Star Citizen's single-player spin-off, Squadron 42, is nearing completion with a 40-hour content, a star-studded voice cast, and a planned release in 2026, after 14 years of development, though delays are still possible.
Squadron 42, a highly anticipated space RPG by Cloud Imperium Games with Hollywood stars like Gary Oldman and Henry Cavill, is set for a 2026 episodic release, featuring space combat, FPS elements, and character interactions, drawing comparisons to Mass Effect and Starfield.
Star Citizen is expected to launch in 2027 or 2028, with Squadron 42 releasing around 2026, featuring a Hollywood cast and described as 'Top Gun meets Star Wars,' marking a significant milestone after over a decade of development.
Cloud Imperium Games CEO Chris Roberts indicates that the long-awaited 1.0 release of Star Citizen may be on the horizon, with recent tech milestones and the completion of Squadron 42 contributing to the progress. The achievement of seamless player travel between star systems on different servers marks a significant step towards the MMO's 1.0 release, enabled by the "server meshing" technology. The company is now focused on launching server meshing in Star Citizen Alpha 4.0 and plans to deliver large updates and new features as they push towards the 1.0 goal. Roberts has relocated to Austin to be closer to development teams, and the company is reorganizing as it charges full steam ahead towards the game's finish line.
Cloud Imperium Games has announced that Squadron 42, the standalone single-player campaign for Star Citizen, is now "feature-complete" and in the polishing phase. The game, which has faced multiple delays since its original announcement in 2014, is still without a release window. The studio is focusing on AI, narrative, and cinematics, and players can expect to see more updates and progress on Star Citizen's persistence.
