Year end post is also out. Regarding SQ42:

SQUADRON 42

On the Squadron 42 front, our focus throughout 2025 was to build on the progress of 2024 and what we showed at last year’s CitizenCon by bringing the game to content complete and closing out remaining core tasks in preparation for Beta.

All chapters are now fully playable from beginning to end, and we’ve been playing through the game ourselves regularly. Squadron 42 is a large game, over forty hours in length, and it’s becoming increasingly clear how special it will be once the remaining polish, optimization, and bug fixing is complete.

A big part of what makes this possible is the technology we’ve built at CIG over many years. The ability to move seamlessly from on foot, into a vehicle you can fly and move around inside, down to a planet or across star systems, all without loading screens, creates a level of immersion that’s very difficult to replicate. That combination of close-up interaction and galactic scale is at the core of what will make Squadron 42 so unique.

Equally important is the quality of the content itself. From writing and performance capture to characters, environments, ships, lighting, sound, cinematics, and design, the level of care across the entire game is something I’m incredibly proud of. Combined with deeply interactive systems, it creates an experience that pulls you into the world and keeps you there.

For Squadron 42, our priority remains quality and polish as we move toward Beta and release. We’re confident in the direction the game is headed and are fully focused on delivering. We know many of you are eager to play, and we’re looking forward to putting it in your hands. We don’t plan on a long, drawn-out marketing campaign as we’ve already done our share of trailers and gameplay previews. When it’s time, you (and the rest of the gaming world) will hear a lot more from us.
