I'm not sure how much more enhanced you could make SS2, beyond what newDark + the existing mods already out do.

I asked on twitter if they port to KEX engine and Stephen liked it, i assume KEX engine port confirmed.

old news.. it was reported way back in june, guess most major sites missed that tweet..

But yeah, makes me wonder what they could possibly do to top the enhancements the community has brought over so many years now..

If they did an engine change, wouldn't that muck up every FM out there?

only two things - modern multiplayer, and console ports. not seeing them touching any resources as the purists and vanilla people would rip them apart.

most FMs and mods should work (unless they change how resource loading works), but they will require updates to work fully/properly, most likely (unless they replicate the dml/mtl system 1:1 in KEX).

as mentioned earlier, the most likely scenario is that you will use the EE build for MP, and patch up with the tool and go NewDark for everything else. so virtually no change from our end.
