Wing Commander spiritual successor Star Citizen is getting closer to its full release, as creator Chris Roberts announced this week that the all backers to the game's $43 million crowdfunding campaign will get access to Arena Commander, Star Citizen's single-player dogfighting mode, staring May 29.
At launch, players will have acecss to two modes: free flight and vanduul swarm, a horde mode for the Star Citizen universe. A lot more additions are coming at a later, as-of-yet unannounced date, including AI co-op ships, larger spacecraft and other game modes. As it's both a single-player experience and an MMO – i.e., a very complicated game, Star Citizen has no formal release date yet, but Robert and his teams have been updating with progress on this very impressive-looking space sim regularly via the game's official website. Check back for more news and announcements.
