It doesn’t look like the launch is close, so it is expected to continue amassing money for the next few years.
As Starfield enters the final stretch of its development and promises to be the biggest and most ambitious space game to date, many have looked back to look again at Star Citizenthat space MMO project that promised to be the great revolution of video games. Halfway between video games and aviation simulators, it promises the possibility of have real estate, a trade, own your own ship and explore the cosmos freely. Even so, not only is it still in development after more than 10 years, but its mammoth budget It already surpasses that of great blockbusters of recent times.
At the end of last year 2022, the financing campaign of Star Citizen already exceeded the 500 million dollarsenough to exceed the combined budget of recent big games like GTA V (137 million dollars), Red Dead Redemption II (170 million dollars) or Cyberpunk 2077 ($174 million) and there is plenty of money, but the thing does not stop there, since in a matter of just a few months, Star Citizen would have shot its budget again.
The most expensive game ever developed
As we can read in GameRant, the money raised by Star Citizen would already be close to the line of the 600 million dollars, although in the range of 500 million it would already have more than enough to be considered the most expensive game in history. This recognition is not easy to attribute, because they usually work with estimated figures and many games do not even share data about it, but it is estimated that on the podium together with Star Citizen there could be games like Star Wars: The Old RepublicBioware’s MMO RPG, which would have cost around 200 million dollars of the time.
There is no Estimated date for the release of Star Citizen from the period of permanent early access in which it has been for years, but it is to be expected that it will continue to raise more and more money, which is already beginning to be suspicious for much of the industry and the community. As for Starfield, the most real alternative to Star Citizenthe next one will come September 6 exclusively for Xbox and PC. Take a look at his latest trailer.
