Squadron 42 returns with a trailer and Steam page
The PC spinoff of Star Citizen can now be wishlisted on Steam, with a new trailer offering a look at its combat and cast.
IGN reports that Cloud Imperium Games has released a new trailer for Squadron 42 and opened Steam wishlisting for the PC game. The single-player Star Citizen spinoff has been in development for more than a decade, so the store page gives interested players a concrete way to keep tabs on it.
The trailer pairs first-person gameplay and space combat with performances and likenesses from a cast that includes Gary Oldman, Mark Hamill, Gillian Anderson, Mark Strong, Liam Cunningham, Andy Serkis, Henry Cavill, Ben Mendelsohn, and John Rhys-Davies.
Squadron 42 is set in the Star Citizen universe in 2945, where the United Empire of Earth faces threats from outlaws and hostile alien forces. Players enlist in the UEE Navy and serve aboard a capital ship, building relationships with the crew while facing consequential decisions.
Its mix of space battles, stealth, action, exploration, and interactive cinematic sequences makes the crew more than a backdrop to the combat.
