Star Citizen's Alpha 3.5 update will add playable female avatars and a new planet
Star Citizen: Around the Verse - Arrival at Alpha 3.5 | 3.4 Ep. 12
ArcCorp is the newest planet to be added to the game and it's a planet "epitomizing urban sprawl". The description from the official site reads:
The latest explorable planet in the Stanton system, ArcCorp, is almost entirely covered in man-made structures. Travel the bustling plazas and neon-hued alleys of Area18 (the planet's main landing zone), uncover local urban culture, meet colorful locals, and find new ways to make a credit or two.
The character creator also got an overhaul and for the first time ever you can play as a female charater.
Our updated customization system lets you take your Star Citizen avatar to new heights, with the ability to choose a male or female character and blend facial features in unique ways, creating near-infinite possibilities.
The flight system was also reworked and improved and you'll be able to test it out when update 3.5 drops.
Jump into the cockpit and try out the all-new flight control system. We've given the entire experience a top-to-bottom overhaul, maximizing pilot control and adding gravity to planets to achieve deeper and more realistic atmospheric flight.
There will also be 6 new Reliant series ships available for purchase (with prices ranging from $65 to $95) and well as 6 new MISC Legends ships (with prices ranging from $135 to $175).
