Chairman's Letter 2025: All SQ42 Chapters Fully Playable, 40+ Hours Confirmed
Chris Roberts published his annual year-end letter confirming that all Squadron 42 chapters are now "fully playable from beginning to end," with the team regularly running complete internal playthroughs. He described the campaign as over forty hours in length and highlighted seamless transitions — moving from on-foot to spacecraft to planetary surfaces without loading screens — as a defining feature. Roberts reiterated 2026 as the release target, stating the studio is "confident in the direction the game is headed and fully focused on delivering."
