This Week in Star Citizen 40/2022

Happy Monday, everyone!

This coming weekend, it’s time to celebrate all things Star Citizen and, most importantly, YOU, the community that makes everything in this universe possible. This year’s all-digital CitizenCon will happen on Saturday, October 8, starting at 3pm UTC! Get ready for an event filled with exciting content, including development updates, giveaways, and more! As a thank you for helping us build the best damn community in gaming, we’re once again gifting a Digital Goodies Pack for FREE to all backers. We also invite you to join us at the “Babbage Bash” after CitizenCon, the unofficial after party with ATMO esports, where players and developers will clash and take to the ice to race for ultimate glory.

Find out more about everything CitizenCon 2952 on the official page.

This week also kicks off our annual Halloween (Day of the Vara) celebration… and this is one year you won’t want to miss!

Alpha 3.18 is making further progress towards a release to Evocati on PTU. We’ve been testing heavily with our internal QA groups across our studios with great results, with a quick turnaround on bugs being tracked down during general server behavior. A first release to the test server is being evaluated daily.

Last but not least, we also wanted to thank the community for the warm welcome at their Bar Citizen in Paris last weekend! We had a fantastic time engaging with members of our French community – Merci pour l’hospitalité! And also in Singapore, where we enjoyed a tremendous turnout of awesome people! Thank you so much for having us!

Now, let’s see what’s going on this week:

On Tuesday, the Narrative team will treat us to their weekly lore post.

Wednesday, we’ll post the September Monthly Reports for both Star Citizen and Squadron 42, the latter delivered via email newsletter.

Thursday won’t see an episode of Inside Star Citizen as we brought the quarterly season to a close but, fear not, the show will resume in just a few weeks! Speaking of fear – A whole month of terror is crawling closer towards the ‘verse, as our Day of the Vara celebrations are starting!

On Friday, you’ll see updates to the Subscriber Vault, and the weekly RSI Newsletter will be delivered to your inbox.

It’ll be showtime at 3pm UTC on Saturday, as we’ll celebrate our all-digital CitizenCon 2952 with you on our Twitch channel!

Have a fantastic week!
