Today was the first day of this year's CitizenCon, which also provided important information, as well as several details: the single-player campaign got an official release date.
Star Citizen is probably one of the most divisive games of all time It was made It was under development, managed to collect a record amount of support ($700 million until May 2024), has a record development time (the project started in 2011), and in addition, it has not yet been revealed when the work will be ready.
We've already known for years that two games are already being made, and in addition to the Star Citizen online mode, Squadron 42 will be a single-player story. On the first day of this year's CitizenCom, it finally became clear when the solo campaign might arrive. If you have 9 hours to watch the entire day's recording, you will certainly be enriched with a lot of useful information about the entire Star Citizen universe, but for the sake of convenience, the video associated with the part about Squadron 42 begins.
Chris Roberts himself leads the live gameplay, giving us an insight into the current state of the program from the beginning of the game, so we can admire the realization of characters, equipment, spaceships, gameplay details, as well as the representatives and aircraft of the enemy race and some bugs. Squadron 42 lasts about 90 minutes, and by the end of the material, Roberts says we can count on 30-40 hours of playtime and a 2026 release.
