Wing Commander – это космический авиасимулятор, где игрок выступает в роли пилота истребителя в составе флота Конфедерации. Сюжет разворачивается в будущем, в ходе войны между людьми и кошачьей расой килрати. Геймплей состоит из выполнения боевых заданий, включающих в себя воздушные бои, сопровождение кораблей и уничтожение вражеских целей. Игрок управляет истребителем от первого лица, используя различное вооружение и маневры. Успех в миссиях влияет на развитие сюжета и взаимоотношения с другими пилотами. Важную роль играет выбор тактики и эффективное использование ресурсов истребителя. Между миссиями игрок может взаимодействовать с другими персонажами на борту авианосца, получая информацию и задания. Динамичный сюжет и захватывающие космические сражения – ключевые особенности Wing Commander.
Star Citizen 's single-player mode, Squadron 42, has made a reappearance with a new trailer showing off the mode's impressive cast and interstellar warfare. In development for 12 years, the ambitious mode blends outer space dogfighting and first-person action, set during an era when hostile alien forces have pushed humanity to the brink of defeat. From Mark Hamill (who knows a thing or two about space combat) to Gary Oldman, the rest of the cast also includes Gillian Anderson, Ben Mendelsohn, Henry Cavill, Andy Serkis, John Rhys-Davies, Rhona Mitra, and more famous faces in the mix. "While GTA 6 isn’t launching on PC this November, pretty much all outlets and most content creators will be all over it, not leaving a lot of room for other coverage." Development on Star Citizen is still ongoing, and the game has raised over $1 billion in funding since it was first announced.

You wait ages for new information on a Chris Roberts-directed space combat sim, and then two lots come along at once. Less than 24 hours after Cloud Imperium Games surprise-released a glossy trailer for Star Citizen's single-player spinoff Squadron 42, it now appears that Roberts' 1994 classic Wing Commander 3 is getting a remaster courtesy of EA. The project is headed up by EA producer Jim Vessella, who revealed the remaster during a presentation at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo. Re-release of Wing Commander III coming out with video taken from the original tapes courtesy of a restoration project led by Jim Vessella who has been digitizing the EA video archive — @stevelin.bsky.social (@stevelin.bsky.social.bsky.social) 2026-10-11T10:30:58.361Z Alongside Wing Commander 4, Wing Commander 3 is generally regarded as the strongest entry in the series, heightening the cinematic flair of the games with a stellar voice cast including Mark Hamill and John Rhys-Davies (both of whom also appear in Squadron 42).
Squadron 42 has a Steam page Star Citizen's singleplayer mode gets a new trailer and more signs of life. In August, game director Chris Roberts said that Star Citizen's singleplayer component, Squadron 42, was being delayed out of 2026 to avoid clashing with Grand Theft Auto 6. There was a certain amount of skepticism about the reason for the delay, thanks in part to a recent Star Citizen livestream being declared a disaster, but also because, well. The Steam page lists Squadron 42's release date as Q2 2027, and I'd love to see it actually release on that date and be the solid combo of Wing Commander and Half-Life 2 that happens to have Gillian Anderson and Henry Cavill in the cutscenes that's being promised here.
Star Citizen developer Cloud Imperium Games has pulled back the curtain on single-player spinoff Squadron 42 with a new cinematic trailer, the launch of Steam wishlists, and a full cast reveal. Squadron 42 is the story-driven off-shoot of space sim Star Citizen, which Cloud Imperium Games has worked on for the last 12 years. Indeed, Squadron 42 is a spiritual successor to Wing Commander, and like the Wing Commander games, Squadron 42 features a string of Hollywood stars, such as Mark Hamill, Gary Oldman, Gillian Anderson, Ben Mendelsohn, and Henry Cavill. Star Citizen cast - Mark Hamill - Gary Oldman - Mark Strong - John Rhys-Davies - Henry Cavill - Ben Mendelsohn - Liam Cunningham - Andy Serkis - Jack Huston - Rhona Mitra - Eleanor Tomlinson - Sandi Roberts - Harry Treadaway - Danny Huston - Jonathan Bailey - Gillian Anderson - Ian Duncan - Alix Wilton Regan - Damson Idris - Jane Perry In August, CIG delayed Squadron 42 to Q2 2027, with Roberts insisting it wouldn’t get the attention it deserves if it came out at the end of 2026 because of November’s GTA 6.
Squadron 42 delayed to 2027, with Star Citizen dev blaming GTA 6 Citizen's arrest. Cloud Imperium Games has delayed Squadron 42, its long-in-development Star Citizen spin-off, to Q2 2027, with studio boss Chris Roberts arguing the game would be drowned out by GTA 6. But much like the rest of the industry, there is no way I want to launch my spiritual successor to Wing Commander, a game that has had twelve years of blood, sweat and tears invested into it (we started Squadron 42 development in 2014 as 2013 was opening studios, hiring people and getting the Hangar module out for Star Citizen) launching into the attention buzz saw of GTA6. Cloud Imperium Games' multiplayer sci-fi sim Star Citizen topped $1 billion in crowdfunding in May.
Cloud Imperium delays Squadron 42 to 2027 – "There is no way I want to launch into the attention buzz saw of GTA 6" CEO and co-founder Chris Roberts says the Star Citizen spin-off "needs the opportunity to have the focus of the wider gaming world" The release of Star Citizen spin-off Squadron 42 has been postponed to Q2 2027 to avoid "launching into the attention buzz saw of Grand Theft Auto 6." Cloud Imperium Games CEO and co-founder Chris Roberts emphasised that the game "needs the opportunity to have the focus of the wider gaming world." "Much like the rest of the industry, there is no way I want to launch my spiritual successor to Wing Commander, a game that has had twelve years of blood, sweat and tears invested into it (we started Squadron 42 development in 2014 as 2013 was opening studios, hiring people and getting the Hangar module out for Star Citizen) into the attention buzz saw of GTA 6." "While GTA 6 isn’t launching on PC this November, pretty much all outlets and most content creators will be all over it, not leaving a lot of room for other coverage." Squadron 42 features a prominent cast, including Gary Oldman, Gillian Anderson, Mark Hamill, Andy Serkis, and Henry Cavill. Roberts added that a "small number of original backers and long-time Star Citizen content creators" will have access to Squadron 42 this October. Additional announcements regarding the game's release will follow "shortly afterwards." "I know a lot of you will be disappointed to not be playing Squadron 42 at the end of this year, but it is the best thing for the project as it is truly something special and so needs the opportunity to have the focus of the wider gaming world." Star Citizen has been in development since 2012 and has raised over $1 billion through crowdfunding and early access sales, despite not having a formal release date. Earlier this year, Cloud Imperium co-founder Sandi Roberts said the game was "imminently" close to launch.

Star Citizen single-player spinoff Squadron 42 has been delayed to 2027, with developer Chris Roberts insisting it wouldn't get the attention it deserves because of Grand Theft Auto 6. In a new blog post, Cloud Imperium Games CEO Chris Roberts announced that Squadron 42 will be launching in Q2 2027. The studio had previously announced 2026 as its release window and reaffirmed late last year that it was still targeting that. "But much like the rest of the industry there is no way I want to launch my spiritual successor to Wing Commander, a game that has had twelve years of blood, sweat and tears invested into it (we started Squadron 42 development in 2014 as 2013 was opening studios, hiring people and getting the Hangar module out for Star Citizen) launching into the attention buzz saw of GTA 6.
While EA is largely known as the sports, Battlefield, and Sims factory these days – they also occasionally allow BioWare to release an RPG if the studio does so quietly enough – the studio's catalog includes many, many more franchises. What's going to become of all those IPs after the Saudi Arabia-led buyout of the company? Well, maybe some of them can be sold off to more attentive homes. Because we see every day the importance of IPs." Latest Videos FromGamesRadar+ EA's taking $20 billion in debt as part of the buyout, and it's widely expected that mass layoffs are going to be a big part of getting that debt under control.
Новые владельцы Electronic Arts могут пересмотреть судьбу менее востребованных франшиз компании, а также оценить дальнейшее финансирование тайтлов BioWare. Об этом заявил директор по рыночной аналитике Newzoo Эммануэль Розье, который ранее девять лет работал в EA. Его слова привело издание PC Gamer. Ведущим инвестором стал Суверенный фонд Саудовской Аравии (PIF), которому, по оценкам СМИ, теперь принадлежат 93% активов.
"The game business has changed". American video game developer Warren Spector has announced he's retiring from game development, and although he's "been here before", this time he's "pretty sure" he means it. In a post on LinkedIn, the industry legend known for Deus Ex , Epic Mickey , and also his work on series such as Wing Commander , Ultima and System Shock , said the game business had changed, and admitted it's not "as much fun" for him anymore. After 44 years in development, he also realises it's time for a new generation, who deserve their time in the sun.
Известный гейм-дизайнер Уоррен Спектор (Warren Spector) объявил об уходе из разработки игр. За свою карьеру он успел поработать над Ultima VI: The False Prophet, Wing Commander, System Shock, Thief: Deadly Shadows и создал серию Deus Ex. Спектор начал карьеру в 1989 году в Origin Systems, где участвовал в создании Ultima VI и Wing Commander. Особенно приятно осознавать, что в некоторые из этих игр люди до сих пор играют спустя 15, 20 и даже 30 лет.
Амбициозный космический симулятор Star Citizen от студии Cloud Imperium Games (CIG) с создателем Wing Commander Крисом Робертсом (Chris Roberts) у руля пока не выглядит игрой за миллиард долларов. Источник изображений: Cloud Imperium Games Напомним, спустя 14 лет разработки и $1 млрд краудфандинговых сборов Star Citizen находится на стадии «альфа». В частности, разработчики решили показать в деле динамическое событие Siege of Orison, которое должно было стать частью альфа-версии 4.9 (вышла в середине июля), но оказалось перенесено на 4.10 (ожидается до конца августа). На доведении Star Citizen до версии 1.0 (ожидается в 2027−2028 году) в CIG сосредоточатся после выпуска Squadron 42 (запланирован на 2026 год, но это не точно) — амбициозного сюжетного боевика во вселенной Star Citizen.

Star Citizen stream lifts veil on the $1 billion crowdfunded game's buggy state after 14 years in development, and neither devs nor fans seem impressed: "Such a s*** show" Star Citizen has been in development for a whopping 14 years now, having accumulated well over a billion dollars in the process – so, how's it looking so far? It's become a bit infamous online, with countless content creators covering the $1 billion or so backing Star Citizen (notably all via crowdfunding, mind you) and lack of any solid release date over a decade on.

Spector announced his decision on LinkedIn, writing that while he'd been down this road before and then changed his mind, he's pretty certain this time. "The reasons to retire are simple: I'm a month away from my 44th year as a developer," he wrote. I've worked on more digital games than I can remember – 17 full games, I think, and nine or so add-on packs." Spector joined Origin Systems in 1989, where he co-produced Ultima 6 and Wing Commander.

Источник изображения: Eidos Interactive По словам Спектора, в прошлом он уже собирался уходить на пенсию, но впоследствии передумал. В этот раз разработчик настроен более серьёзно: «Вернусь ли я? Но, думаю, пришло время уехать в закат».
Battlefield 6's next big update, 1.4.1.0, is launching on July 21, introducing Season 4 : Pacific Front and a naval warfare system. The update also brings back a feature that Battlefield hasn't had since 2005's Battlefield 2, and it looks like a Top Gun crossover is coming as well. No Battlefield game since Battlefield 2 has had those, according to Eurogamer , but they are finally coming back, or at least that's what fans are surmising based on the Season 4 announcement trailer.
