If like me you were disappointed when the developers of the awesome Star Citizen game announced last month that they were putting the first-person shooter (FPS) section of the game on hold indefinitely, you will be pleased to know that today the development team behind Star Citizen have indicated you can expect the FPS section of the game to be launched shortly after next month’s Gamescom.
Anticipated Launch Timeline
Chris Roberts, the visionary behind Star Citizen, explained to the Gamers Nexus website more details about the launch date and when we can likely expect to see the new gameplay addition to the Star Citizen space exploration game. In reality, we’re probably weeks off. We’re shooting to have FPS on the PTU round-about Gamescom or slightly after Gamescom. We’re really talking about people getting to play FPS in a matter of 3, 4, maybe 5 weeks.
This news comes as a relief to many fans who have been eagerly awaiting the FPS module, known as Star Marine. The delay had caused quite a stir in the gaming community, with many speculating about the reasons behind it. However, Roberts reassured fans that the delay was necessary to ensure the highest quality and to address some critical issues that were identified during the development process.
What to Expect from Star Marine
Star Marine is not just any ordinary FPS; it promises to bring a unique blend of tactical gameplay and immersive storytelling. Players can expect a variety of game modes, including team-based objectives and free-for-all combat scenarios. The developers have emphasized the importance of realism, with features such as zero-gravity combat and detailed weapon mechanics.
One of the standout features of Star Marine is its integration with the larger Star Citizen universe. Unlike traditional FPS games, Star Marine will allow players to seamlessly transition between space exploration and ground combat. This interconnected gameplay is expected to add a new layer of depth and immersion, making Star Citizen a truly groundbreaking experience.
