Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector Officially Announced For PC

Jump Over The Age and Fellow Traveller have revealed Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector with a brand-new trailer, the sequel to 2022’s acclaimed RPG Citizen Sleeper.

Announced during the PC Gaming Show, Citizen Sleeper 2 will be coming soon to PC and will take players to a new location among the stars and put them in the declining body of a Sleeper. In the sequel, building a life is still a core aspect, but this time players will also have a ramshackle ship and a crew, both of which will need navigating through a system-wide crisis.

The reveal trailer showed off the game’s unique sci-fi, neon punk art style, and a variety of colorful characters, while also providing the premise for the story.

“You are a Sleeper, an android built by Essen-Arp for whatever purpose your corporate owners dictate,” the game description reads. “After a daring escape, you’ve made it all the way out to the Starward Belt, a remote asteroid cluster at the edge of the Helion System, only to have swapped one form of control for another. You’re now under the thumb of Laine, a notorious gang leader who provides you with Stabilizer–the drug your android body needs to survive–and uses it to exert control over you.”

Citizen Sleeper 2 will once again draw on the elements of tabletop RPGs, alongside all new systems and mechanics that offer new complex challenges. The developer has confirmed that it will be revealing more details about the game throughout the year, but those interested can currently wishlist the game on Steam.

The first Citizen Sleeper is available on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch, so it’s possible that the sequel will be announced for those platforms at a later date.
