Will there be early access? I know i was a bit of an asshole back in the day, and still am, but one of my favorite memories is reporting a bug, uploading a save file, and having it fixed the very next day.
There will be some sort of open beta period, to focus on fixing issues and gathering feedback. But it will be much shorter than Kenshi 1's, and only after the game is mostly complete already.

Nope, no official word on any such time frames. They don't want to make promises they can't keep, so they're just staying quiet until it's closer.

I'm guessing around 2 to 4 more years, plus or minus 2 years.
this is about as close of an estimate as we will get for the time being.

They are currently keeping most information under wraps like what most game studios do.
we most likely will start getting teases 6 months before they release. which is standard in the game industry.
Do you believe the sexes should be equal?
Oh heavens no.
Then Men would become unmanageable

Hey there! Any updates on Kenshi 2? Has it been shelved or canceled? Or did they just drop the forum and social media stuff?

Still coming, and they've even recently put out a job opening for a new publishing related position for it. So while it's still some time out, they're clearly looking towards release now.

Howdy Lo-Fi, your whole posse's been waiting through this long drought for Kenshi 2, and our faith in y'all ain't wavered one bit. Just one little ol' screenshot would be like the first drop of rain for us, and we reckon it'd be enough to start a prairie fire of hype that'll remind the whole world what's comin'.

Images will be shown when the Devs are ready to show them.
they will most likely be posted on Steam First.
but should not expect those for several more years yet.
