'Too many games let their players succeed' says developer of notoriously tough survival RPG Kenshi, and 'that's mind-numbingly boring to me'May 12, 2025 - PC GamerOpen world survival RPG Kenshi can be cruel, especially in the early hours. As our reviewer put it back in 2018, "basic survival plans can be easily derailed by a city guard who plants drugs on you then demands money you don’t have, or by finding yourself deep in a region inhabited by vicious alien giraffes."..

It's an informal look behind the scenes with Chris Hunt - creator of Kenshi and founder of Lo-Fi Games, and Nat Mikkelson - Lo-Fi’s Managing Director and Lead Writer on Kenshi 1 and Kenshi 2. Simply put: the video is a short conversation to give you a little insight on our thinking, and a glimpse into the creators’ minds while Kenshi 2’s development continues behind the scenes. You’ll find some chatter from Chris and Nat on how Lo-Fi Games began, where the ideas for Kenshi came from, and what it’ll mean for Kenshi 2 players to experience a game set 1000 years before the first one. There’s some talk on who Kenshi is really for (and why you might need a twisted sense of humour to enjoy it), why Kenshi doesn’t make you the chosen one, and why we’re still keeping our cards close to our chest when it comes to Kenshi 2 details. There’s loads more in there, but it’s best if you just give it a watch. Subtitles in 12 languages We’ve translated subtitles to the video in the following languages: French German Italian Japanese Korean Polish Portuguese (Brazilian) Russian Simplified Chinese Spanish Turkish English subtitles are also available! Why are we sharing this now? It felt like the right time to check in; to reflect on where Kenshi came from and what sort of world we’re building next. It’s also a rare chance to hear directly from Chris and Nat themselves. Their dynamic and shared vision is at the heart of everything we do at Lo-Fi Games, and this is the first time we’ve put them in front of the camera together. If you’ve been with us since Kenshi 1, or if you’ve only just discovered the game, this video is a small glimpse into the mindset that’s shaped the world of Kenshi; from its humble beginnings to the many-legged monster it’s become. A big ol’ Kenshi sale If you’ve not yet had the chance to play the first game, we’re currently on sale at 70% off on Steam, so it’s not a bad time to pick it up. https://store.steampowered.com/app/233860/Kenshi/ Cheers for reading and watching. As always - a massive thank you to the Kenshi community, we’ll have a new Spotlight video for you soon. Remember to catch us in our Discord, follow us on the socials and sign up to our newsletter.

Here’s to hoping you find a rare pause to down your tools and take stock; a fleeting breath between berserker screams and the gnashing of cannibal teeth to ponder another year’s end. Perhaps you’ll hunker down by the fire’s crackle, cook up a cut of gutter meat, open a can of grog and lean into the warmth of your loyal bonedog’s embrace. But don’t linger too long - out here, peace is just a mirage, danger always rides the horizon and the only thing coming down the chimney is trouble. Preposterous post-apocalyptic prose aside, we mean it - whether you’re “casual” Kenshi crew (is that a thing?), a hardcore wasteland warrior or a cherished member of the masterful modding movement, maybe it’s time to marinate in a little more delightfully difficult Kenshi-flavoured danger this December. And we would love a peek at your adventures… Community Spotlight #19 Welp, you lot have done it again - you’ve gone and graced us with a veritable smorgasbord of delicious Kenshi delights. We’ve compiled a bunch of our favourite bits seen across the socials and Discord in our latest Community Spotlight video, so sit back and enjoy.

I once read that it’s bad practice from a marketing perspective to say “it’s ready when it’s ready”, but honestly, that kinda sums it up. Anything else until we’ve a release window for you is just sugar-coating, and we’d rather not do that. Besides, when have we behaved how devs are supposed to do? We reckons that “it’s ready when it’s ready” is the best approach. So bear with us because the wait will be worth it. Why so little news? It's been a long while since we updated you on Kenshi 2. We had a bit of a change of tack and switched focus to getting all our ducks in a row for the betterment of Kenshi 2’s development rather than constantly drip-feeding you content, bit-by-bit. The reality is that every time we put something out on Kenshi 2 it requires a lot of back and forth, double checking, and long, cross-departmental discussions on whether to reveal it or not. We need to ensure we’re not spoiling too much, that the reveals fit in with our long term plan, and that the content looks as close to the end product as possible so people know we're giving this prequel the love that it deserves. This is hard when you’re working with a team of perfectionists consistently improving their work. It pulls us away from development and it can ultimately risk ruining our best reveals before they’re ready. Discovery will play a huge part of the Kenshi 2 experience, and while it’s a lot of fun for us to show off new stuff, it kills the joy of finding it in-game. We put a lotta love into our creations and we ain't gonna ruin it for clicks. So we’re gonna keep schtum on the majority of Kenshi 2’s content until we have a lot more mega-polished stuff to show you. Having said all that, we’ll still be sharing a few teases and updates as we go… So where are we at? {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4597640/18e913a37cc0fc30395f941fbe964c5f8f91275a.jpg Since your last major Kenshi 2 update we’ve hired a Producer.

