Star Citizen developer Cloud Imperium Games is releasing a ship bundle for its controversial space simulator that costs an eye-watering $48,000.
Revealed on its website, the Legatus 2953 pack will arrive in the first quarter of 2024 and cost $48,000 despite the game not having officially launched yet.
"Ahead of all others, this definitive armada is an equal match to the noble title of Legatus Navium," the Legatus 2953 item page reads. "Comprised of over 175 vessels from every manufacturer of note, this perfect collection, including all ships released and concepted through 2953, empowers every fleet commander to forge a lasting legacy, leading humanity towards a brighter future."
Adding even more to the price, the Legatus 2953 pack is only available to members of Star Citizen's Chairman's Club, which can only be entered after spending $1,000 on other items in game.
Star Citizen is considered one of the most controversial projects in all video games. Over the years it's been called many things, including a scam by those who wonder whether it will ever properly launch.
What cannot be denied is the huge amount of money so far raised by Star Citizen, which CIG displays on its website. At the time of this article’s publication, Star Citizen had raised $658,161,596 from more than five million accounts.
