Don't Miss These Upcoming Space Games For 2025!

[@KenetorTV]

Thanks for watching! Why not check out some of my scifi and space game reviews right here: kzbin.info/aero/PLIuzMBYbTbPoa5lTlAh_XteQFo-R8OE8r

[@rolandmine6693]

I’m so excited for SE2

[@KenetorTV]

and rightly so! they are filling alot of the gaps they had in SE2 which is a great green flag!

[@zackzeed]

Thank you for this list Kenetor! I'm already set on SE2 because I'm a long time SE1 player, but some of these other games look really good aswell. Hopefully they'll not suffer a similar fate like Many other games have in recent years where Promises where not kept and unfinished games where sold and never fixed.

[@KenetorTV]

And thank you for watching it! without you the viewers its just an unseen list! but with all this on the horizon, if only 25% turn out good we still have alot of space to play this year ^_^ Stay tuned for my scifi video and a review up soon!

[@blackIce504]

but the not finished the first one lol...... so yeah.

[@micheljolicoeur6094]

I am not big on PVP, as such I am keeping an eye on Starminer, Spacecraft and Space Engineers 2. Also planning on checking out Eden Crafters, Astrometica and Satisfactory 1.1 later this year.

[@KenetorTV]

I much prefer cooperation over conflict too! Much more satisfying taking on a big challenge with friends

[@fontzie9843]

WOOOOOO thank you for another video kenetor!!!!! Love your stuff 💗

[@KenetorTV]

Will be making this year my best yet!

[@TheLvBret]

Earned my sub with the Bar reference.. Good vid and thank you

[@KenetorTV]

Love me some BAR, i suck at it but its always fun!

[@Kirton1541]

1.Space Engineers 2 I'm not going to have time for other games when water comes out and im no life building dams and ships xD

[@tavishjordan5255]

Great video, very informative! I hadn't seen a couple of these (and somehow missed that Space engineers 2 was more than just some engine testing stuff??) Thanks for keeping me in the loop. I for one think I'm most excited for Fragile existence and In the black, I think there's a lot of potential for interesting gameplay for both, and they're both going over terrain that hasn't been trodden to death already.

[@KenetorTV]

you are welcome! keep your eyes peels for a sci-fi games version sometime soon now the space games are out the way!

[@louissivo9660]

Space Engineer 2! Oh goodness, I'm only starting to learn the first one as I bought the base game years ago and through the years kept buying DLCs on sale... Okay, I'll focus on the first, but nice to know a second is coming. Love the complete list of games here. Lots of great gaming in our futures.

[@Velistraee]

I don't have a top 3 to be honest. All these games look rather interesting in their own ways. Only time will tell for these beasts to bite.

[@KenetorTV]

lets play them ALL!

[@Velistraee]

@@KenetorTV My thoughts exactly.

[@fluff7773]

Excellent preview Kenetor. I'm looking forward to Starminer, Beyond Astra and Spacecraft.

[@KenetorTV]

thanks! hope you found something new to follow too!

[@Chaos_Rifle]

a great list, hopefully a bright rebound of space games in the near future!

[@KenetorTV]

Fingers crossed!

[@armedbobery4879]

Capital Commander kind of looks like it could almost fit into the universe of "The Expanse" except the hyperspace part.

[@andybrown4284]

Not quite a space game but the thing I'm looking forward to the most is the second phase of the combat update to DSP which is meant to be focussing on the space side

[@KenetorTV]

that game just keeps on giving and i love it!

[@CosmicAggressor]

Now this is a pretty good list.

[@KenetorTV]

Thanks! expect another interesting one soon™

[@jacobrobinson7395]

I love “Satisfactory” so “Space Craft” is at the top of my list. Then Space Engineers 2 and finally “Beyond These Stars” because Hexagons are the Best-agons

[@KenetorTV]

id be careful of the association until we learn more, its been listed as an inspiration SpaceCraft, nothing concrete is known about any of the factory gameplay yet

[@jacobrobinson7395]

@ fingers crossed 🤞

[@Wizarth]

This looks like it's going to be a big year for space games!

[@KenetorTV]

"hell... its about time!"

[@SamuelAlvarez-f1w]

I understand if its annoyning that is being delayed but by advertising at least we have a taste

[@Macskinny76]

Falling Frontier and the last game that was shown are my two.

[@KenetorTV]

last one was ERA ONE!

[@gattsgarage1196]

Some interesting looking stuff. Nice to see the industry moving away from the lousy live service mmo "players create the content" type games, and back to games we can still play when the servers die. Not even bothering with SpaceCraft, heard it to many times at this point. Good video, definitely checking out a couple of these especially SE2

[@KenetorTV]

yup, plenty to look forward to! I would still love to see a live service/mmo creative space game at some point thought, i dont think SpaceCraft will be it but im still gonna keep an eye on it, you never know!

