More to follow this Thursday during EA Play.

Trailer

Word is it’s a 5v5 multiplayer with a single-player campaign. It’s set after the events of Return of the Jedi.

quote:

Today, Lucasfilm and EA revealed Star Wars: Squadrons, a new space combat game coming October 2 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, and playable via virtual reality (VR) on PlayStation 4 and PC.


quote:

Star Wars: Squadrons promises thrilling first-person, 5v5 multiplayer space dogfights, monumental fleet battles, and an original story set during the final days of the Galactic Empire and the rise of the New Republic after the events of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi.


quote:

In Star Wars: Squadrons players will enlist as starfighter pilots, stepping into the cockpits of legendary starfighters from both the New Republic and Imperial fleets. They’ll plan skirmishes with their squadron in the briefing room before taking off to space battles across the galaxy. Players will engage in strategic 5v5 multiplayer space battles with the goal of demolishing the opposing flagship in Fleet Battles and feel the rush of first-person multiplayer combat as they work with their squadron and execute the best tactics to defeat as many opponents as possible in Dogfights.

I'm really hyped, just hope they feel good to fly. Battlefront didn't feel all that great to fly.

Some thoughts from a SW EU/Legends/Comics youtuber.

Goosebump generator when that Star Destroyer comes in from the clouds.

Same. First time I’ve been hyped for a SW game in as long as I can remember. That VR support for PS and PC is solid.

I'm getting VR for HL3 and Portal3 (yes it will happen imo since the ending of Alyx, not sure when) but might jump into VR for this game.

If they don't plan on having some big team type multiplayer, that will be a waste.

The Squadrons developer, Motive Studios, collaborated on Battlefront 2, and the game is going to retail at $40 with supposedly no micro-transactions. Very out of character for EA, so they must be making up for it somewhere else.

I'm expecting this game to be piggybacking on Battlefront 2's development.

Yeah that is a bummer.

Can't remember if a squadron is 8 or 12 xwings in most legends stories.

Edt: Anyone know if the campaign is "co-op" or multi-player option?

Would be cool to get an assignment, then shoot off with your buddies to the Outer Rim planets, Unknown Regions or even some weird Rishi Maze stuff.

Looks to me like they just took Battlefront, stripped out the ground combat, and are selling it as a new, slightly discounted game. 5v5 is lame as hell. Hopefully the single player can offer some sort of worth with Rogue Squadron style missions.

Not in cinema, agree, but I still love the weirdness of Legends/EU post RotJ.

That didn't look very good at the EA Play reveal.

Chat went nuts for the Skate 4 reveal though.
