Star Citizen is the most crowd funded game in 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 $184,731,621 with more than 2 million funders, meaning that
Star Citizen is currently the fourth most expensive video game in history beating
Destiny, all
Battlefields,
Watch_Dogs and many more.
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 an expected release date. That's what happens when your slogan is "
I don't want to build a game. I want to build a universe," but hey, there's a story-based single-player campaign set in the
Star Citizen universe titled Squadron 42 with Mark Hamill coming.
The latest gameplay footage released by IGN focuses on picking up a box. As you probably guessed, the mission is really boring to watch and Chris Roberts known for
Wing Commander and
Freelancer should try to find a way to avoid the
No Man's Sky situation with no, or boring content. Cloud Imperium Games share Hello Games' ambition and whether it translates to a final product remains to be seen.
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 still doesn't have a release date.
