Hey Kenshi crew,
We’ve just released a new video: Kenshi: Meet the Makers. It's an informal look behind the scenes with Chris Hunt - creator of Kenshi and founder of Lo-Fi Games, and Nat Mikkelson - Lo-Fi’s Managing Director and Lead Writer on Kenshi 1 and Kenshi 2.
Simply put: the video is a short conversation to give you a little insight on our thinking, and a glimpse into the creators’ minds while Kenshi 2’s development continues behind the scenes.
You’ll find some chatter from Chris and Nat on how Lo-Fi Games began, where the ideas for Kenshi came from, and what it’ll mean for Kenshi 2 players to experience a game set 1000 years before the first one.
There’s some talk on who Kenshi is really for (and why you might need a twisted sense of humour to enjoy it), why Kenshi doesn’t make you the chosen one, and why we’re still keeping our cards close to our chest when it comes to Kenshi 2 details. There’s loads more in there, but it’s best if you just give it a watch.

We’ve translated subtitles to the video in the following languages:
- French
- German
- Italian
- Japanese

English subtitles are also available!
Why are we sharing this now?
It felt like the right time to check in; to reflect on where Kenshi came from and what sort of world we’re building next.
It’s also a rare chance to hear directly from Chris and Nat themselves. Their dynamic and shared vision is at the heart of everything we do at Lo-Fi Games, and this is the first time we’ve put them in front of the camera together.
If you’ve been with us since Kenshi 1, or if you’ve only just discovered the game, this video is a small glimpse into the mindset that’s shaped the world of Kenshi; from its humble beginnings to the many-legged monster it’s become.
