Star Citizen's Squadron 42 Singleplayer Campaign Finally Feature Complete, Enters Polishing Phase

Game developer Cloud Imperium focuses on optimizing gameplay experience in expansive single player campaign, which features Hollywood-tier cast including Mark Hamill and Gillian Anderson, with no release date announced yet.

After 11 years in development, the Squadron 42 singleplayer campaign for Star Citizen is now feature-complete and has entered the polishing phase. The game aims to deliver an unprecedented cinematic adventure but lacks a definite release date.
Game director Chris Roberts has resisted estimations on a release date, warning that the polishing phase may take 'some time' and promising that fans would be the first to know of a 'locked release date'.
Squadron 42's campaign features Hollywood-tier actors such as Mark Hamill, Gillian Anderson, Gary Oldman, Mark Strong, and Ben Mendelsohn. However, some critics argue that it's distracting to see so many familiar faces in their CGI forms.
The gameplay ranges from space combat to first-person shooting and environmental puzzles that bear resemblances to puzzles from Half-Life 2. Despite some criticism about the generic outlook of the combat, the game boasts impressive details such as destructible cover and gun malfunction.
Despite its development, Cloud Imperium Games touts the game's scale and ambition, with Squadron 42 intended to introduce players to the expansive Star Citizen universe. However, the extensive development time has led to discussions about 'feature creep' within the industry.
