The annual Star Citizen CitizenCon event is set to take place this week, set to commence on 8 October 2022 at 3.00pm UTC. For the second year in a row given the uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic during planning, the entire event will be run digitally via the official Star Citizen Twitch Page, with Cloud Imperium Games encouraging all supporters to “grab some space popcorn, crack open a fresh can of Pips, and [they’ll] see you there”.
The itinerary for the one-day digital convention is heavily oriented towards the “Journey to 4.0”, the first major jump in Star Citizen’s Alpha testing since the release of 3.0 since December 2017. The event schedule can be found HERE, or by scrolling down:

We’ve come a long way since our first planetary landing zone, and here you’ll get a first glimpse at how everything learned since then is being re-applied to this walled, polluted city.

How the upcoming Resource Management System will change life in the ’verse as we know it, from combat to player homesteading and allow for true multicrew gameplay.
