Star Citizen’s Squadron 42 Finally Enters Final Phase of Development
It has been over ten years since the phenomenal Kickstarter campaign for the space simulator Star Citizen, which raised over 13 billion Czech koruna for its creators. During this time, fans have been promised grandiose features and content, but have only received a functional prototype without much substance.
One of the highlights of the project is the involvement of actor Mark Hamill.
However, those who contributed to the campaign primarily for the promised story-driven spin-off Squadron 42 have been left in an even worse situation. They have only been given a polished trailer filled with Hollywood celebrities (see our article), leaving them empty-handed. But it seems that they may finally get what they’ve been waiting for.
Chris Roberts, the main author of the game, announced at this year’s CitizenCon that they have completed the basic framework of the game and will now focus on fine-tuning and optimization.
“In the final phase, we are fully concentrating on optimizing and refining all aspects of the gaming experience to offer you an unprecedented cinematic adventure,” Roberts delighted the impatient fans, and to top it off, he presented an almost half-hour-long demonstration. And it did not disappoint.
It appears that players may finally get the long-awaited sequel to Wing Commander. In addition to stunning graphics and battles on planetary surfaces and in space, the developers are also enticing players with the participation of Hollywood actors such as Gillian Anderson, Mark Hamill, Gary Oldman, Mark Strong, John Rhys-Davies, and many others.
However, patience is still required as this final phase could potentially take several more years. Nevertheless, we now know that the creators are not just running an elaborate scam, as some fans feared. Something is truly in the works.
