Star Citizen Roadmap Roundup - August 26, 2026
CIG’s August 26, 2026 Roadmap Roundup sets Alpha 4.10 cards to Released and moves Nyx II, Nyx III, ship loadout recovery improvements, and new weapons to Tentative for Alpha 4.11.
CIG’s latest Roadmap Roundup is here, bringing the usual two-week look at what has shifted on the Star Citizen release view and why. As ever, these updates are meant to give you a clearer read on the decisions behind roadmap changes across Star Citizen and Squadron 42.
CIG also reiterated that the 1.0 column represents features and content planned for inclusion in or before Star Citizen 1.0. That means items listed there may arrive before the full 1.0 release, moving left into a point patch column once they are ready for release.
Notable Changes: August 26, 2026

Alpha 4.11
Nyx II
With high temperatures and a high-pressure atmosphere dense with thick clouds, Nyx II is an inhospitable planet where protective gear is recommended. While some resources dot the surface, the risk involved in harvesting them has left the planet almost void of commercial development.
- This card has been set to Tentative.
Nyx III
Nyx III is an ice giant that lacks a breathable atmosphere and is considered a difficult candidate for expansive commercial resource extraction.
- This card has been set to Tentative.
Item Recovery: Ship Loadout Improvements
Implementing Item Recovery: Ship Loadout Improvements, updating ship and item recovery to better support custom loadouts through timed claims, optional expedite fees, freight elevator item claims, and debuting a free recovery option when losses are detected as outside the player’s control.
- This card has been set to Tentative.
Associated Science And Development \"Model-K2\" DMR
Implementing the Associated Science And Development \"Model-K2\" Designated Marksman Rifle, a versatile energy weapon that builds heat during sustained fire allowing operators to switch fire mode using heat to unleash powerful ultra fast projectiles.
- This card has been set to Tentative.
Lightning Bold Company \"Skarnov\" Assault Rifle
Implementing the Lightning Bold Company \"Skarnov\" DMR, a fully automatic designated marksman rifle whose specialized projectiles create electrical discharges between multiple targets, making it highly effective against groups of hostiles.

The existing Heavy Combat Armor also got its name: Monolith.