[@bof0079]

hey man, i got to thank you so much for adding the info in the description! I like to read what im watching and seeing chapter 1...5 with no titles is really annoying

[@KenetorTV]

wait there was no titles? there should be!

[@kruzil]

New Kenetor video dropped! Woo!

[@KenetorTV]

glad you enjoyed!

[@Bolix345]

Spacecraft looks very interesting

[@KenetorTV]

Yup! Hope the devs release some gameplay footage asap!

[@CruelCandy]

I'm hopeful for SpaceCraft and Beyond These Stars. SpaceCraft because maybe they can see what happened to Starbase? I also think the focus on PVE will have wider appeal, but a sprinkle of PVP would make me so happy. Beyond These Stars because whale.

[@KenetorTV]

100% agree! Hopefully Shiro can learn from others mistakes!

[@shanelongest9326]

This is a sick ass list. Amazing games

[@KenetorTV]

thanks! glad you enjoyed the video!

[@MegaTarre]

Cover Dual Universe, it was a pay to play game but now they gave us a MyDU. Its a standalone version that can be modded and servers hosted.

[@KenetorTV]

my du didnt work for me but even if it did, they still never finished the game

[@DerSolinski]

At least KSWH has a producer from the get go now... I hope they left a boatload of technical debt behind. Man, was it cluster truck.

[@KenetorTV]

it will be interesting if the same approach works this time round too as gamers have moved on a bit from the early days of early access games. But SE has such a cult following as well as the fact the game has literally no competition, i cant see it failing any time soon

[@DerSolinski]

@@KenetorTV It has loads of competition... but most of those are small indies with no marketing budget and a -small- tiny player base. Let's face it, Space Engineers managed to fill a void that wasn't filled before, so they jumped on it. The market is now saturated and since Marek diversified his assets with SAAS with his business AI stuff he doesn't need to worry to much about paying the bills. So they can pump money into it. Also, besides my constant bickering: VRage is still a impressive engine. The organization behind it was just a mess. But it feels like that it should be sorted out by now.

[@raven9ine]

I'm space game enthusiast. But apart from Falling Frontier, and maybe Into the Black, nothing interestst me, StarCraft looked interesting for a moment, but I doubt it will be my type of game, when they had reason to decide for third person flight, probably a really arcadey flight model in that case. I guess also in 2025 nothing can compete with Elite Dangerous.

[@nikelon8227]

I still don't want to believe that starbase is dead, i am hoping for its return but SpaceCraft does sound promising. But i hope they'll have plenty of PVP activities to keep the game alive when PVE activities run out.

[@KenetorTV]

same buddy but i think the writing is on the wall at this point, we should move on and if it ever does fully come back then it can be a nice surprise

[@cptnoname]

Multiplayer online only was a bad idea, doomed from the start. Loved some of the fresh construction ideas, but it wasn't meant to be

[@Raunche]

1. Falling frontier 2. Space Engineers 2 (sad its just creative, oh well) 3. SpaceCraft

[@KenetorTV]

a good bunch! looking forward to trying SE2 at the end of the month!

[@errorerror8700]

There are a few gems coming up.great!

[@KenetorTV]

That there are!

[@Spanj]

My top 3 .... yes....

[@KenetorTV]

you can pick them all if you NEED to :P i know i am haha

[@SorvinaSavage]

Anyone notice the Star Destroyer at @2:51 Beyond Astra lol

[@KenetorTV]

an inspired design i think :)

[@Malidictus]

"Marrying first-person dogfighting with XCOM" isn't new. You basically described X-com Interceptor - at least in principle.

[@KenetorTV]

True but i would expect this to play quite different than a game from the late nineteen hundreds 😉

[@sHuRuLuNi]

"Combat", "Mining/trading". Not a single space game focused on EXPLORATION. What an irony.

[@Malidictus]

Wait, Space Engineers 2 in Early Access? Did Space Engineers 1 ever leave Early Access?

[@KenetorTV]

Lol its been full release for 6 Years now, thats longer than it was in early access for

[@Malidictus]

@@KenetorTV Huh. Guess I missed the announcement :) Well, let's hope 2 has more of a focus. I like 1, but the lack of any actual objective was demotivating. Having a campaign in the vein of Barotrauma or at least Factorio would be nice.

[@Dylanlamprecht]

where is starbird?

[@KenetorTV]

its a top game list not every game, Starbirds is a simple game and a nice way to support what Kurzgesagt to, im also a fan, but its gonna be a niche small game

[@Dylanlamprecht]

​@@KenetorTV oh ok

[@IDGAF23]

You had me with falling frontier until you said single player. Idk why its so hard for someone to make a space pvp rts game. the framework is all there and it would sell like hot cakes

[@KenetorTV]

well sadly the market has shown space rts do not sell like hot cakes, online or not, but are you bored with homeworld 3, sins of a solar empire 2 and the battle fleet gothic armada games already? were not exactly starved for space RTS, plenty more too

[@Goodgu3963]

Any trailer that doesn't have gameplay and is just a fancy CGI cinematic is a scam.

