Star Citizen’s Foundation Festival is now live, and anyone curious about the game can jump on and try it for free from 12-19th July.
Developer Cloud Imperium says the festival – described as “a civic program in-lore aimed at strengthening community spirit” – is introducing an expanded “new player experience” that’s available for new and returning players, “as well as a Guide System to connect veteran pilots with newcomers to aid them on their space-faring journey”.
During the Foundation Festival, Guided Session participants can earn bonus rewards each weekend with up to two sets of armour and weapons providing you participate in at least two weekend sessions.
“With the ‘verse abuzz with talk of the release later this year of the long-awaited Pyro system, an outlaw system teeming with wealth and dangers in equal measure, Foundation Festival event organisers are taking the opportunity to ensure all citizens are flight-ready and prepared for whatever comes their way,” CI teases.
