Today we’re bringing Kenshi 1.0.64 and FCS 2.14 out of experimental and into the main branch.

We have previously summarised some of the content of this update in this post when we launched 1.0.60, but we had a couple of issues that meant we rolled it back into the experimental branch while we fixed those bugs.

We'll continue to release any potentially useful updates to the Forgotten Construction Set as we update it internally to help us build Kenshi 2. [Edit - for those of you wondering, the FCS is a bespoke supplemental tool and is not engine-specific; we're still building Kenshi 2 in Unreal Engine as previously stated].

If you experience any issues after the update, please ensure you have read through this post and tried all known fixes. If you’re still having issues then read this post on how to report crashes or bugs and make a post in the Lo-Fi Games forum, ensuring that you’re nice to our lovely moderators.

Please note that we are almost exclusively focused on developing Kenshi’s prequel: Kenshi 2, so fixes to long-standing bugs in the original title are very unlikely at this stage. Bug reports will help us identify any potential issues caused by the 1.0.64 update.

Below is the exhaustive list of updates that the main branch is receiving, compiling versions 1.0.56 - 1.0.64:

Hi Kenshi crew, we’re back!

The spooky month is now over and we hope Kenshi's tricks were but a whisper, and its treats a haunting delight!

Today we’re sharing a shiny new Community Spotlight video and announcing the Discord Halloween screenshot winners.

Big thanks to everyone who submitted a spooky screenshot to our competition in the Official Kenshi Discord. So many of you shared some fantastic shots and it was great to see them all come in!

The winner for our unmodded category is Dr.PyroBlazer with this shot of their crew taking on maybe one too many Fogmen. Do you think they’re walking away from this?



The winner for the modded category is Alexrrazabal with this shot of their character in some pretty rad armour, we wouldn’t want to get on the wrong side of this guy.



Not forgetting our runner-up, Slowline! They submitted this brilliant capture of a creature lurking in the fog. We certainly wouldn’t want to be in their situation!



T-shirts will be on their way to the winners very soon! We’d also like to say a big welcome to all our new Discord members, do make yourselves at home!

If you’re not yet in the official Discord server, come join the community for Kenshi chats plus the chance to take part in future competitions and be in with more chances to win Kenshi goodies!




We’d like to bring your attention to a newly released Italian full-game fan translation from the dedicated team over at Survival Games Italia.

This mod of the week selection from last week is now available over on Steam Workshop!

A massive thank you to everyone at Survival Games Italia for making Kenshi accessible to all Italian players. Special shout-outs to Ruiner and Aeneas Romae who contributed many hours alongside Wandering, Giumaho, wolvesimon, Freakkina, Godran65, ELE from Streets and ruttalisk87.

Hey there Kenshi fans!

As September bids adieu, we’re back with a fresh Community Spotlight, a Halloween-themed competition and a superb new knitted sweater available for pre-order!

It’s a Discord Spooky Screenshot Competition

Kenshi can be a creepy game at points, so we thought it’d be fun to challenge you folks to send us your best spooky screenshots. Perhaps you’ll snap the shrouded Fog Islands, some blood spiders coming out of nowhere, or simply the terrifying Lord Phoenix himself. Whatever you choose, a little exploration of the map should give you plenty of subjects to select to be in with a chance of winning a Kenshi t-shirt of your choice, and the glory of being declared as the top spooky virtual photographer!

To participate, all you have to do is upload your screenshot to our Official Discord server under the channel named "🖥screenshots🖥"!

There will be two winners plus a bonus runner-up (so three in total) across two categories: modded and unmodded, so please specify what category your screenshot is under when you share it, or it won’t be counted.

To vote for your favourite screenshot, react to it with the “: Fogchamp :” emote and the top three screenshots with the most amount of votes from the community by October 31st will win! (don’t vote for your own, we’ll send Fog Men after you.)

We look forward to seeing all of your submissions over the next few weeks!

All submissions must adhere to the competition terms and conditions and the Official Kenshi Discord Server rules found in the “📏rules-and-faq📏” channel.






We are thrilled to announce the arrival of this beautifully designed cosy Kenshi sweater just in time for the holiday period! Featuring a cornucopia of creatures and races from the cataclysmic chronicles of Kenshi, this comfortable light-knit sweater is (much like a Bonedog) not just for Christmas.

Pre-order before 30th October and you can snag this snuggly sweater at a slashed price of $59.99 and guarantee a pre-Christmas Day delivery if you’re based in the US. Please refer to RobaRoba for non-US delivery times and any other shipping information.

Orders made after 30th October will be individually manufactured and priced at $69.99, and unfortunately aren’t guaranteed to arrive before Christmas Day. Please be mindful of those shipping dates if you’re planning on surprising a loved one with some Kenshi knitwear for the festive season.




This September saw no slow-down to the huge array of community content creation: we had some great fun coming across some fantastic screenshots, fanart submissions and mods in the Steam Workshop. Feel free to leave a comment below with your favourite picks or your suggestions and submissions for next month’s Community Spotlight.

As some of you may have noticed in our posts, we are currently looking for Korean, Turkish, Polish, and Italian translators to localise Kenshi 2. They will join a team of translators who have started to localise the game into Japanese, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil) and Chinese (simplified) last year.

The closing date is 1st October 2023, so if you are an experienced games translator who loves to translate dialogue, please apply at http://lofigames.com/jobs.

We’ve found some fantastic translators by involving the community in the final selection process last year, and we are repeating the same this time around. Please stay tuned as we finalise the selections, and help us choose the best translators for your languages!

For those of you who are interested in Lo-Fi Games’s unique localisation process, check out our blog from last June.

That’s right, Kenshi is currently 55% off on Steam until September 18th, the perfect time to pick it up for yourself or your friend who keeps it on their wishlist!

Thank you all for taking the time to read our blog post today!
