Star Wars Squadrons

Potential leak on the Xbox Homepage today. Sounds like a new age starfighter game, potentially in the mold of the Rogue Squadron series. The art is sexy:

Star Wars: Squadrons Briefly Appears On The Xbox Home Page

Trailer:

Awesome!

 

[Broseph44]

Yep been confirmed EA and Star Wars posting about it all over their social media. Trailer on Monday.

 

[BrollySupersj]

I'm trying real hard not to get hyped. This EA and Star Wars, the other shoe is bound to drop. Standby.

Isn't Jedi: Fallen Order a great game? Battlefront II got better over time

Yep been confirmed EA and Star Wars posting about it all over their social media. Trailer on Monday.

Hmmm, is Microsoft having an Xbox show then?

 

[Gee]

I hope it's in the likes of Rogue Squadron and TIE Fighter.

But the "Pilots wanted" tagline seems to suggest multiplayer.

 

[Zorro]

As long as multi-player is optional then it's all good

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

I really hope this is a successor to Rogue Squadron. Loved the N64 & GameCube games.

Trailer is set to debut this coming Monday (6/15)

Isn't Jedi: Fallen Order a great game? Battlefront II got better over time

One game hardly means we should start trusting them, Battlefront II got better, but they've ended support for the game by leaving it riddled with bugs and horrible balancing issues, not to mention that most of the content they added to it was stuff the game should've launched with. I'm gonna need definitive proof that there's nothing horribly shady about this game before I give them a single dollar of my money.

 

[Zorro]

Oh well. No new star wars game for you then. I myself only pay EA for EA Access subscriptions and that's how I get their games

 

[TheVileOne]

Who is developing it? Fans have a right to be skeptical about it, regardless of Fallen Order. Fallen Order was the exception, not the rule.

Rumored to be Motive Studio's Project Maverick

No gameplay, but gameplay is coming Thur. Some details. Single player campaign, playing both Rebels and Empire after ROTJ. 5v5 multiplayer. Customizable pilots. Customizable ships available all in game. Only $40, so not likely to be an expansive game.

Just going to sit here wondering where the B-wing and TIE Defender are...

 

[Zorro]

In the actual game and simply not featured in the trailer? Although always a chance they could be left off to be a dlc pack

 

[terry78]

In game engine means nothing if it's not being used during gameplay.

 

[Snow Queen]

Hera in the background, wonder if she'll be a major part or just a cameo.

Sounds like a modern take on Tie fighter and Rogue Squadron. Excited by the idea of the Customizable ships and pilots.

Also I think I spotted Wedge and Hera in the trailer!

 

[Gee]

VR support? Oh my.

 

[BrollySupersj]

This single player campaign better goddamn have meat on its bones at launch and receive support post launch.

 

[Zorro]

Customizable pilots and ships is cool but I'm nervous about the possible grind. You know there will be dlc packs/microtransactions for currency towards parts to make it easier/faster plus exclusive items or skins

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

Visually, the game looks amazing

The trailer didn’t do much for though. Gonna have to wait on some gameplay footage

 

[Sithborg]

They have said all of that is earned in game, no microtransactions.

However, I am willing to bet new ships will be paid DLC, however. The B-wing is the most obvious missing ship. Add in things like the Defender, Advanced x1 and v1, TIE Striker, Mando Fang fighters, Phantom I and II, Z-95, and a ton of other options, some good room to make some money.

 

[KillerMcQueen]

If it's true about no microtransactions then this is something I'll probably be very interested in, just have to see some gameplay first.

Hera in the background, wonder if she'll be a major part or just a cameo.

I'm hoping for some hero starfighters in addition to the standard X-Wings and Tie Fighters, I'd love to play as Hera in the Ghost.

 

[Zorro]

Very curious to see gameplay and learn more info. Good thing it's that’s coming on Thursday though
