Chris Roberts hopes Squadron 42 will be “almost as big” as GTA VI next year

Chris Roberts, the lead developer of the highly anticipated game "Squadron 42," has expressed his hopes that the game will be "almost as big" as the upcoming "GTA VI" next year. This statement comes from a French report that also suggests the long-delayed "Star Citizen" might finally reach its 1.0 release in "2027 or 2028." The report indicates that Roberts is confident in the progress of "Squadron 42," a single-player campaign set in the "Star Citizen" universe. He believes the game has the potential to rival the scale and impact of the next installment in the "Grand Theft Auto" franchise, which is widely anticipated by the gaming community. The report also highlights the ongoing development of "Star Citizen," the crowdfunded space simulation game that has been in development for over a decade. Despite numerous delays, the developers are now aiming for a possible 1.0 release in the next five to six years, according to the report.
