The Squadron 42 team is back with new materials. In the fresh video, the developers tried to show where the millions of dollars collected from players are going.
Cloud Imperium Games presented the video during their latest community event. It showcases previously unreleased episodes from the beginning of the game: base exploration, seamless transitions to cinematic scenes, and combat—both at the controls of a starfighter and in familiar on-foot gunfights.
The project finally has a Steam page, listing the second quarter of 2027 as the release window. Given Chris Roberts’ specific pacing, this date should be taken with caution.
Squadron 42 is a large-scale story-driven game set in the Star Citizen universe. Unlike the original, players will not have to fly aimlessly across massive MMO servers. The developers are crafting a full-fledged single-player adventure, a spiritual successor to Wing Commander.
Players will take on the role of a UEE Navy cadet and battle the Vanduul race. The cast deserves special attention: Mark Hamill, Gary Oldman, Gillian Anderson, and Henry Cavill. In essence, it is an interactive Hollywood sci-fi movie.
