Squadron 42 Was Revealed at CitizenCon

During CitizenCon an hour of gameplay footage was released for a single-player game called Squadron 42, set in the Star Citizen universe.

The gameplay starts with a casual walking on a ship which is later accompanied by boarding ship sequences. That’s when the bad guys are revealed. It is just the stuff that you would expect from a AAA game these days. The grand events of the game are supported by the grand scale of battle. Squadron 42  is not just a name because it does appear in the trailer right when it is needed.

Don’t get your hopes up because you will not be playing the game in the near future. The target year for the game’s launch is 2026 but given the developer’s history, it stands to reason that the release could go beyond that year.

There is action on foot as well as in the spaceship and the game features some major talent from the industry. The cast includes Henry Cavill (Yes, The Witcher and The Superman), Eleanor Tomlinson, John Rhys-Davies, Gary Oldman, Sophie Wu, Jonathan Bailey, and Mark Hamill.

The developer of the game is Cloud Imperium Games who are also the developers of Star Citizen which has been in the game development since 2012. However, they have not released a complete game because Star Citizen is still in early access. We cannot say for sure how developers will handle the game since we don’t have a full game from the developers that we can base our opinion on.
