Star Citizen Reveals First WIP Look at Orison Landing Zone on Crusader

Star Citizen developer Cloud Imperium Games released a new video about its upcoming space simulator focusing on the Orison landing zone.

The video features live game director Todd Papy and art director Ian Leyland as they discuss what’s left to do to complete the Stanton System.

Interestingly, we also get to take the first work-in-progress look at Orison, the landing zone floating in the clouds of the gas giant Crusader. 

The first part of the reveal is whitebox, which means it lacks textures and details, being used to showcase the layout of the area. We also get to see some still “visual target tests” that provide a better look at what Orison should look like when it’s completed.

You can check it out below.

In other Star Citizen news, the crowdfunding total is now way beyond $306 million.

To be more precise, it’s sitting on 306,675,454 at the moment of this writing. 

The number of registered accounts is now over 2.7 million (currently 2,746,234).

As usual, it’s known that not all of them are paying players. The number includes free accounts created for a variety of reasons, including free fly events.

For the sake of full disclosure, the author of this article has been a Star Citizen backer since the original Kickstarter campaign several years ago, so you should keep that in mind while reading this article.
