Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector will be the last in the series, says creator Gareth Damian Martin, as he looks to tabletop games. The upcoming Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector releases on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, and PC on January 31, 2025.

Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector will be the last video game in the series, says Gareth Damian Martin, the creator. Speaking to Eurogamer, the developer revealed he is moving on to his next video game. Meanwhile, the long-term goal is to “work on a Citizen Sleeper tabletop game.”

The upcoming RPG releases on January 31 on Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, and PC, almost three years after the first game. Martin hopes fans love the sequel as much as the first game, stating “I really like where I’m leaving it.”

Evolution of the Citizen Sleeper Series

The surprising success of Citizen Sleeper has seen the game sell over 1 million copies to date, with an estimated $3.8 million in gross revenue made on Steam alone, according to Steam Revenue Calculator.

Citizen Sleeper’s popularity prevented Martin from developing his next game, with publisher Fellow Traveller wanting the sequel instead of a new IP. Now, with Citizen Sleeper 2 coming at the end of the month, Martin hopes he has met fans’ expectations.

Anticipation for the Final Installment

With Citizen Sleeper 2 launching on January 31, the developer has worked hard on producing a more complex RPG system, including the new Stress mechanic that will impact players while out on new missions called Contracts, where the more stress you have, the more unpredictable the results of the dice are.

This final chapter of the series will not be the franchise’s end, as Gareth Damian Martin wants to expand its universe into a full tabletop RPG. Who knows? Maybe we will see a third game after Martin is done with his next game.

Conclusion

Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector marks the end of a beloved series, leaving a lasting impact on the RPG genre. Share your thoughts on the series’ conclusion and the developer’s plan for a TTRPG adaptation in the comments below.
