With uncertainty around the coronavirus and where we will be in October 2021, video game developer Cloud Imporium Games has confirmed that their annual Star Citizen fan convention will be going digital-only this year as well. Titled CitizenCon 2951, backers and other interested parties can tune in for free on 9 October 2021 for a day of panels, entertainment and hopefully a presentation which will outline in-development work due to launch in the coming years.
Information on CitizenCon 2951 is still limited, but more information will be rolled out in the coming months. According to CIG, this event “promises to be out of this world, or perhaps out of this system”, and will give “some exciting opportunities for you to be a part of the show”.
In development by Cloud Imperium Games and their studios across North America and Europe, Star Citizen is being helmed by Wing Commander (1990s) creator Chris Roberts. The game has currently been in a long-term alpha phase with no confirmed release date. Despite this, the studio has raised more than $350 million USD through on-going crowdfunding. Please keep in mind should you decide to purchase towards Star Citizen, that this is an incomplete project and that you are pledging towards an extended crowdfunding campaign with no 100% guarantee of a finished product.
