We know that Star Citizen will also have a single-player component. Could you provide a few details on the same?asked by Ravi Sinha
TL;DRChris Roberts describes Squadron 42 as a more linear, story-driven, Wing Commander-style single-player campaign on a military carrier, built mainly by the Manchester studio, with no story details shared yet.
It's Squadron 42, the single-player component and it's essentially Wing Commander, a next-generation Wing Commander set in our universe and it has a really great story which I think people are really going to like. But it's that style of gameplay, you're out in a military carrier, running military missions…it's more linear than the open Star Citizen sandbox with the Universe but it's got characters and narrative than a sandbox game.
Right now, we don't want to talk much about the story since that would kind of ruin it. But I think it's pretty cool and the key to building that is our newest studio in Manchester, UK and it's my brother and all his team members and leaders that were at Traveller's Tales, making LEGO games the last seven years and before that they built Star Lancer for me and Digital Anvil and they also built Privateer 2. They're incredibly knowledgeable and they're really great and they're taking the lead on it. So far they're doing really great work.
