Cloud Imperium Games has held its CitizenCon event – albeit in digital form – and it showed off a number of new features coming to the space game.
However, there was no live gameplay demo and no release dates offered for any part of the controversial, long-in development game.
And Squadron 42, the story-based game set to star Hollywood actors, was a no-show.
CitizenCon kicked off with a brief message from CIG founder and CEO Chris Roberts, who talked about the challenge of shifting some 720 people to working from home as a result of the pandemic. Despite this, Roberts said, 2020 and 2021 have been strong for the game, with the number of daily players on average two to three times higher than at this point in 2019.
