Star Citizen – Feature-Creep or a major hit?
- What is Star Citizen? Star Citizen is a space simulation that started as an indie project but has now reached dimensions where even AAA studios would say: “Wow, we are really pushing it.”
- How has the development gone so far? With the crowdfunding millions, the ambitions of Star Citizen grew. Fans say: “That’s great, boundaries of what is possible are shifting.” Critics warn of “feature creep.” In 2017, Alpha 3.0 was released – a milestone for Star Citizen, but still far from the game fans desire.
Feature Creep or the Next Big Thing?
- What will Star Citizen be at its best? Even at its best, Star Citizen will not fulfill all the wishes fans have. But it will certainly come close and push gaming forward. It will be an impressive game that allows pilots to trade, fight, and live in this universe.
- What will Star Citizen be at its worst? Even at its worst, Star Citizen will be impressive, but it will not have the impact and influence fans expect. Instead, one might say: “Yes, some good ideas, but somehow the spark just doesn’t catch.”

- What is planned for Star Citizen in 2018? Four solid updates are planned to be released quarterly. Additionally, progress on the single-player campaign Squadron 42 is expected to make Star Citizen more tangible. Users can already play it in Alpha 3.0.
