The upcoming Citizen Con Direct event for Star Citizen in 2025 is expected to showcase new gameplay features like hacking, crafting, and base building, alongside ship reveals including the RSI Perseus and updates on the Kraken and Ironclad. Location updates focusing on the Nyx system, environmental improvements, and quality-of-life enhancements such as social tools and UI upgrades are also anticipated, making it the most significant Star Citizen event of the year.
The video discusses the highly anticipated Citizen Con Direct event for Star Citizen in 2025, focusing on the potential features, systems, locations, and ships that might be showcased. While there is no official confirmation on what will be revealed, the presenter draws insights from monthly reports and past trends from Cloud Imperium Games (CI).

One of the most confident predictions is the introduction of hacking gameplay, a feature mentioned multiple times in recent monthly reports with updates on animations, abilities, and tutorials. The presenter believes Citizen Con is the ideal platform to showcase this gameplay, even if it does not release immediately. Alongside hacking, crafting and base building are expected to receive significant attention. Although crafting gameplay has yet to be shown, it was reportedly playable in early 2025 via a developer UI, and base building has seen substantial behind-the-scenes work, making both features likely highlights.
Ship-related reveals are also anticipated, with a strong chance of seeing updated concept art for the Kraken, similar to last year’s approach with the Consolidated Outlands Pioneer. The RSI Perseus ship is almost guaranteed to be featured, potentially with a detailed flythrough and discussion. The Ironclad may make a more subtle appearance, possibly flying in the background as a teaser. Additionally, a new ship from the referral ladder is expected to be revealed, adding to the excitement for ship enthusiasts.
Location updates are another key focus, with speculation around new developments in the Nyx system, which follows Pyro in the game’s progression. The presenter hopes to see more planet-side content for Nyx beyond just space assets. While Castra and Terra are less certain to be featured, Nyx is likely to receive the spotlight due to its position in the game’s roadmap. Other environmental improvements like Planet Tech V5, Stark attacks, and new biomes such as redwoods and swamps could also be showcased.
Finally, the video touches on smaller but important systems like updated social tools, convenience features such as suit lockers, and UI improvements. Although these may not be as flashy as major gameplay features, they are crucial for enhancing the overall player experience. The presenter invites viewers to share their own hopes and expectations for Citizen Con, emphasizing the wide range of possibilities for the event. With Citizen Con just a month away, excitement is building for what promises to be the biggest Star Citizen event of the year.
