Factorio fans, mark your calendars for 2025! Following the massive success of the “Space Age” expansion in late 2024, the Factorio development team has big plans for the year ahead. Here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming updates.
What’s in Store for 2025?
After the release of the “Space Age” expansion on October 21, 2024, Factorio version 2.0 received numerous updates, including performance enhancements and bug fixes. Now, the developers are setting their sights on Factorio version 2.1, which promises to:
- Introduce final touches and additional features not included in version 2.0.
- Continue refining the game’s mechanics and expanding the gameplay experience.
- Ensure long-term stability and support for the “Space Age” expansion.
Development of version 2.1 is slated to begin in early 2025, following a couple of months dedicated to fine-tuning the recent updates.
A Glimpse into the Future
In addition to the upcoming updates, Factorio’s lead developer, Kovarex, has hinted at ambitions beyond Factorio. During a recent development blog, he shared thoughts on creating a new game that could revolutionize gaming, much like Factorio did for the factory-building genre. The concept? Something “related to [World of Warcraft] in a similar way as to how Factorio is related to Minecraft.”
While details are sparse, it’s clear that the Factorio team’s creative energy is far from exhausted.
