Star Citizen 2013

About this game

Announced in 2012 by Chris Roberts, this space game for the PC has been in early access since 2017 and is not out, with no date given for the end of its alpha. Its episodic single player half, Squadron 42, which Roberts calls his spiritual successor to Wing Commander, was first meant for 2015, then announced for 2026 and in 2026 put back to a window in the second quarter of 2027. The first campaign raised six million dollars, and by May 2026 the funding passed a billion, now coming mostly from sales of ships and subscriptions, which draws the charge of pay to win. The Persistent Universe is what exists: a dozen and more planets and moons to fly down to and walk on, trading, bounties, mining and missions, with fights on foot and in the cockpit. What is there is a working piece of a very large promise.
