, but it still comes with over 90 bug fixes, quality of life improvements, and even a couple new parts, with complete overhauls of the LV-T30 Reliant and LVT-45 Swivel liquid fuel engines and the brand new ground anchor.

Squad originally space game, and now the team is going to be ing Intercept Games as it works towards KSP2's (current) 2022 release window. Kerbal Space Program has been in active development since 2010, and first first released to the public on June 24, 2011. Squad launched version 1.0 in 2015, and then Take-Two, via its Private Division indie label, acquired the studio and the KSP rights in 2017.

Kerbal pace Program 2 was first announced at GamesCom 2019, and has had a bit of a rocky road since then.
