Star Citizen's Kickstarter campaign happened so long ago that some of the alpha's younger players weren't even born when it first appeared, 12 years ago. And we still don't have a clue when it will be released. But apparently the singleplayer component, Squadron 42, will actually launch in a future that isn't too far off: 2026. Unless it gets delayed, which, let's face it, there's a very high chance of happening.
CIG's chief dream-spinner Chris Roberts said he was "confident" that Squadron 42 would hit this incredibly broad release window during CitizenCon over the weekend (cheers, IGN). This announcement came after a showcase of the game's first hour, featuring lengthy cutscenes filled to the brim with famous actors who did their mo-cap performances a decade ago, some flashy-but-linear space battles, an FPS section, a bunch of bugs, and several crashes.
