Citizen Sleeper 2 will be the last game in the series, but not the last game in the universe
Citizen Sleeper creator Gareth Damian Martin has confirmed that their acclaimed sci-fi video game series will conclude with Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector, which is scheduled for release on 31 January. However, this will not mean the complete end of the Citizen Sleeper universe.
Here's What We Know
In a recent interview, Martin spoke about the completeness of the sequel, saying:
"I think it is for video games. I'll leave myself a backdoor somewhere that I can climb through and dig it out the grave again... But no. I think especially the ending - and I hope people feel this when they reach the ending - I really felt like, okay, this is me saying the final word on it. I really like where I'm leaving it. I'm really happy with that. But Citizen Sleeper has meant a lot to a lot of people and so I'm not about to leave that behind," they added. "The next big project for me will be to work on a Citizen Sleeper tabletop game in full, but I need to find the right collaborator and I need to work that out, and I need to do that alongside other stuff. So that's something that will be a more long-term project."

Martin's experience in creating board games includes collaborating on In Other Waters and the tarot-based Citizen Sleeper game, which strengthens their ability to combine formats.
