Star Citizen

Cloud Imperium Games kicked off Star Citizen's Free Fly event, which means you can try the game's 3.7.1. version out for free until 3 November. Players have five ships to choose from, which includes the recently-added Banu Defender.

Yesterday, Star Citizen marked seven years since its announcement and what better way to celebrate than with the game's Alpha 3.7 update, which brings new cave locations for lucrative mining, shared missions, Banu Defender and much more.

As they revealed in a recent blog post, Cloud Imperium Games will be delaying the singleplayer, story-based portion of Star Citizen's experience by three months, which they chalked off to a promising concept of staggered development.

Cloud Imperium Games have been at the receiving end of criticism regarding Star Citizen's massive funding that was seemingly squandered over the years. The new expensive ship announced during an extravagant dinner is not helping the look.

In the latest episode of Star Citizen Live, Cloud Imperium Games' Jared Huckaby and a few other devs took a detailed look at one of the game's most luxurious ships - the 890 Jump - as well as answered some development-related questions.

Cloud Imperium Games has released another Star Citizen video update, showcasing the first of Banu ships that should be implemented soon, as well as some visual effects updates, like those to dust clouds, particle collisions and more.

Cloud Imperium Games have rolled out a hefty Alpha 3.6 update to Star Citizen that bring a retooled law system, fleshed-out black market economy with specialised delivery missions, VTOL hover mode, new vehicles and weapons, and more.

As part of Origin Celebration, which lets backers fly any Origin ship for free until 20 June 2019, Cloud Imperium Games rolled out two trailers, showcasing the luxurious 300 series, the 890 Jump model and the new web customisation.

Cloud Imperium Games have posted a video previewing Star Citizen's upcoming, and very promising if we may add, features, including the law system, the Esperia Prowler dropship and ship customisation, the last being just the first step.

Epic Games Store exclusives are not a strategy that benefits gamers in a direct way but it did help a known crowdfunding issue bubble back to the surface - the still unresolved question of developer accountability and backer trust.
