Chris Roberts’ new game is Star Citizen
Chris Roberts, creator of Wing Commander, has revealed his new project, first teased last month. The game, he says, will “breathe new life into space combat games,” and is set to be be fully unveiled today at GDC Online in Austin, Texas.
Star Citizen has been in development on PC for a year now, and promises several components Roberts’ games are known for, notably a detailed world, “sophisticated story,” and “visceral, heart-pounding space combat.” Whether or not the game will feature talking lion-people remains to be seen.
Roberts is using crowd funding to finance the game, via his own website. The game will likely need another two years of development, though users who back the project will have access to “a version of the game” next year. Star Citizen will be sold as a one-time purchase, though players will also be able to purchase in-game items.
