Please join us Monday, October 19, for the release of Space Engineers 2: “Hostile Encounters” – The Combat NPC Update!

Combat NPCs Arrive Early

We originally announced Combat NPCs and Co-op Multiplayer as part of the same update. During development, however, the NPC systems reached a point where they were ready to go into players’ hands sooner.

This week, I want to give you a first look at the Interior Turret. It is a compact defensive option designed to help protect tight spaces where bigger turrets simply do not fit.

We are improving NPCs shooting from cover, with better animations and positioning so they stay more protected while still maintaining a clear line of sight to their target.

We are also improving ragdoll behavior – with NPCs coming to Space Engineers 2, you will also be seeing that behavior much more often.

We are adding proper weapon recoil.
