Til ingens overraskelse er Squadron 42 blevet forsinket til 2027

Det har taget mange, mange år efterhånden, og mange løfter om en kommende lancering også, men helt tilbage ved CitizenCon 2024 lovede de at singleplayer-delen Squadron 42 ville ankomme i 2026. Også denne lancering er nu skubbet tilbage.

I et blogindlæg (via IGN) insisterer studiet på at det er grundet GTA VI, og ikke bundet op på udviklingen - og det er til trods for at GTA VI ikke lanceres på PC i første omgang:

"At CitizenCon 2024, we announced we would ship in 2026. Our plan was to release in Q4 around IAE," said Roberts. "But much like the rest of the industry there is no way I want to launch my spiritual successor to Wing Commander, a game that has had twelve years of blood, sweat and tears invested into it (we started Squadron 42 development in 2014 as 2013 was opening studios, hiring people and getting the Hangar module out for Star Citizen) launching into the attention buzz saw of GTA 6. While GTA 6 isn't launching on PC this November, pretty much all outlets and most content creators will be all over it, not leaving a lot of room for other coverage."

Dette gælder kun Squadron 42 - som nu lander i 2027 - selve Star Citizen er fortsat foruden en udgivelsesdato.
