Kenshi Post Launch
How has the Kenshi 1.0 launch gone since December? We think it’s gone pretty good!... Kenshi has been getting some amazing attention since release and we've been making enough sales to fund future projects. We're especially enjoying the reception from our fans, plus fan art and fiction on the Kenshi subreddit since it's subscriber count blew up to over 12,000!
We've been seeing some amazing Let's Plays from Cohh Carnage, Aviticus Dragon, Rycon, Robbaz, Darkosto, Kokoplays, Matthas, and YY, plus more. Not to mention there are too many mods for us to even keep track of. Our average play time is 50 hours per player and we made it to the top 250 reviewed games[steam250.com] on Steam in 2018! Plus we had some great articles including The Guardian[www.theguardian.com], PC Gamer and RPS's Bestest Bests. All in all, the interaction from our fans has been a great inspiration and motivator for us in these past few months, and we can now proudly say, after the bad rep associated with early access games, we did good on our promise as an early access indie developer.
New To Lo-Fi Games
With Kenshi's great success, we've since expanded our team to begin work on our next project. But hey, that’s still a secret for now...
We now have Vitali, our new 3D Artist, joining us remotely, and hopefully an extra programmer very soon to join us in our UK office. We also have a team of artists working with us on the concept for our next game. Among the various studios we hired was Studio 5518 who we discovered after finding their own Kenshi fan art - Some of you may recognize this glorious piece of Holy Nation fan art[www.artstation.com] which we shared on our social media some while ago.
Coming up
Before we get too far ahead of ourselves in new projects, we're still continuing with bug fixing thanks to player bug reports and feedback. A Japanese localisation re-haul is also due out this spring, which will address the odd translations and inconsistencies reported to us last year. Likewise, expect a slightly improved French update this spring too.
We're also working on some merchandise designs for our official shop, due open in the coming months. We'll be keeping the prices as affordable as possible to thank our fans for all their support, and just because we wanna see you all wearing Kenshi t-shirts. We ran a poll on our Twitter page and after input from our fans, we'll be carrying on more designs based on the requests we got back.
Happy tech hunting!
UPDATE: There seems to be a few misunderstandings that we're abandoning Kenshi. So we've clarified that our next plans are actually to work on the prequel, which Kenshi will share the same future engine and upgrades with - here. https://steamcommunity.com/app/233860/discussions/5/1846946102843828452/

Kenshi 2 is already in development
PC Gamer
21 Mar
Kenshi took developer Lo-Fi Games around 12 years to create, and it finally left Early Access in December. It's great—just give our Kenshi review a read—and more than a bit weird. And a follow-up to the massive post-apocalyptic sandbox is already in development.
The Kenshi 2 announcement was made without much fanfare, hidden away in the Steam updates and announcements forum (cheers, ResetEra). Lo-Fi was planning on working in peace without the pressure that comes from announcing a new game, but pressure from another direction made the developer reconsider.
"Our original plan was to keep the new project quiet so we could work on it without public pressure and then do a big press release when we had something to show," studio founder Chris Hunt explains. "However it seems lots of people are getting confused or angry about us not still tinkering with Kenshi or leaving the world of Kenshi behind, so I'm going to go ahead and announce early what we are working on now, as I think it will put most people at ease."
Kenshi 2 will be set before the first game, a whole 1,000 years earlier, letting Lo-Fi dig into the world's history. This is when the Old Empire was apparently top dog. That's the ancient civilisation whose ruins you'll find scattered around Kenshi, so presumably we'll be taking a trip back to before the apocalypse.
It will use the same engine as the first game, though it's being upgraded for performance. The upgrade will benefit the original Kenshi, too, as it will be applied as a free update. Other features could also be shared across the games.
"Why keep the same engine? Because a completely new engine would break everything and take another million years to finish," says Hunt. "By sticking with the same code we are making the decision to prioritise gameplay instead of graphics. (Not to mention a much faster release date)."
What that release date will be is still a mystery. Probably sooner than 2030, though.
