Squadron 42 was announced back in 2012 and still hasn't been released after almost a decade. That hasn't stopped CIG from discussing sequels though.
On 21 January 2026, CIG was targeted by a systematic and sophisticated attack, resulting in unauthorised access to some backup systems, including limited access to users’ personal data. CIG acted quickly to contain the activity and block further access to this data and CIG systems, and we have refreshed security settings to ensure that there is no threat to our games or our users.
Star Citizen developer Cloud Imperium Games has told fans that the Mark Hamill-fronted single-player story space adventure Squadron 42 is still on track for a 2026 release date — and not to expect “a long, drawn-out marketing campaign” beforehand.
Star Citizen developer Cloud Imperium Games revealed some interesting details and images of the upcoming single-player campaign, Squadron 42.
Genuinely think this is the biggest scam in the history of gaming. We will eventually see a Coffeezilla excoriation and then a Netflix documentary on it. I want a "Poop Cruise" for this game basically!
Release date roadmap:
Squadron 42: Episode 1 - 2026
Squadron 42: Episode 2 - 2034
Squadron 42: Episode 3 - 2042👀
I would like to see 42 before I hear anything about sequels. Considering just how far past due this game is, and how far out it still seems to be, they should be focused on releasing A game.
Ah yes more “discussing and planning” we clearly need more of that.
If they hit 1 billion in funding they will make a sequel to the spin off they haven't finished of the game they haven't finished. 😭
I’m waiting for them to say, the game will be pushed back further because they’re upgrading to the latest Unreal engine. Which will add another 20 years….lol
If these guys were smart, they would start the crowd funding for the sequel as well. Then we'll really see how stupid people are giving their money to this company.
