Squadron 42 isn't coming out anytime soon - briefly
(hx) 12:49 PM CET - Dec,25 2020 - Post a comment / read (1)
Cloud Imperium has issued a new progress update, in which it revealed that Squadron 42 is nowhere close to being complete. As such, the team does not plan to show any gameplay footage for this game for the foreseeable future. In fact, you should not expect to be playing this single-player space combat game anytime soon. Chris Robert claimed that he does not want to release a buggy game, and that the awful release of Cyberpunk 2077 is something that Cloud Imperium tries to avoid. Because of this I have decided that it is best to not show Squadron 42 gameplay publicly, nor discuss any release date until we are closer to the home stretch and have high confidence in the remaining time needed to finish the game to the quality we want.
Ironically, Squadron 42’s beta phase was meant to launch in Q2 2020. Then, in August 2019, Cloud Imperium claimed that the beta has been delayed by twelve weeks. And in October 2020, the team stated that there is no ETA on when it will launch. In short, don’t expect to be playing Squadron 42 anytime soon.

What's disgusting about this is the way CIG refuses to acknowledge any delays until it's patently obvious to everyone. That happened in 2016, it happened in 2018 and it happened again this year. This time CIG even had a roadmap with all the tasks required for the 2020 release, yet that roadmap was ignored from 2019 and officially abandoned at the beginning of this year. Despite that, CIG never acknowledged any delay. There was also a game mode call Theaters of War due to be released early 2020 but that isn't even talked about any more. I really don't see the motivation to release anything especially with +$300M budget :-)

quote: the awful release of Cyberpunk 2077 is something that Cloud Imperium tries to avoid That's a good idea, but it's really up to you. If you build a shit product, your will release shit.
