Electronic Arts simply can’t preserve a lid on these new house opera games they’ve received hanging within the hangar. A game titled Star Wars: Squadrons popped up on the Microsoft Store at present with some key artwork and the phrase “pilots wanted.” There wasn’t a date related, however I think about we are able to all guess there’s a correct announcement deliberate for this right here Squadrons game in brief order, eh?
The Squadrons web page was briefly up on the Microsoft Store earlier at present and was captured and uploaded on Resetera. The poster notes that the “pre-order now” button didn’t lead anyplace, however possible signifies the game might be for buy, not a free-to-play game.
Previously on Star Wars: Leaks, a Twitter bot posting about uploads to the PlayStation retailer gave up the important thing artwork for something called Star Wars: Project Maverick. At the time, I and folks ’around the web speculated that Maverick may very well be a Rogue Squadron game—that star wars pilot ’em up from the Nintendo 64 period. The title Star Wars: Squadrons actually appears to assist that speculation. Whether Maverick and Squadrons are the identical game or not isn’t clear, although they’ve each received X-wing fighters on ’em.
Before the Maverick leak, a current Kotaku report had claimed that EA at the moment have two new Star Wars games within the works. One of which is outwardly “a smaller, more unusual project” being labored on at EA Motive. Kotaku confirmed on the time that, in response to their information, Project Maverick is Motive’s challenge.
