Citizen Sleeper 2 will be the last Citizen Sleeper video game

Citizen Sleeper creator Gareth Damian Martin has said their warm-hearted series of sci-fi video games will end with Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector, which releases 31st January. However, Citizen Sleeper as a series of games won’t necessarily end there.

The intention, as Damian Martin laid it out to me in a recent interview, is to create a full tabletop role-playing version of the game, and thereby handover future adventures in the series to the TTRPG space that has so inspired it.

Responding to whether that would be it for Citizen Sleeper games after the sequel, Damian Martin replied: “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.
