Spillet udvikles af Motive Studios, som stod bag kampagnen i Star Wars Battlefront II. Ian Frazier, Creative Director, Motive Studios siger i forbindelse med annonceringen:
We created this game for every Star Wars fan who has ever dreamt about soaring across the galaxy in their favorite starfighter. Through the collaboration of the teams at Motive and Lucasfilm, we’ve been able to create a high-fidelity starfighter experience with an authentic storyline that invites Star Wars fans to explore never-before-seen corners of the galaxy in their own ship. We’re excited to show all this in action this week at EA Play Live.
Star Wars: Squadrons udkommer den 2. oktober i år til PlayStation 4, Xbox One og PC - og det vil kunne spilles i VR på PlayStation 4 og PC med cross-play.
På EA Play den 18. juni vil Electronic Arts afsløre mere fra Star Wars: Squadrons.
