Chris Roberts and Cloud Imperium Games are at PAX East and the long awaited dogfighting module for Star Citizen has been showcased live to attendees with footage now emerging. Chris Roberts is piloting a Hornet.
Comically things go a little wrong in the beginning as he crashes into part of a station and his ship disintegrates. There’s almost 15 minutes worth of in-game footage so far.
The dogfighting module is expected to release to backers of Star Citizen sometime in early May where players can then start tearing each other apart.
Five modes will be available in the DFM: Free flying, death match, team death match, capture the flag, and horde mode.
Initially the ships to choose from will be limited with more added as time goes by to include those already purchased through pledges. Check out the footage from PAX East below courtesy of YouTube. This is sure to fuel even more funding for Star Citizen which currently has more than $41.6 million from PC gamers.
