Fans of star citizens sigh deeply, rub the front while the developer casts doubt on the outing in 2026 of Squadron 42: “ I do not know if we are going to do it ”
Star Citizen may not be the most late video game of all time, but it must be a competitor among the first five, especially since it is now just less than $ 865 million (and no, there is not a zero wandering in there, that is to say eight hundred and sixty million scackoos) raised in the financing of the crowd. The developer Cloud Imperium Games recently reaffirmed a launch in 2026 for Squadron 42, the solo campaign of Star Citizen – that with Gary Oldman, Gillian Anderson and Mark Hamill – but the comment of a more recent developer triggered the doubt among some fans.
The Grim Tidings were delivered by content director Jared Huckaby during a recent Star Citizen Live showcase (via massively OP), in which he declared “there will be no presence of 42 squadron at CitizenCon Direct”, the two -hour online showcase which takes place on October 11.
“The team is moving down,” said Huckaby. “We have traced a line in the sand when we said 2026. I don’t know if we are going to get there, I just know that we are going to do everything possible to do it. And a game does not take time for the distraction of Citizencon.”
Huckaby said the developers are “on the right track” and that there is no mystery [or] Anything we’re hiding, “But you can probably guess where the attention was Immediately Focused. And Fair Enough:” I Don’t Know if’re Going to make it “is generally not the release of thing you say when you are confident you go to make it. Anyone Else for for me it is exactly the Sort of Thing I Say when I’m Pretty Damn Sure I’m’m not I’m going to get there and I want everyone to know that I tried very hard and that I made no promise.
“If they were really planning to publish it in 2026, we would now start to see marketing increase,” wrote a Redder. “Not talking to Citzencon is the full opposite.”
“S42 will be delayed at 2027. I am almost sure now,” added another.
“My son is 5 months old, and I expect to see him walk and speak before playing this game”, a third slept. “I will probably be able to teach him basic controls M&K before the release of this game. I’m not happy that this is the case, but it’s realistic.”
Huckaby himself quickly jumped into the wire to clarify that he was not referring to another 42 squadron delay.
“I said that * I * personally I cannot tell you what the future has in store for us, because honestly, it is the responsible answer for me to give with the way video games are made. Not our video games, all video games, “he wrote.” So no, * I don’t know the future, and I said everything is everything.
“And please, don’t confuse my pragmatism for any comments on the status of the game. I just try very, very difficult to speak as deliberately and clearly as possible: that I cannot sit here and tell you what the future holds, because in the whole history of the video team, which could never?”
Well, it’s fairly fair. Person really knownAfter all, isn’t it? I would say that Huckaby should probably have been a little more prudent with his wording if he did not want to make people get upset, but I will also emphasize that Squadron 42 was supposed to have been released in 2014, we had a roughly overview of a massive level and almost finished in 2015, the tests in beta were to start in 2020, which was complete. They cannot continue to get away with it 2025And yet here we are, faced with a quasi-certainty that the crowdfunding of star citizens in general exceeds $ 900 million before the squadron 42 was born, whether it releases in 2026 or not.
What if not? I do not think that will make a difference: those who believe that the line will hold the line and the rest of us will continue to look and marvel, and we will all wait to see what 2027 brings.
