Welcome to March’s Squadron 42 development report. Enclosed you will find details on the latest progress made across the campaign, including planetary tech, ship behaviors, and fluff terminals.
With the big push to release 4.0 and Squadron 42 reaching its Feature Complete milestone, our resources have had to shift around as new needs arise at an increased frequency than in the past. This created a significant challenge in maintaining the Progress Tracker. The team is working to push Squadron 42 toward the finish line while balancing this with ensuring Star Citizen receives new features, content, and updates. At this stage of development, especially with such a big focus on Squadron 42 polish, developers or even entire teams may need to shift focus quickly when necessary work presents itself. This dynamic approach is different from our usual internal flow and has required a bit more flexibility and nimble nature
This just an update about a Roadmap Update that's not ready yet, but soon.
Classic Star Citizen!
The actors who starred in this will probably never see their own work. Something to think about.
They already did see more than us because they worked very close with studio on the game and on every scene etc.. and they have seen the last Gameplay footage and other Trailers.
most actors don't even watch their own movies
others don't even play the games they were in
there are more than
20 actors who have admitted to not watching their own movies
Dakota Johnson. Joaquin Phoenix...Javier Bardem. ..Johnny Depp... Helena Bonham Carter.. Maggie Smith. .Megan Fox. Reese Witherspoon...
What are you going on about? You missed the whole point of his comment. Jingsing meant that the actors will probably never see their work released commercially in a finished and completed form. The game is in perpetual development and the developers have no intention of finishing it as long as they keep getting money from people. Mark Hamill will most likely be dead before this game is finished and released commercially.
So many angry people in the comments LoL! 🤣
acting like they paid anything for the game smh.
You don't have to be scammed personally to recognize and be annoyed at a scammer. I've never been scammed by a Nigerian Prince but the people who run that scam still suck.
Didn't see the last big gameplay reveal of Squadron 42? Looks awesome and since it's feature complete a release late 2025 doesn't seem too unrealistic.
If this hadn't been revealed prematurely, people would have lost their minds.
@PrinceOfAnger
People are angry because this "game" was promised to be released 10 years ago at least (almost 12 if you're counting original Kickstarter promises), in 2014, it's 2024 right now and it's nowhere in sight. And this "roadmap" update just says «we don’t have a Release View update today». They can't even update their own progress tracker («This created a significant challenge in maintaining the Progress Tracker»), promising to do this at least from november 2023. And now they're thinking about starting anew and archiving the old progress tracker (post #7038930 by JakeAcappella-CIG).
I don't know how about you, but to me this screams mismanagement and misallocation of resources, deadlines aren't being met and no one takes any responsibility for it. I would gladly pay for the offline singleplayer game, yet it's a joke at this point, they keep saying "It's almost feature complete, we're polishing" for 7+ months at least.
For G-d's sake, see the reactions and read through the comments in the source link, people are getting annoyed and fed up. And they have paid money for this.
Tbf, it is also an absurdly ambitious project. Star Citizen in itself is absurd. But what they are doing with Squadron also seems to be a lot more than what you would get in a regular AAA game. You have fully realized space flight and fps combat in the same game.
Could potentially be super janky and bad in a myriad of ways, but I fail to see how the scope of what they have shown us isn't impressive. I used to be sceptical, but I also really want to play something like Squadron and I think what they have shown us looks pretty fantastic.

First, you submit this article and then you complain about people hating on it. What did you expect considering the game was supposed to release 10 years ago and keeps leeching hundreds of millions of dollars from people but is nowhere close to being finished?
But Squadron is pretty close to being finished? Star Citizen isn't, but atleast it's very much playable and available to fuck around in.
An actor's resume revealed that games like Clockwork Revolution, Ace Combat 8, Squadron 42, and possibly Borderlands 4, might launch in 2025.
If only we get Squadron 42 in 2025!
It will be a great year for PC
with, Gears of war E-day
Fable, Perfect Dark, DOOM dark age and
South of Midnight.
Its wayy too good to be true ... honestly ..
SQ42 hitting PC just before GTA VI hitting consoles ... would be an amazing launch, ngl. That game's been highly anticipated in the PC community.
And I can safely assume Sony will also schedule another PC port(s) for 2025 ... TLOU II is certain, if not for 2024, along with Spider-Man 2 maybe? We already got 3 for 2024.
We will know more about S42 in October this year with a new Gameplay Trailer etc and maybe a release date? , they removed the buying option from their site maybe a price change?, it was 45$.
BL4 should just erase BL3 completely and start directly after the events of Borderlands The Pre-Sequel.
Star Citizen creator Chris Roberts announced that the roadmap to release will be revealed later this year while offering details on the state and future of the project and mentioning that 2023 was its best year ever.
Yeah. Roberts' infatuation with Roadmaps is quite telling; it's clear that this is one of their tactics to drum up support for more money for the eventual "release."
This is at the end of Roberts' roadmap to the new roadmap:
"In a marathon, they say the last mile is the hardest, but to quote the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius, 'What we do now echoes in eternity!'"
"You were there for the iconic helmet flip and the opening of the hangar doors for the first time in Alpha 0.8. Together, we explored the vast expanse of the Persistent Universe for the first time in Alpha 2.0, and you were onboard for the inaugural planetary landing in Alpha 3.0. And soon we will be leaving the Stanton System as we venture into the lawless wastelands of the Pyro system in Alpha 4.0 thanks to Server Meshing. And beyond this Star Citizen 1.0 twinkles on the horizon! The future has never been so bright!"
Robert's is back in full Cult Leader mode Bay Bay!! LET'S EFFING GO!!! Daddy needs a new boat. Yeah!
If only we get a release date this year, but i think they will show new gameplay/trailer, at least i hope we get to play the game in 2025
super excited for squadron 42 and Hellblade 2 i will probably need a new GPU!
Colored hairy pubes are now a thing ! See youi in 2456 when the game will be finished ... but you can still send us your money. Cheers
