Star Citizen Reveals New Bike and Passes 225 Million Dollars in Crowdfunding

Cloud Imperium Games released a new video of its upcoming space simulator Star Citizen.

The video showcases some lighting work done on the underground environments of the game, on top of an improvement pass to the ArcCorp cityscape.

On top of that, we also get to take the first look at the Tumbril Ranger, which is the game’s first wheeled motorbike (we already had hoverbikes, but not a traditional wheeled one).

The Ranger comes in three versions, dedicated to mission running, racing, and combat, costing $35 for the first two and $40 for the combat-oriented version. A bundle with all three is also available for $100.

Incidentally, it’s worth mentioning that all three versions will be purchasable in the game with the currency you earn by playing.

You can check out the videos below, alongside some concept artwork images.

In other Star Citizen news, the game has passed $225 million in crowdfunding and is now sitting on $225,627,761 with 2,325,834 registered users.

Do keep in mind, for the sake of full disclosure, that the author of this article has been a backer of the game since day one of the crowdfunding campaign.
