Squadron 42 releasing this coming year
- Thread starter Shadow Reaper
- Start date
Well I've been disappointed in the past so if they actually hold true to their release date, I'll be pleasantly surprised.
They better not release in November though. That's when GTA VI comes out.

I seriously doubt it, for several reasons, like we've been told this before. Most importantly, though:
GTA6 is launching in October so sometime March through May GTA 6 is going to start their marketing blitz.
Before anyone says "But GTA 6 is an entirely different genre so not really a competitor." Yes, that is true, however GTA 6 is going to soak up all the limited Marketing bandwidth starting around Early April, late March. Launching a game when everyone is looking at something else and your marketing gets swallowed up and/or ignored, means the only people that will know about the launch are people that have already bought the game. You can't have a successful launch if nobody knows you launched. Spring 2027, at the earliest. The more likely answer though is "two years."
- CIG has said they want to have at least 6 months of marketing to build hype before release. (From a marketing standpoint that is about right.)
- CIG has said they don't want to launch around the time GTA 6 launches.
