Squadron 42 – Star Citizen Single-Player Campaign

Squadron 42 carries you through vast, cinematic locations—from kilometer-long capital ships and sprawling space stations to remote moons—blending intense FPS action with high-stakes spaceship combat. With deeply customizable ships, advanced weapons, flexible mission paths, and adaptive enemy AI, every encounter rewards smart tactics and makes victory feel earned.

Yes! Experience an unprecedented level of emotional depth through stunningly lifelike characters powered by cutting-edge performance capture from a world-class cast. Using one-to-one facial scanning, advanced facial rigs, blendshapes, and animated wrinkle and blood-flow maps, Squadron 42 transforms well over ten hours of captured performances into remarkably realistic, living characters.

Squadron 42 delivers a campaign where you step into the role of a UEE Navy pilot defending humanity from both alien threats and human adversaries. Serving alongside a richly developed crew, your choices, actions, and reputation shape personal relationships and the narrative, creating a character-focused experience within a larger galactic conflict.

No, Squadron 42 is currently unavailable for preorder. It was removed from the pledge store in May 2023 and is expected to return closer to its planned 2026 launch; for now, the only way to obtain a copy is by picking one up from another backer.

Yes, but in a limited way. Completing the initial Squadron 42 campaign is expected to grant UEE citizenship and may unlock access to certain military-adjacent ships, such as the Anvil F8C Lightning. Additional rewards or tie-ins are possible, but details remain unconfirmed and will become clearer closer to launch. If you've not yet tried Star Citizen, keep an eye out for the next free fly event!

Squadron 42 is planned to release as a trilogy, split into Mission Disks 1, 2, and 3. Backers who purchased the game before it was removed from the store in May 2023 will receive Mission Disk 1, while those who pledged before Star Citizen reached $6 million in funding will also receive Mission Disk 2 (Behind Enemy Lines, working title). All mission disks are expected to be available for purchase in the future, closer to their respective release dates.
