Developer Cloud Imperium Games is holding another Free Fly event for its controversial space sim Star Citizen. Starting next week, curious intergalactic explorers will have eight days to experience the progress that’s been made as part of the game’s recent 3.3 update.
Star Citizen’s latest Free Fly event begins at 4pm GMT/8am PST on November 23rd, and runs through November 30th. It’s being held to celebrate, among other things, the introduction of the game’s first explorable planet, Hurston. Chris Roberts showed off the impressive location, and its sprawling hub city of Lorville, back in October. You can check it out in the video below.
Free Fly participants can join Star Citizen’s persistent universe to experience the new celestial body first-hand, and will also get the chance to test-drive every available ship in the game. A new rotation of ships, each themed around a specific in-game manufacturer, will come into play at 8am each day, so you’ll need to pop back regularly to experience them all.
