There is Wedge Antilles in #StarWarsSquadrons , set after the events of Return of the Jedi.

The entire game will be playable in PSVR from beginning to end and will support crossplay across PC, Xbox One, and PS4.

It will be released on October 2, 2020.

On Pc, it will also support VR, as the game is featuring first-person starship action.

@MitchyD (Battlefront II, 2017) and @Joanna_Berry (Star Wars: The Old Republic. , 2011) wrote the campaign (which should be a few hours long).

@MitchyD @Joanna_Berry Maps confirmed: Yavin Prime, Galitan moon.

You can modify your ship and... redirect power between its different systems? As in X-Wing flight sim?! <3

5v5 online battles, and low price (not 60 dollars then).

@MitchyD @Joanna_Berry We'll see gameplay June 18, at EA Play.

@MitchyD @Joanna_Berry 5v5: "Fleet Battles will see the two sides compete to destroy the other's flagship, while Dogfights sound like a more traditional team deathmatch mode. "

@MitchyD @Joanna_Berry This game was developed and pitched by creative director @tibermoon (Dawn of War: Soulstorm, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, Mass Effect: Andromeda).

"We created this game for every Star Wars fan who has ever dreamt about soaring across the galaxy in their favorite starfighter."

@MitchyD @Joanna_Berry @tibermoon "We've been able to create a high-fidelity starfighter experience with an authentic storyline that invites Star Wars fans to explore never-before-seen corners of the galaxy in their own ship."

@MitchyD @Joanna_Berry @tibermoon Time to buy this VR headset. I waited for this game ^^

@MitchyD @Joanna_Berry @tibermoon Congrats Mel!

@MitchyD @Joanna_Berry @tibermoon "Join Forces or Compete with Others Across Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Virtual Reality and PC Via Origin, Steam and the Epic Games Store with Cross-play Support".

1st person, VR, cross-platform, that's just perfect.

@MitchyD @Joanna_Berry @tibermoon "An original story set during the final days of the Galactic Empire and the rise of the New Republic after the events of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi".

It could finish on the battle of Jakku (as BF2 before DLC).

@MitchyD @Joanna_Berry @tibermoon "IThrough the story, players will learn what it means to be a pilot as they battle from the alternating perspectives of two customizable pilots, one serving in the New Republic’s heroic Vanguard Squadron, while the other fights for the Galactic Empire’s fearsome Titan Squadron."

@MitchyD @Joanna_Berry @tibermoon All of this is promising, but now I'm waiting to see the gameplay in 3 days :)

Vanguard Squadron: X-wing, Y-wing, A-wing, U-wing.

Titan Squadron: TIE Fighter, TIE Interceptor, TIE Bomber, TIE Reaper.

Reminder : This is a fan account, doing research on SW games and LucasArts for a book. But in a day like this, I’m a free PR guy 😂

Of course it was already in the last Alphabet Squadron book.
(a few weeks ago, I thought Maverick was Alphabet Squadron: The game ^^)
