Star Wars: Squadrons - 10 Reasons To Be Excited

Perhaps one of the most fleshed out franchises due to the Expanded Universe, Star Wars lends itself brilliantly to Virtual Reality. Star Wars has made a few steps into the world of VR with some DLC for 2015’s Star Wars: Battlefront as well as the Vader Immortal series.

Squadrons took influence from these titles in order to build an immersive cockpit experience, putting the players in the cockpit of one of the many different ships. This will lend to tactical advantages in either ships due to the different layouts of Republic and Imperial starfighters. For example, X-Wing fighters have an open cockpit view, whereas the TIE fighters have a single porthole to view through.

The differences in ships makes the combat all the more intriguing, specifically when it comes to using VR in multiplayer against players who are not in VR. This could put players in the heart of the battle and be one of the most immersive VR experiences yet.
