In case you aren’t familiar with what Squadrons is all about, let’s have a brief look at this game. With Squadrons, EA has made a one-of-its-kind first-person space combat simulation. What truly gives this title the edge is the fact that it fully supports virtual reality. Accordingly, players will be able to enjoy all modes of this game (even the multiplayer ones) in VR. With that said, you would need the supported VR gear to enjoy this experience.
When it comes to the storyline, Star Wars: Squadrons continues from what happened in Return of the Jedi and the decimation of the second Death Star. Moreover, this title is going to be a follow-up to Electronic Arts’ Star Wars: X-Wing and Star Wars: TIE Fighter, which was both combat-based games. Apart from that, there are going to be plenty of cameos as well from Star Wars characters such as Hera Syndulla, and Wedge Antilles.

As far as gameplay is concerned, you will be in control of a starship with which you’ll have to fight against all your enemies. You’ll be seeing the action live from your cockpit from where you’ll be able to get feedback on power management, targeting, and shields. Other than that, players will also have the freedom to choose from eight iconic starfighters and support ships that divides into four classes: Fighter class (X-Wing and TIE Fighter); Interceptor class (A-Wing and TIE Interceptor); Bomber class (Y-Wing and TIE Bomber); and Support class (TIE Reaper and U-Wing).
When it comes to game modes, we have the single-player campaign where you can play as the New Republic Vanguard Squadron and the Imperial Titan Squadron. For the multiplayer option, it will be possible to customize not only your starships but also their pilots. This online battle will be five on five and under varying conditions that players can choose. Plus, the online mode supports cross-play so that you and your friends can play together even if you’re on different platforms. Fleet Battles is another exciting mode that’s available for both single-player and multiplayer, where you have to fight for gaining control of an entire battlespace.
