Titan Squadron’s in a pinch

Star Wars: Squadronsis suiting up for takeoff next month, as are the pilots you’ll meet during your space battles. Motive Studios have produced a new story short to introduce you to one of ‘em. Varko Grey is in a spot of trouble when he misses the bus during an Imperial retreat from battle. It’s called “Hunted”, which is what happens when an Alliance pilot spots him adrift without his squad.

Funny how the right framing can make a  jaunty orange-wearing Alliance pilot look downright dastardly as he’s chasing down a wounded Imperial. This here’s some Empire propaganda, it is.

The campaign will put you in the cockpit of two different pilots—one Imperial and one Alliance. EA say that Grey is one of the squadmates you’ll fight alongside. You can even spot him in that earlier intro toStar Wars: Squadrons’ storyfrom last month.

Star Wars: Squadronswill launch on October 2nd for £35/€40/$40 onSteam,Origin, andthe Epic Games Store. Apparently there’s anX-Wing styled Fortnite gliderin it for ya if you choose to buy it through Epic.
