Cloud Imperium Games has announced that Squadron 42 is now feature complete. The studio released a lengthy 26-minute video showcasing various aspects of Squadron 42. Check out the video below. The studio has stated that, since the single-player title is now feature complete, development has now moved on to optimising, fine-turning, and generally adding some polish to the title.
According to senior game director Richard Tyrer, Squadron 42 will feature tactical FPS combat and stealth in its gameplay. Tyrer goes on to talk about improved weapon feel and balance, and even destructible environments.
“Ultimately, this is the final phase of gameplay iteration before we fully transition into optimization and stability on the road to release,” says Tyrer.
The studio is yet to announce a release date for Squadron 42, however, with studio boss Chris Roberts stating that the studio wants to make sure that the game can deliver on the promises of “being this generation’s Wing Commander.”
Last year, we got to see some in-engine footage of Squadron 42 thanks to a leak. The video featured 9 minutes of footage from the game, and was more of an montage showing off a number of locations and characters, as well as a bit of gameplay.
