Intercept Games, the developer behind Kerbal Space Program 2, is facing uncertainty due to recent layoffs announced by Take-Two, the game’s publisher. The layoffs are part of a restructuring effort by Take-Two, with 70 employees affected in Seattle where Intercept Games is based. While Intercept Games has not confirmed the closure, games journalist Jason Schreier has indicated that the studio is indeed shutting down, leading to confusion and chaos within the Kerbal Space Program 2 community.
Despite the layoffs, Intercept Games has stated they are still working on Kerbal Space Program 2, but the future of the game remains unclear.
