WATCH: Short film drops for Star Wars Squadrons game

September 16th, 2020 by Marc Comments

Since we got the trailer in June (that was three months ago?!) (here), we’ve been waiting to get more content for Star Wars Squadrons.

And now we have a very cool new trailer for the game. It’s a short film, actually – and it’s pretty great.

Hunted is a seven-minute movie focusing on a battle between an Imperial Tie-fighter and an X-Wing fighter at the end of the battle of Endor over the surface of the planet Var-Shaa. The Imperial pilot is called Varko Grey and seems to just be trying to get away from the war before the rebel fighter starts to make it difficult.

Even more exciting, the short was part-produced by Industrial Light & Magic, which is probably why is looks as good as a battle in any of the movies.

Check it out below and let me know if you plan on jumping into this battle.

Plan every skirmish with your squadron in the briefing room before taking off to the evolving battlefields across the galaxy. Pilots will triumph as a team in known and never-before-seen locations, including the gas giant of Yavin Prime and the shattered moon of Galitan.

Take full control of different starfighter classes from both the New Republic and Imperial fleets, such as the X-wing and TIE fighter. Modify your ship, divert the power between its systems, and destroy your opponents in strategic space dogfights.

Compete in intense 5v5 dogfights, unite with your squadron to tip the scales in monumental fleet battles, and take off in a thrilling Star Wars™ single-player story. Immerse yourself in the pilot’s seat completely with the option to play the entirety of Star Wars™: Squadrons in virtual reality (VR) on PlayStation®4 and PC with cross-play support.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
