Happy Monday, everyone!
It’s CitizenCon week, and we’re thrilled to welcome you to our biggest two-day event ever! Thousands of dedicated Star Citizen fans are already on their way to Manchester, UK—we’ve even bumped into a few familiar faces around town! For those who can’t make it in person, don’t worry—you can still join in on the excitement on the official broadcast on both Twitch and YouTube, October 19 and 20.
The countdown to an unforgettable weekend is on!
Last week, we rolled out the full event schedule and an updated floor plan on CitizenCon.com, with all times set to local UK time. If you're joining us in person, early registration opens on Friday, October 18. Swing by the Charter Foyer Entrance at Manchester Central Convention Complex from 5 PM to 8 PM UK time to grab your event pass and swag bag ahead of the main event.
If you're arriving early in Manchester, there's plenty to enjoy! Starting Tuesday, daily community-led Bar Citizen events will be happening across the city. And don’t miss ENTER ATMOSPHERE, a weekend highlight featuring racing exhibitions, a panel with CIG developers who have deep roots in racing and competitive gameplay, and the Fight or Flight World Championship Finals. Competitors from the US, EU, and Asia Pacific region have been battling it out all year for the chance to compete in this prestigious championship, making it an unmissable conclusion to your CitizenCon 2954 weekend!
As we gear up for this week’s big event, be sure to dive into the festive spirit of Spooktober and the celebrations of the Day of the Vara. The festivities continue with the thrilling Kill Collector mode in Arena Commander, chilling masks hidden in loot boxes, and two alluring community contests. Don’t miss out on the excitement!
We’re proud to share that Star Citizen Alpha 4.0 has begun initial testing with our Evocati, marking a significant milestone in our development journey. This achievement reflects the hard work of our team and the incredible dedication of the community, whose support has made all of this possible. This initial test is just the start, and we’re excited to keep the momentum going!
Now, let's see what's going on this week:
Friday, you will see the weekly RSI newsletter delivered to your inbox. As a reminder, our weekly shows, Inside Star Citizen and Star Citizen Live, are on hiatus and will return after CitizenCon.
On Saturday, the moment we’ve all been waiting for arrives as we kick off CitizenCon 2954! The live stream will begin at 10 AM UK time (9 AM UTC / 2 AM Pacific) and will be available on both Twitch and YouTube. We’ll launch the event with Brave New Worlds, our first presentation of the day, where we’ll introduce Genesis—an innovative suite of technologies and processes within StarEngine.
On Sunday, the CitizenCon stream returns at 9 AM UK time (8 AM UTC / 1 AM Pacific)—one hour earlier—for Day 2, bringing you even more exciting content from the 'verse. Get ready for a fantastic lineup of presentations and updates!
Have a stellar week both in and out of the 'verse! And if you see me in Manchester, say hi!
