Motive Studios’ Star Wars: Project Maverick was originally revealed through a listing on the PlayStation Store. It didn’t receive an official announcement but rumors stated that reveal would be coming soon. The official name of the project has been revealed – Star Wars: Squadrons.
Spotted on the home page for Xbox.com (though it’s seemingly been removed), the image showcases both Rebel and Imperial pilots. X-Wings, Y-Wings and A-Wings are shown battling TIE Fighters and TIE Bombers which pretty much indicates this to be space combat game. According to VentureBeat’s Jeff Grubb, who spoke to sources familiar with production, it is indeed a game focused on aerial and space combat.
Though it has a single-player campaign, team-based multiplayer seems to be the main focus. Star Wars: Squadrons is reportedly planned to release for consoles and PC in the Fall, though whether it will come to Xbox Series X or PS5 hasn’t been confirmed. Electronic Arts will be hosting EA Play Live on June 18th at 4 PM PT so we might see the game officially announced there. Stay tuned for more details in the meantime.
