Buckle up, Star Wars fans: what we have was hot intel on X-Wing and TIE Fighter scenarios for a forthcoming game (or maybe an update?). FN_Assist tweeted that those ships would have multiplayer functions so that players may squad up or simply fly alone in the cockpit.
X-Wings, the legendary Rebel starfighters, allow 1-4 players to team up, so you and three friends can finally live out that Rogue Squadron fantasy. Meanwhile, 1-2 players can use the Empire’s clean TIE Fighters for a little more… aggressive flying. No word yet on whether this is for a new game, expansion, or some kind of surprise update, but the hype is real.
The tweet didn’t mention which game the mechanics were for, but fans were already staring into the crystal ball. “Is this for Star Wars: Squadrons 2? Surprise Battlefront III revelation?” Or could it be an update to one of the titles already in existence? No context has gotten the community all bubbled up, but surely these multiplayer dogfights in Star Wars are going to get crazier than ever.
And frankly, who wouldn’t want to blast TIEs with three friends in an X-Wing? Or if you really want to be mean, you and your buddy could team up to take out a couple of Rebels in a TIE Fighter.
The list goes on and on, and once a handful of guests decide to argue over who is flying, well, we already know who will win.
Beyond bizarre that so far nobody’s commented on the original tweet—Star Wars fans usually do have some opinion on this stuff. Maybe everybody’s too busy yelling inside their flight helmets to type.
Heck, maybe the silence signals an even greater announcement coming down the turnpike. Either way, warm up those engines, because if this is real, we’re due for some very fast-paced and high-stakes space combat.
And who will be shouting “PULL UP, PULL UP” at their teammates in real-time? Because if this is what we think it is, the multiplayer aspect of Star Wars flight combat is about to reach a whole new level. Just, whatever you do, avoid kamikaze-ing into any Death Stars, okay? May the Force be with whoever spoiled this for the fans.