[@KenetorTV]

well thats just not true, it can be but no not every single one, sometimes its just too early to show gameplay, we will just have to wait, nothing we can do about that sadly :)

[@Goodgu3963]

​@@KenetorTV I did not say any game that does this is a scam, I said that any trailer that does this is a scam. A trailer that is trying to convince me to pre-order or wishlist, or share to others a game, without showing me ANY part of the actual game itself is the definition of a scam. "Here is something that has nothing to do with our product, based on how cool it looks, you should buy our product" Developers who are proud of what they have made do not spend tens of thousands of USD on CGI to hide it. While not every single studio/publisher that does this intends to scam it's users, there is not a single good reason to release a game trailer that does not contain gameplay. If it's too early to show gameplay, then it's too early to be announced, and WAY too early to have any sort of trailer.

[@The_spac3gam3r]

Starbirds do I have to say any more?

[@KenetorTV]

I absolutely love kurzgesagt but i need to see more before i class that as a game instead of another way to support them

[@SnapJack8991]

Stellaris will never get old

[@KenetorTV]

for some maybe, but more than a few times now ive seen people for looking for something else

[@lordbayne7918]

"Your Top 3"

[@KenetorTV]

Ding ding ng we have a winner 🏆

[@clswtz]

what happened to starbase? im out of the loop. i used to RELIGIOUSLY watch your starbase videos lol

[@KenetorTV]

the only question you need is do you still play? yeah thats why its dead lol

[@KenetorTV]

but in all seriousness, they stopped dev, went silent, came back a year later, started dev again, accomplished nothing, then when silent again

[@clswtz]

@@KenetorTV it's just so unfortunate to me. they had a super super loyal youtuber (the ESGOO to their Limbus Company, perhaps) who would religiously make videos covering progress, sell the game hard, and they broke that goodwill so many times over i remember not playing on release because of how buggy it was and how different it was (worse) from the closed access :\

[@KenetorTV]

@@clswtz its ok though, I will find a new game for all of us!

[@clswtz]

@@KenetorTV it really just sadly feels like there's nothing like [what] starbase [could've been] :(

[@jcataclisma]

🤩👍👍👍

[@KenetorTV]

hope you found something you like!

[@danielhulan3058]

Yeah with what happened last year, I've lost all faith in videogame developers. Indy and big time devs alike have just let us down again and again. With either making promises on games in alpha then selling and screwing customers (KSP 2 I'm looking at you) or conning us to do a cash grab (Day before thats you!). I'm just jaded with them and they have lost my trust.

[@KenetorTV]

Very understandable! Well at least you can wishlist any that look interesting and wait and see, i will review all i can get keys for and give my honest opinion

[@j.d.4697]

So SpaceCraft is promising a Star Citizen experience in 2025 when they haven't even shown any actual gameplay footage? Dream more...

[@KenetorTV]

not sure where you got that from but i agree they still need to show actual footage of gameplay

[@darknetworld]

Space games are not easy to make as well players will have hard to to play if too much thinking... XD

[@pepepas1900]

U forgot to add Star Citizen update 4.0 . This update has changed this game totally.

[@KenetorTV]

i did not forget, the is new games not decade old games

[@pepepas1900]

@@KenetorTV So when the game releases u will make a ''New games'' video about it?

[@KenetorTV]

@@pepepas1900 if its playable sure! as ive said to others, im an OG backer, but the game has been buggy as hell every time i come back each year to try it.

[@GordonSeal]

Please stop advertising Falling Frontier, it will just get delayed again and again and it's just tiring seeing it advertised every of the last years, only to hear it getting delayed another time.

[@KenetorTV]

You know its mostly just 1 guy right? Unlike another long delayed space game that wont be mentioned

[@TmzzRz]

Where’s Star Citizen 4.0? Squadron 42 it’s in polish till 2026 for sure

[@KenetorTV]

this is for new games actually releasing not the next iteration of an alpha, SSC has been on these types of lists for over a DECADE, no more! if and when SQ42 gets a definitive release date, then sure its time to include it but were still years away

[@TmzzRz]

@ at least yes other 2 years for me

[@Cooyy]

just play star citizen

[@KenetorTV]

I do, i check it once a year, for the last 8 its been massively buggy each time

[@mrsasquatch4828]

​@KenetorTV yeahh unfortunately, that's the beast with such a big project, but people keep going back to it for a reason despite the bugs.

[@billyheaning]

Star Citizen isn't a game, it's a 15-year-long successful extortion scheme.

[@Cooyy]

@@billyheaning no its not dumbass

[@Cooyy]

@@billyheaning people that say that are dumb as fuck. just say you dont like the project and move on
