The most recent DLC pack for Star Citizen is about £46,000 (€53K/$58K). The most contentious add-on for the game, the Legatus DLC pack from developer Cloud Imperium Group, was first available for purchase five years ago at an eye-watering £21K ($27K). TweakTown noticed the most recent one, which is available for £46,000 and comes with everything from previous Legatus packs plus all the add-ons that have been published subsequently.
The website also informs users that Squadron 42 is currently under development and that Star Citizen is now playable in Alpha, with additional features and updates coming out as they are developed. Before confirming the price of €53,121.60 (equivalent to £45,712.88 / $58,163.42 at current rates), the official website states, ahead of all others, this definitive armada is an equal match to the noble title of Legatus Navium.
With more than 175 ships from all reputable manufacturers, this flawless collection which includes every ship ever released and imagined up to 2953 empowers fleet commanders to leave a lasting legacy and steer mankind toward a sustainable future. Q1 2024 will see the in-game release of the Karna Ascension Rifle.
Feel like investing £46K that you have hanging around? It might not be sufficient, though. It looks like you won’t even be able to purchase the pack until you achieve a specific Chairman’s Club level in Star Citizen, so you’ll need to stretch your money even further. IGN claims that in order to even be offered the option to purchase the Legatus pack, you must spend $10,000 on other in-game items, which equates to £7.8K / €9.1K.
Facts Highlighted by Players
Players highlight the fact that you only need one $45 ship to play the game and that everything can be earned in the game by doing group content with other players, or strictly solo. There are more affordable packs available. Turbulent, a Montreal-based firm, was purchased by Cloud Imperium Group, the developer of Star Citizen, last year. Since 2012, Cloud Imperium and Turbulent have been working jointly on Star Citizen.
Following the acquisition, all 189 Turbulent workers remained in place and Cloud Imperium currently employs over 1100 individuals around the world working on its ambitious projects, including those in Austin, Frankfurt, Los Angeles, Manchester, and Montreal. The present management group of the studio also stayed in place.
Despite the fact that the massively multiplayer online game took well over ten years to build, Star Citizen faced criticism last year for its ongoing reliance on crowdfunding to fund game development. According to the game’s development page, 5 million individuals have raised nearly $658 million (£516 million).
£1.8 million was raised in early 2012
When Star Citizen was first launched back in 2012, $2.1 million (£1.8 million) was raised through the inaugural crowdfunding. Originally scheduled for release in 2014, the game is still years away from launch, according to Carl Jones of Cloud Imperium Games. Meanwhile, Squadron 42, a stand-alone single-player story adventure game, has just entered the polishing phase of development; a release date for that game is also unknown.
