Read moreFew games have ever been in development as long as Star Citizen has, with its 12-years-and-counting cycle. But Star Citizen’s standalone spin-off, Squadron 42, comes close with 10 years since the game was announced. At this year’s CitizenCon 2954, Cloud Imperium stopped short of saying that Squadron 42 will have a definite release date in 2026. But Cloud Imperium CEO Chris Roberts did say that he was “confident” it would be released in two years.
To back up his claim, Roberts presented an hour-long gameplay demo of Squadron 42, which had a few crashes along the way. But it did show off the Wing Commander-inspired gameplay and intense sci-fi action. There are also plenty of cutscenes in the video.