We have previously summarised some of the content of this update in this post when we launched 1.0.60, but we had a couple of issues that meant we rolled it back into the experimental branch while we fixed those bugs. We'll continue to release any potentially useful updates to the Forgotten Construction Set as we update it internally to help us build Kenshi 2. . If you experience any issues after the update, please ensure you have read through this post and tried all known fixes. If you’re still having issues then read this post on how to report crashes or bugs and make a post in the Lo-Fi Games forum, ensuring that you’re nice to our lovely moderators. Please note that we are almost exclusively focused on developing Kenshi’s prequel: Kenshi 2, so fixes to long-standing bugs in the original title are very unlikely at this stage. Bug reports will help us identify any potential issues caused by the 1.0.64 update. Below is the exhaustive list of updates that the main branch is receiving, compiling versions 1.0.56 - 1.0.64: Version 1.0.56 Japanese translation update Version 1.0.57 (FCS 2.1) Added documentation for FCS Adapted from our own in-house documentation Non-comprehensive, but it's a start! Added improved item search functionality Recursive property and reference searching E.g. find squads with more than 10 skeletons (In Squads section) squad.v0 > 10; squad.race = skeleton find research items with ingredients with values over 1000 cats (In Research section) cost.value > 1000 Building shells requiring construction materials with ingredients that have a value over 100 cats (In Building Shell section) construction.ingredients.value > 100 Added ability to search using Regex E.g. Find all dialogue lines with numbers in text (In _lines section) text ? (\b+\b) Significantly improved performance of item filtering Added an "Everything" section to search through all items at once Added a new panel when translating conversations Now displays what dialogue package references the conversation being translated as well as what event trigger can start this conversation Added additional functionality to the "Set field" window Can now remove references in addition to adding them Can bulk modify values with addition, subtraction, division and multiplication E.g. Can now select all research items and halve the amount of items required to complete Can select any number of weapons and multiply bleed damage multipliers by 1.5 Added spell check feature Works for any multi line item property E.g. Descriptions for items, races, and buildings Dialogue lines Added option in merge window to show previously skipped changes Added multi line display on single lines for change list and merge mod windows Added ability to open items from the merge window Added tree view for notes Dialogue lines now parented to conversations Added ability to more easily navigate merge and todo trees wit...Community Spotlight #15Dec 22, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsAs the year comes to a close and we recover from our Christmas party, we’d like to thank everyone for continuing to your Kenshi love through mods, screenshots and fanart.

As September bids adieu, we’re back with a fresh Community Spotlight, a Halloween-themed competition and a superb new knitted sweater available for pre-order! It’s a Discord Spooky Screenshot Competition {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4597640/9b996b1f05f9de3f1be60b270fdf22d3c5db26a9.jpg Kenshi can be a creepy game at points, so we thought it’d be fun to challenge you folks to send us your best spooky screenshots. Perhaps you’ll snap the shrouded Fog Islands, some blood spiders coming out of nowhere, or simply the terrifying Lord Phoenix himself. Whatever you choose, a little exploration of the map should give you plenty of subjects to select to be in with a chance of winning a Kenshi t-shirt of your choice, and the glory of being declared as the top spooky virtual photographer! To participate, all you have to do is upload your screenshot to our Official Discord server under the channel named "🖥screenshots🖥"! There will be two winners plus a bonus runner-up (so three in total) across two categories: modded and unmodded, so please specify what category your screenshot is under when you share it, or it won’t be counted. To vote for your favourite screenshot, react to it with the “: Fogchamp :” emote and the top three screenshots with the most amount of votes from the community by October 31st will win! (don’t vote for your own, we’ll send Fog Men after you.) We look forward to seeing all of your submissions over the next few weeks! All submissions must adhere to the competition terms and conditions and the Official Kenshi Discord Server rules found in the “📏rules-and-faq📏” channel. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4597640/db52d3d3fcee5b28f079a241c64b3cde956b1125.jpg Knitted Kenshi Sweater Pre-Orders - grab one at a discounted price before 30th October! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4597640/744478be0ae179db10ff5bc8f5f8ca25c4ce6575.jpg We are thrilled to announce the arrival of this beautifully designed cosy Kenshi sweater just in time for the holiday period!

Pre-order before 30th October and you can snag this snuggly sweater at a slashed price of $59.99 and guarantee a pre-Christmas Day delivery if you’re based in the US. Please refer to RobaRoba for non-US delivery times and any other shipping information.

Please stay tuned as we finalise the selections, and help us choose the best translators for your languages!
