Space Engineers: 13 Years of the Need to Create

23/10/2026 | Space engineers

Hello, Engineers!

On October 23, 2013, Space Engineers launched into Steam Early Access. Thirteen years later, we are still building, still experimenting, and still discovering what happens when we put engineering tools into your hands.

This anniversary belongs to everyone who has been part of that journey. The veteran who remembers their first flight with the Red Ship. The builder sharing their first blueprint. The modder solved a problem nobody had thought to tackle. The friend who says, “You have to try this game,” and then spends the evening helping a new Engineer get off the ground. To all Keen Software House team members, fellow former and current colleagues.

Thank you for thirteen years of creativity, support, patience, and wonderfully ambitious ideas. We could not have done this without you.

An Anniversary Gift

To celebrate thirteen years of Space Engineers, we are bringing a familiar face into a new chapter.

Everyone who owns Space Engineers will receive the “Ancient Engineer” character skin in Space Engineers 2 as our anniversary gift.

Inspired by the familiar appearance of the Space Engineers 1 Engineer, the Ancient Engineer suit lets you carry a little of that history into Space Engineers 2. It is our way of thanking the players who helped us reach this anniversary, whether you have been engineering with us since 2013 or joined the community more recently.

A new frontier. A familiar suit. The same need to create.
