Cloud Imperium Games 'COO Carl Jones recently said that the company’s boss Chris Roberts is still overseeing the development of Squadron 42, which he admits could still take another year or two to finish (which means we probably aren’t going to see any gameplay anytime soon either)

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👀
That sounds like a pretty generous estimate.
lmao this scamaz
But zyloh said he already played through the whole squadron 42 years ago. Lol!
1-2 or 3-4 years, who's to say? What's the different anyways if it was actually more like 5-6 years? Am I right fellas? So, just to be clear, it'll be more like 7-8 years away. Just so you guys don't get lost and can follow the process closely let me write you a Roadmap...
Outstanding.👍
Shouldn't authorities be investigating them? Surely it's against the law to accept huge sums of money and not produce a complete product?
