Getting Ready for the Final Chapter
As the clock ticks down to January 31, anticipation buzzes around the release of Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector. Creator Gareth Damian Martin has crafted an intriguing conclusion to this beloved series, which many speculate will be its last installment. In a recent interview with Eurogamer, Martin hinted at his vision for a fitting finale, stating, “I think it is… I’ll leave myself a backdoor somewhere that I can climb through and dig it out of the grave again.” For fans, this is bittersweet; a final hurrah, yet a possibility for future escapades.
The Journey So Far
Going all in on the vibes of tabletop RPGs, Martin’s genius lies in how he melds elements reminiscent of smaller-scale indie games with the immersive worlds of video games. With Citizen Sleeper, he cleverly introduced players to thrilling mechanics such as those delicious, blades-in-the-dark-style clocks. The success of the first game set the stage for this sequel, and one can only appreciate how far the story has come.
What Lies Ahead?
While Citizen Sleeper 2 wraps up the video game series, Martin isn’t exactly waving goodbye to the universe he’s created. Instead, a new adventure awaits in the form of a tabletop RPG. This feels somewhat poetic, don’t you think? A full-circle moment, going back to the roots where inspiration ignited. So, whether you’re a veteran traveler of their universe or a curious newcomer, the impending launch is bound to spark excitement. Will you be ready to dive into the cosmos one last time?
