An overview of the game shows how missions start; a briefing occurs for the whole team, where they can choose from classic starfighters found in the Republic and Imperial fleets. The A-Wing and the TIE Bomber have both been revealed. As for the game, it will feature both a single-player and multiplayer story.

“Star Wars: Squadron” coincides with the return of the popularity of flight sims. Games like “Elite: Dangerous” and “Star Citizen” have been shown to create enough interest in the genre again. For "Star Wars" fans, this might be a return to the glory days when players were able to control starfighters.
