Cloud Imperium Games has reportedly pushed back the launch of Squadron 42, its long-awaited single-player title connected to Star Citizen. The game, which has been in active development for an extended period, is now slated for release in the second quarter of 2027. This adjustment marks a notable shift for the ambitious project.
The reason for this delay, as communicated by studio boss Chris Roberts, is a strategic move to avoid direct competition with Grand Theft Auto 6. Roberts reportedly voiced concerns that Squadron 42’s debut could be heavily overshadowed by the immense industry buzz surrounding Rockstar Games’ upcoming blockbuster, leading to the decision to reschedule its launch to a later, potentially clearer window. This information is based on reporting by Eurogamer.net.
