Star Citizen game crowdfunding exceeded $600 million
IT House News on August 26, Cloud Imperium Games updated its crowdfunding tracker page today, saying that it has successfully raised 600 million US dollars (IT House Note: the current is about 4.374 billion yuan), and the official will use this fund to develop the sci-fi RPG game "Star Citizen".
Here is a brief review of the game's fundraising record:
Game project in 2011
In October 2012, Star Citizen launched a crowdfunding campaign that earned $2 million in just ten days
In December 2015, crowdfunding exceeded $100 million
In November 2016, crowdfunding exceeded $200 million
In June 2020, crowdfunding exceeded $300 million
In November 2021, crowdfunding exceeded $400 million
In September 2022, crowdfunding exceeded $500 million
In August 2023, crowdfunding exceeded $600 million
The game with the largest crowdfunding amount has been in development for 12 years, but the game's release date is still far away.
This work with mixed reviews has undergone several overhauls and remakes. However, in general, the development phase of Star Citizen can be roughly divided into three parts: the "initial stage" from 2011 to 2014, the "near-collapse phase" from 2015 to 2017, and the "high-speed development stage" from 2017 to the present.
