The development team at Cloud Imperium Games is delivering a new high resolution extended trailer for Star Citizen which shows the core concepts behind the game and the beauty of space as created using the CryEngine.

Star Citizen is an ambitious space simulation project that is supported by both fans and by industry backers.

The game will allow players to choose a ship, customize its loadout and then go into space, choosing how to deal with other players and the opportunities that the various star systems offer.

One of the biggest challenges for each player will be to go through the missions that offer them citizen status in the game world.

Star Citizen is still receiving backing from fans and an initial release is expected to take place in 2014, with an alpha version that will only be offered to backers.
