Squadron 42, the highly anticipated single-player, cinematic sci-fi game set in the Star Citizen universe, has been delayed to Q2 2027, according to a recent announcement by Cloud Imperium Games. The decision was made to avoid competing with the highly-anticipated release of GTA 6, which is scheduled to launch this November on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Game director Chris Roberts stated that this move was made after much deliberation, as he didn't want the game to get lost in the attention buzz surrounding GTA 6. The game, which has been in development for over twelve years, was originally planned for a 2015 release but has been delayed multiple times. Squadron 42 will be released in multiple episodes, with Episode One set to offer around 70 missions spanning approximately 20 hours of gameplay.
The game will feature a star-studded cast, including Mark Hamill, Gary Oldman, Henry Cavill, and Gillian Anderson.
