Squadron 42 in 2026; Gameplay Video Released [Oct 20, 2024, 10:51 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
CIG is "confident" Squadron 42 will launch in
2026, Chris Roberts announced during this weekend's awkwardly titled CitizenCon
2954 convention. We'll consider the new release window carved in sand, since
the single-player space game was hit with the first of its many delays
in 2016 and was declared
"feature complete" a year ago.
IGN reports Chris promises 30-40 hours of single-player gameplay from this
second game added to Star Citizen after its crowdfunding went plaid
(currently at $730
million and counting). The news came with a well-received live gameplay
presentation
that even crashed a couple of times to prove it was not pre-rendered. Here
is that Squadron 42
CitizenCon 2954 Live Gameplay Reveal Trailer. It's introduced by the
ubiquitous Henry Cavill in full Justice League exposition mode, albeit
with no symbol of hope and only a trace of upper lip smearing. Just clear your
schedule before viewing the clip, as it recalls Chris Roberts' Hollywood
ambitions by running the length of a feature film.
IGN quotes some of Chris' comments:
“As I said at the start, we have 30 to 40 hours of gameplay. We feel confident we can bring the quality of the game up to the level we've just shown and more, without crashes. Both the team and I are confident of giving you this game in 2026. Obviously you can see it’s not going to be tomorrow, because you saw a few crashes there.
“Thank you for supporting us and allowing us to build such an ambitious game. Crashes aside, there’s probably not another game that has a prologue that has that much action. Mostly there aren’t movies that have that much action in there. Gladiator has three minutes of battle and eight minutes of prologue. This was an hour of crazy stuff.
Uh huh. Sure, Roberts.
