Kerbal Space Program 2 zaoferuje graczom liczne sposoby na kontynuację kosmicznych przygód dzięki bogactwu nowych planet do odkrycia, nowym technologiom przemierzania kosmosu oraz możliwości zakładania nowych kolonii – wszystko w oparciu o twardą naukę. Gracze będą mogli po raz pierwszy w historii budować bez ograniczeń związanych z grawitację, dzięki czemu możliwe będzie wznoszenie większych konstrukcji i bardziej skomplikowanych obiektów, w tym statków międzygwiezdnych. Dodatkowo, gracze będą mogli dzielić się wrażeniami w trybie wieloosobowym, który pojawi się w serii po raz pierwszy w historii. Kerbal Space Program 2 wprowadzi też szereg nowych ulepszeń, w tym zaktualizowane planety i części, dodatkową wsparcie dla modowania i ulepszony samouczek, aby pomóc nowym graczom wznieść się ponad ziemię. Z jednej strony, zmiany te pozwolą początkującym wkroczyć do świata prawdziwych przedsięwzięć rakietowych, z drugiej strony zaś, weterani mogą spodziewać się tego samego poziomu trudności, co wcześniej. „W KSP zawsze chodziło o przekraczanie barier innowacji i kreatywności, a w Kerbal Space Program 2 idziemy jeszcze dalej” stwierdził Nate Simpson, dyrektor kreatywny w Star Theory. „Wprowadzamy kilka nowych sposobów, na które gracze mogą rzucać wyzwania samym sobie, w tym nowe łamigłówki z fizyki, nowe planetarne destynacje do zdobycia i nowe sposoby rozwijania własnego programu badania kosmosu.
