Two years since the launch of Kickstarter campaign, space simulator video game Star Citizen development has gone a long way.
Although the release date may still be vaguely announced, developer Cloud Imperium Games has already made a new patch and a drivable spacecraft available for backers' alpha versions. Here's information available so far.
Star Citizen release date has been set on a vague 2016-developer Cloud Imperium Games has reportedly indicated approximations in releasing modules of the alpha version. A definite game release date will likely be announced soon after feedbacks have been gathered and changes have been made to improve Star Citizen. So for now, Star Citizen fans will have to settle for a 2016 release date schedule.
Cloud Imperium Games' Star Citizen is a combat simulator and space trading video game that also has FPS elements working in a massively multiplayer online game. In outer space, you have got your ship to deliver cargo and as you go on your way, Pirates attempt to victimize you.
Recent updates on the PC game Star Citizens have been unveiled online, including a new spacecraft made available for backers to test drive. The Hornet Spacecraft in Star Citizen is now unleashed to supporters with Star Citizen sharing in its official site, "for the next week, we're unlocking the Anvil Hornet for all backers to test. The Hornet is the civilian version of the F7A Hornet flown off of the elite Bengal carrier vanguard of the UEE Navy," according to the game's official site.
Other news on Star Citizen prior to the release date also reveals that the latest patch to the alpha version has been unleashed, "that allows players to explore various craft as Cloud Imperium developers get them 'hangar-ready'. AC version 0.9.2.2. adds the Anvil Gladiator to the mix, along with a drunk effect for your hangar's liquor cabinet. CIG encourages you to 'please drink responsibly'", reports Massively Joystiq.
