Kerbal Space Program’s highly popular expansion Breaking Ground is coming to consoles in December.

Within the expansion, players will have three new elements added to the game; exploration, experimentation, and building new technology.

A major addition with Breaking Ground is found on the celestial bodies scattered throughout the solar system. Meteors, craters, rock outcroppings, cryovolcanoes, and more now populate the landscape. Also coming with the expansion are new gadgets like the Rover Arm that players can use to collect important scientific data. With the Rover Arm, players can also collect minerals, seismometers to study geological shifts, and measure atmospheric changes with weather stations.

According to developers Private Division, players will see a host of new and interesting surface features to find like the plumes emerging from a cryovolcano on Vall to the craters on Moho. There are plenty of new discoveries to be made! In the expansion, players can study these new formations, craters, and minerals which will reward them with insightful scientific data to further their reach in the solar system.

Kerbal Space Program: Breaking Ground Expansion will also provide brand new robotic parts that will allow for even more complex crafts and vehicles than ever possible before in the Kerbolar system. Players will have rotors, hinges, pistons, and more in a variety of sizes that all provide advanced motor functions with limitless potential and the definite possibility of hilarious explosive failures along the way.

Kerbal Space Program released on PC in 2015. In the game, players take charge of the space program for the alien race known as the Kerbals. You have access to an array of parts to assemble fully-functional spacecraft that flies based on realistic aerodynamic and orbital physics.
