So Squadron 42 is sold separately? How much does it cost?

You can see Chris Roberts talk about that in a bit more detail here. CIG has also previously suggested that completing Squadron 42 will grant you ‘citizenship’ in the persistent universe, which has a few perks such as lower tax rates. However, some of the actions you take in Squadron 42 will cross over to Star Citizen, should you choose to make the jump.Ĭertain decisions will, for example, open up vendors in the persistent universe. You can think of Squadron 42 and Star Citizen, for the most part, as separate entities: You don’t have to own one to play the other, and they’re both fully-priced games. How is Squadron 42 linked to Star Citizen’s persistent universe? Do you need to own both to play one of them? There are plenty more trailers to choose from: you can watch them by browsing our Star Citizen tag. The second is the most recent Squadron 42 trailer, a non-gameplay "visual teaser" that CIG released at the end of 2019. Watch it below, and if you want developer commentary, that version is here.

What is the Squadron 42 release date?Īfter a series of delays-Squadron 42, like Star Citizen, was initially due to launch in 2014-we still don't really have an idea when it will launch. However, last year Foundry 42 rebranded, essentially bringing it under the wider Cloud Imperium banner, and Squadron 42 is now being developed by multiple CIG studios. Additionally, players have the option to wipe their own account if needed.Squadron 42 was initially being developed by Foundry 42, a studio within CIG led by Chris Roberts' brother Erin, who also worked on the original Wing Commander. Player account resets will happen more sporadically going forward. **Star Citizen Alpha 3.8.2 introduced the first implementation of persistence. Additionally, an interim patch, Alpha 3.7.2 did not have a balance rest.
