Star Citizen’s Dogfighting Module – Arena Commander – Now Available


Star Citizen fans, get ready for a treat. Cloud Imperium has just released the dogfighting module for this highly anticipated space combat title. Those who have already backed the game can download it by either updating their existing Hangar through the launcher or by accessing the Star Citizen Download page.

The first public version of Arena Commander is V0.8 and as you may have expected comes with various bugs. Cloud Imperium is already preparing the next version that will come with additional features and you can view its changelog below.

“V0.8 is just the beginning. It’s the start of a hard push for the development team as we head towards V0.9 and finally V1.0, at which point Arena Commander will be ‘feature complete’ with the modes, maps and options promised at PAX. By the time V1.0 drops, we aim for the entire community to have access to the multiplayer game modes”
