Star Wars: Squadrons

Developed by the team at EA Motive, Star Wars: Squadrons is a dogfighting action game set after Return of the Jedi, with players bouncing back and forth between opposing factions; the New Republic and the Galatic Empire. Sharing some similarities with the Rogue Squadron games, gameplay occurs entirely in the cockpit of various iconic Star Wars ships, from X-Wings to Tie Fighters, as players will engage in high-speed dogfights in the middle of chaotic interstellar warfare.
