Looks like the next Star Wars game will be about flying.
This could be fun.

Hnnnnnggggnnn!!!
Very cinematic. Spaceship dogfighting combat looks good. Will be an amazing VR experience I think. Squads of 5. 5v5 battles? Wonder whether co-op, forced multiplayer, or solo with AI?
I need a shower.
Some bits and pieces picked up from various places:
- Price: $40 (Seems low - little content? Lots behind âSeason Passesâ?)
- Release date: October 2nd
- VR Support on PC and PS4
- Crossplay support
- Is a first-person 5v5 dog-fighter
- Single player campaign set after the events of Return of the Jedi

Supposedly going to happen during the EA Plays event on Thursday:
Thatâs 4:00pm EST in the US, which is 1:00am on Friday morning for us, so itâll have to wait until a reasonable time to watch a review or two.

VR and HOTAS support. Iâm very interested, as long as the single player is good. Couldnât care less about MP.

Not going to lie⌠it looks absolutely fantastic!
Plenty of content for both solo play and the multiplayer preferences. Equal content for both sides, AI or IRL squad mates for Fleet Battles, 4 ship classes, tons of customisation options (all available through play, no micro transactions?) - I mean⌠Ewok bobblehead on the dash!? How could you not be sold on that fact alone 
Add in completely VR enabled and a pretty decent price for both PC and consoles⌠the last quarter of the year is going to help make up for the shitty first half!

This does look amazing, but it also looks very multiplayer focused. So Iâll reserve my hype until there is some concrete evidence of a proper single player.

Uhhh, did you maybe miss the part where I said âEwok bobblehead on the dashâ? EWOK BOBBLEHEAD!!!
That should be enough to get you hyped AF!

Seriously though, do agree that a lot will hinge on the quality of the single player experience.
That said, I reckon thereâs enough space game and Star Wars loving folk around here that we may even be able to put together a vaguely capable 5 person squad for the occasional multiplayer round or two.

Iâll also wait for some ârealâ gameplay footage. I mean, the official Anthem gameplay trailer made it look pretty good.
