Cloud Imperium has released the Alpha 4.4 Update for Star Citizen which introduces the game’s brand-new Nyx system. This system has lots of different biomes, creatures, and environments. To celebrate this announcement, CI has also shared a new trailer that you can find below.
Nyx is a small rocky planet with almost no atmosphere. It’s too close to its star for humans to survive without protection. Because of this, the surface is extremely hot and blasted with strong solar radiation. There’s very little air to block the heat or radiation, making it a dangerous place to stay for long periods. Players will need special gear to explore its harsh environment safely.
Nyx will be located close to its star, like Stanton’s inner planets. However, it will have much harsher conditions than most other inner worlds. The system will be lawless, unlike the UEE-controlled ones, and will be even more dangerous than the Pyro system.
Star Citizen Alpha 4.4 will let players explore the entire surface of Nyx. You’ll be able to mine for resources, deal with dangerous weather, and face challenges like extreme heat and radiation. The update will also include risky mining missions, trading and salvage opportunities, outlaw mining zones, and chances for solo prospecting.
Have fun!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
