There's no doubt that the unreachable
Star Citizen is a huge success as Chris Roberts' multiplayer online space-exploration game is already the most crowd-funded game in human existence. After its initial round of crowdfunding finished back in 2012, leaving developer Cloud Imperium with $6.2 million in funding, it’s gone on to raise over $200,000,000 with more than 2 million backers.
Surpassing a whopping $200 million milestone means that
Star Citizen is currently the fourth most expensive video game in history right after
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Grand Theft Auto V and
Star Wars: The Old Republic. Originally slated for a 2014 release,
Star Citizen has been delayed countless times, sliding from 2014 to 2015, then to 2016 - now it no longer has a set release date.
It looks like a Hollywood blockbuster budget is still not enough to finish the development, as the latest update of Cloud Imperium Games' dream gives you a unique opportunity to buy a new ship pack that contains 117 craft - nearly every ship in the game, along with 163 extra items, including upgrades, skins and in-game posters. What's the price of this luxury? Well, this
Legatus Pack costs only $27,000.
From the mind of Chris Roberts, acclaimed creator of Wing Commander and Freelancer, comes STAR CITIZEN. 100% crowd funded, Star Citizen aims to create a living, breathing science fiction universe with unparalleled immersion… and you’re invited to follow every step of development. More than a space combat sim, more than a first person shooter and more than an MMO: Star Citizen is the First Person Universe that will allow for unlimited gameplay.
Despite being announced six years ago, Star Citizen doesn't have a release date yet.
