\n\tCloud Imperium Games<\/a>\u2019 \u201cSquadron 42<\/a>\u201d is now available to wishlist on Steam ahead of its planned Q2 2027 release.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe single-player sci-fi adventure game is set in the year 2945, as the United Empire of Earth is threatened by outlaws and hostile aliens alike. Players enlist as a rookie in the UEE Navy and embark on a dangerous journey through the galactic war. Aboard a massive capital ship, players work alongside a dynamic crew to earn their rank.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe game takes place within the universe of \u201cStar Citizen,\u201d Cloud Imperium Games\u2019 multiplayer online experience that has been gestating for nearly 15 years<\/a>. The CIG team has been developing \u201cStar Citizen\u201d simultaneously with \u201cSquadron 42,\u201d which follows a focused single-player narrative adventure rather than a multiplayer game style. Much of the technology and game systems utilized in \u201cStar Citizen\u201d is repurposed for \u201cSquadron 42,\u201d game designer and CIG founder Chris Roberts told Variety in May<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tIts star-studded cast includes Mark Hamill, Gary Oldman, Gillian Anderson, Ben Mendelsohn, Henry Cavill, Andy Serkis, John Rhys-Davies, Jonathan Bailey, Mark Strong, Alix Wilton Reagan, Ben Mendelsohn, Damson Idris, Liam Cunningham, Jane Perry and more.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSquadron 42\u201d is powered by StarEngine proprietary technology, which has been developed in-house at Cloud Imperium Games. The independent studio was co-founded in 2012 by game designer Roberts, the mind behind the \u201890s PC game \u201cWing Commander,\u201d alongside wife Sandi Roberts.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSquadron 42\u201d is slated for release in Q2 2027. Players can now wishlist the game on Steam.<\/p>\n
