In Star Wars: Squadrons, players will enlist as star-fighter pilots,entering directly into the cockpits of the iconic star destroyers, both the New Republic and the Imperial fleet. They plan skirmishes with their squadron in the boardroom, before facing space battles across the galaxy. Players will engage in 5v5 strategic interstellar fights, aiming to demolish the flagship enemy ship in fleet battles, and experience the thrill of multiplayer combat firsthand as they work with their squadron to defeat as many opponents as possible during the dogfight. Pilots will triumph as a team, improving their team's composition based on progress, crushing their opponents and achieving goals both through known locations and through places never seen before, including Yavin Prime's gas giant and Galitan's shattered moon.
Star Wars: Squadrons will offer rich cosmetic and gaming customization options, with rewards and bonuses earned exclusively through the game. As players level up, they gain components such as weapons, hulls, engines, and shields to customize their cockpit, spacecraft exteriors, and pilot appearance. In addition, players will be able to team up with their friends and play against other players regardless of the platform, as cross-play will be supported on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC and VR.
Star Wars: Squadrons will also present a single-player story that will bring to life several events following the Battle of Endor, when the Rebel Alliance successfully destroyed the Death Star II. Throughout the story, players will learn what it means to be a pilot, as they battle the alternate perspectives of two customizable drivers, one serving the heroic Vanguard squadron of the New Republic, and the other in the galactic's fearsome Titan squadron. The authentic story features a diverse cast of original characters as well as some cameos of familiar faces in the Star Wars galaxy.
