As a seasoned spacefarer who has navigated the cosmos for decades, I can’t help but feel a surge of anticipation for the upcoming masterpiece, “Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector“. Having traversed countless asteroid belts and dodged my fair share of galactic gangsters, I can’t wait to dive back into the richly realized world of the Starward Belt.
On January 31, 2025, Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector is set to debut on PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam, as confirmed by publishers Fellow Traveller and developers Jump Over the Age. Additionally, it will be accessible through Game Pass.
Here is an overview of the game, via Fellow Traveller:
In the eagerly awaited follow-up to last year’s critically acclaimed role-playing game, Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector, gamers are whisked off to the Starward Belt, a gritty yet captivating network of settlements nestled within an asteroid belt brimming with hidden mysteries, compelling narratives, and individuals struggling to survive.
Characters assume the role of a Sleeper, a simulated human consciousness within an artificial body. They find themselves in a desperate situation, fleeing from both the company responsible for their creation and a criminal organization aiming to exploit them. To evade capture, players must seize control of a spaceship, assemble a team and allies, and tackle demanding tasks while they strive to construct their own destiny.
Initially, your team consists of Serafin, a reliable co-pilot who joined you in your escape. However, to tackle the various tasks that ensure continuous operation, you’ll require scavengers, technicians, and assorted professionals. These assignments are located beyond the bustling commercial centers of the Belt, and given their high-risk nature, each presents unique challenges. A single unfavorable dice roll could lead to failure, so it’s crucial to assemble a competent crew for each job.
In this captivating game, players will select a character class, customize their abilities, and gather their team in an experience reminiscent of traditional tabletop games. The outcome of their journey hinges on the toss of a die, as they confront challenging decisions within a intricate universe. Building upon the celebrated mechanics of “Citizen Sleeper“, the sequel offers a rich role-playing game (RPG) with a deep narrative that caters to both enthusiasts of the initial game and newcomers.
Previously shown in last year’s animated teaser, this Sleeper character is distinct from the one you encounter in the initial game. Following their daring breakaway from their corporate masters, this particular Sleeper came under the sway of a local crime syndicate, led by Laine. In an effort to liberate themselves from bondage, they find themselves once more on the run – now with a faulty body, a bounty on their head, and no recollection of their past experiences.
Today, we’ve unveiled information about the enhanced gameplay features for the freshly released version. These additions extend and build upon the captivating tabletop RPG-style mechanics from the original game.
Reboot / Rebuild / Repair
In the Belt, nothing ever runs smoothly, not even the mechanical bodies of Sleepers. The innovative dice mechanism from Citizen Sleeper is back for the sequel, updated for this new edition. Players must manage their stress levels to prevent harm to their dice or face potential damage. They’ll also encounter software malfunctions as they accumulate in their system.
Do the Job, Get Paid
In the world of Citizen Sleeper, contracts introduce a strategic, mission-based play style. Players must strategize diligently and make smart decisions for these lengthy, lucrative yet perilous assignments. However, they’ll also need to be flexible and adaptable, as both luck (represented by the roll of the dice) and unexpected developments during each task will impact their progress.
Push Your Luck
As a fervent admirer, let me express that every character class in the upcoming version of Citizen Sleeper, titled Citizen Sleeper 2, now boasts a distinctive “Push” skill. This feature can either help players shift the balance during challenging situations or potentially plunge them into perilous predicaments, depending on when and how it’s utilized.
Navigate the Belt
In the expanded Starward Belt, players experience a larger, more diverse universe compared to the initial game. Instead of being confined to one station, they can traverse from hub to hub freely, choosing their own path by accepting tasks or setting personal goals along the way. This dynamic world encourages exploration and nurtures those who engage with it, but ultimately, players decide which destinations and narratives warrant their focus and resources.
Choose Your Future
As a dedicated fan, I can’t help but marvel at how deeply player choice permeates the immersive world of Citizen Sleeper. The upcoming sequel promises an even richer experience, with intricate skill checks that enable players to shape their characters and class distinctively in various scenes. Furthermore, the narrative unfolds into multiple storylines, placing us in the unenviable position of having to make tough decisions that will significantly impact our character’s destiny. Ultimately, the future of our persona is in our hands!
