A
post on ResetEra shows an ad that was spotted on the Microsoft store for a
game called
STAR WARS Squadrons, showing some Rebel and Empire pilots and
spacecraft and a caption saying "pilots wanted." This was quickly pulled, but
naturally prompted some speculation. EA responded quickly to the leak, however,
tweeting the
same image along with a
YouTube Link to where
they will debut an official reveal trailer on Monday. Since any story is more
fun with some rumors,
VentureBeat chimes in with word that this is EA/Motive's Star Wars game that
will come to PC and consoles this autumn. They cite "sources familiar with the
game’s production" saying it is a space combat featuring iconic Star Wars
vessels. They say it will feature a single-player campaign, but the emphasis is
on multiplayer team battles. Here's EA's tweet on the topic:
Pilots
Wanted. Tune in for the reveal trailer of #StarWarsSquadrons this Monday, June
15th at 8:00 AM Pacific Time:
