WHAT THIS MEANS
Gamers worldwide have been receiving a bunch of good news lately. Yesterday, Sony unveiled the official look for the PlayStation 5 while also revealing a slew of new games along the way. And now, this new revelation about the long time rumored Project Maverick project under the Star Wars video game umbrella comes at a perfect time.
Recently, Jedi: Fallen Order proved to be a massive achievement for EA, which suggests that fans should get excited about the upcoming Squadrons game. However, Venture Beat did mention in their report that Squadrons is the “direct result” of EA wanting to release a new game ahead of schedule, potentially hinting that the rushed aspect of its development could be troublesome when the game is released.
Whatever the case, the upcoming release of Star Wars: Squadrons should be a welcome development for Star Wars gamers.
