13 Facts About Star Citizen

Star Citizen is an in-development multiplayer space trading and combat simulation game.

Star Citizen has become highly criticized during its long production process, both for the fact that there is still no clear release date and for the challenges backers who have abandoned the project have faced in receiving a refund.

Star Citizen combines features from space simulator, first person shooter, and massively multiplayer online genres across its four playable modes.

Three of the modules, Hangar, Arena Commander, and Star Citizen Marine, provide examples of gameplay features that would appear in the Persistent Universe module, but have their own mechanics.

Star Citizen Marine is an in-fiction ground combat simulator, allowing players to fight each other with conventional weaponry.
