Greetings in 15 Languages

The world speaks many tongues, and now so does Voyager 2. We're delighted to announce that the game now supports 15 languages: English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Polish, Indonesian, Turkish, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, and Thai. A tremendous amount of work went into making this possible, but there's always a chance we missed something. If you have any feedback about the translations or notice something's not quite right, please bring it to our attention via the in-game feedback buttons or on our Steam discussion board.

In Case You Missed It

Over the past year, we've been quietly working to enhance Voyager 2 with new features, bug fixes, and performance improvements. From gamepad controls to accessibility options and more, we're continuing to support the game and taking a long view of the future.

What's Next

We're planning a Linux release for full native Steam Deck support, as well as the addition of Steam Achievements. With this release, we've also decided to move away from our non-traditional version numbering scheme to better align with player expectations. This new 1.100 release marks the most significant update since launch, with major overhauls to support localization and future improvements. Godspeed, Voyagers! steamthis

Voyager 2 is part of the Steam Space Exploration Fest, and we're celebrating with our biggest discount ever! If you've been on the fence, now is the perfect time to jump in! Launch Voyager and other specialized space probes on a Grand Tour of the Solar System, carefully aiming your trajectory to scan, orbit, and land on planets. Learn the secrets of gravitational slingshots to reach distant targets, built out a Deep Space Network to relay signals, and transmit your findings back to Earth! We've been hard at work since launch: releasing a macOS version, improving gamepad controls, and adding new accessibility options. So explore Voyager 2 for yourself at its best price ever September 2-9 at Steam Space Exploration Fest!

New Feature

There are plenty of challenges to be found in Voyager 2. But if you ever find yourself stuck on a mission, sometimes it's a good idea to take a step back and look at it with fresh eyes later. That's why, in order to give players more flexibility in the order they play missions, we're introducing skips. Press and hold the circle where your record would appear when you win a mission (bottom left of the mission select screen) to skip it and move on to the next mission! Come back later and complete the mission to free up the skip to use again. Of course, with such a powerful tool there are a few, uh, provisos, a couple of quid pro quos:

Rule #1

You only get three [strike]wishes[/strike] skips. (But completing a skipped mission restores that skip to use again)

Rule #2

You can't skip a mission with a tutorial until you've played the tutorial once.

Rule #3

You can't skip the final mission. Good luck completing them all!

Patch Notes

• Increased the sensitivity area of slingshot by 50%
• Probes now fade out if they get too close to the camera during a replay
• On the mission select screen, the next available mission is now selected automatically
• Added explanation popups for new skip feature and for favoriting replays on the replay menu
• Updated tutorials to change instructions depending on player's input method (mouse & keyboard, gamepad/controller, or touchscreen)

Bugfixes

• Fixed an issue in the Research menu where the chosen rocket would sometimes change on its own
• Fixed an issue in the Replay menu where some replays couldn't be selected using gamepad controls
• Fixed an issue where a corrupted save file would prevent players from progressing in the game
• Fixed bugs related to the "reset save data" feature

It's time to fuel up your boosters and start plotting your trajectories, because Voyager 2 is now ready for liftoff! The space program is on the verge of collapse due to budget cuts, until a stalwart rocket scientist discovers a storage closet filled to the brim with Voyager space probes. Use your wits and real principles of rocket science to solve devious gravity-bending puzzles and save the program. Experiment to find the perfect launch parameters and watch your probe soar through the cosmos on a mission to collect and relay scientific data. What's your reward? Furthering humanity's knowledge of the universe, restoring the public's interest in space travel, and of course, a beautiful replay of what your probe actually saw on during its flyby!

Watch the developer play Voyager 2 and talk about the game! Probes will be launched. Planets will be scanned. Questions will be answered. And maybe the real treasure will be the flybys we make along the way.
