'Squadron 42' Nearly Finished, But Not Ready For Release In 2016

At Cloud Imperium Games’ (CIG) annual CitizenCon event, CEO Chris Roberts provided an update to Squadron 42, the standalone, single-player experience that is separate from Star Citizen. Even though work on Squadron 42 is near completion, it seems like we won’t get to play the game this year.

So it's been "near completion" for 7 years now… fool me once…

Best to be cautiously optimistic...

 

I mean they was at grey box stage of one chapter at that point, which is no where near complete and believe at that point was gonna release the game in chapters, the last vertical slice had what was part of chapter two, there's 28 in total.

 

It's been changed so many times, it was mean to be all space, now we have planets, so SQ42 moved to planets, now we have rivers, with apparently working boats. Gravity gun with a bridge puzzle something something every Half Life demo, we've lost co-op so that was a big bummer for me.

Trust me I've been waiting long enough. 

In the time this has been developed, had my second child, got married, getting divorced sure we'll be playing it when he's back from Uni. I've got my money's worth out of it though.
