Following the success of last year’s Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, EA has announced a new Star Wars game is coming to consoles and PC, and you won’t have to wait much longer to play it. Star Wars: Squadrons will release October 2, 2020 on PS4, Xbox One, and PC (via Origin, Steam, and the Epic Games Store). VR fans can also get in on the fun, as the space shooter will also be playable in VR on PS4 and PC. Following today’s reveal trailer, Star Wars: Squadrons is available to pre-order on all platforms, so you can secure your copy early and be ready to play on day one.
In Star Wars: Squadrons, you’ll enlist as a starfighter pilot who will command iconic ships from both the New Republic and Imperial fleets. The game features 5v5 multiplayer dogfights, monumental fleet battles, and an original single-player story about events occurring after the Battle of Endor and the destruction of the Death Star II. The story alternates between the perspectives of two pilots–one from the New Republic’s Vanguard Squadron and the other from the Empire’s Titan Squadron.
Star Wars: Squadrons features cross-play support for Xbox One, PS4, PC, and VR, so you’ll be able to squad up with your friends no matter what platform they’re on. The game has extensive cosmetic and gameplay customization options so you can design your pilot, cockpit, and ship exterior to your liking. You’ll also earn things like weapons, engines, and shields to deck out your starfighter as you move up the ranks.
EA plans to reveal gameplay for Star Wars: Squadrons on June 18 at 4 PM PT / 7 PM ET in its EA Play showcase, which would normally occur during E3. Ahead of the event, Star Wars: Squadrons is already available to pre-order. If you’re certain it’s a day-one purchase for you, check out its price and everywhere you can pre-order the game below.
