As announced a few days ago, Electronic Arts has released an original standalone CG short from Star Wars: Squadrons titled “Hunted” that reveals one of the pilots gamers will head into combat alongside during their adventure. During the short we are introduced to Imperial pilot Varko Grey after the destruction of the second Death Star as he faces off with a Rebel X-wing pilot in a battle to the death. The dogfight comes to a end on the canyon-filled surface of a new planet named Var-Shaa.
Check out the video embedded below and then head on over to StarWars.com for words from ILM’s John Knoll, Lucasfilm’s James Waugh, and EA’s Neel Upadhye on the creation of this short.
Star Wars: Squadrons will be released on October 2 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One (crossplay across all platforms is supported) and offers several pre-order bonuses. For more information and to pre-order your copy, visit the game’s official website.
The game will be playable on the new PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X consoles.
