Space Engineers 2 is setting a new frontier for sandbox games with its upcoming Alpha launch on January 27th. Developed by the original creators of Space Engineer, this sequel promises to expand on the engineering, building, and exploration elements that fans loved, with a whole new level of depth and customization. 

Key Features and Improvements:

• Unified Grid System: The introduction of a new 25cm unified grid system eliminates the previous distinctions between small and large grids, allowing for seamless and precise constructions.
• Enhanced Creative Tools: With tools like the new voxel hand, symmetry tools, and an advanced paint tool, players can bring their most intricate designs to life more easily than ever.
• Revolutionized Visuals and Physics: SE2 integrates ray tracing, global illumination, and dynamic fractures to offer a visually stunning and more realistic experience of destruction and construction in the vastness of space.

Creative Mode Spotlight: 

Creative Mode remains a core part of the Space Engineers series, and SE2 enriches this experience from the get-go. Players can experiment with unlimited resources and new building tools to create anything from massive starships to complex structures, all within the mysterious Almagest planetary system.

Roadmap and Future Updates: 

The roadmap for SE2 is ambitious. Following the Alpha, players can look forward to:

• UGC Workshop Integration: Share and discover creations via the Steam Workshop.
• Modding Capabilities: With the VRAGE HUB and Editor, modding will reach new heights.
• Planetary Exploration and Survival: Introducing explorable planets with new challenges.
• Volumetric Water: A game-changer for engineering, allowing for construction on water bodies.
