Star Wars: Squadrons, a new EA game, leaks out on the Microsoft Store as the real name of the rumored Project Maverick.
After a listing for a new game titled Star Wars: Squadrons, complete with some neat game art of X-Wing and Tie Fighter pilots, appeared briefly on the Microsoft Store, curiosity reignited about a new EA Star Wars game.
The listing was really just a title, game art, and a preorder button on the front page of the Microsoft Store, according to a screenshot shared on the forum Resetera. The button went nowhere and the only other info was the game’s subtitle: ‘Pilots wanted.’ No release date, price, or info on whether it would be coming to current consoles or just the upcoming PS5 and Xbox Series X.
Update: The cat’s out of the bag: EA quickly tweeted out an official confirmation of the game, complete with the title and previously-leaked art, as well as promise of a full trailer coming on Monday, June 15 at 8AM PT / 11AM ET (below).
Of course, Squadrons could be the next game EA has cooking for the franchise, reportedly code-named Star Wars Maverick – which itself has only seen scant details leaked aside from stylized game art.
