Chris Roberts de Star Citizen apunta al lanzamiento de Squadron 42 en 2026 como rival de GTA 6

Autor : Lucy Actualizar : Nov 26,2025

El desarrollador principal de Star Citizen, Chris Roberts, ha hecho una declaración impactante sobre el próximo juego independiente para un jugador, Squadron 42, comparando su impacto anticipado con el del próximo lanzamiento de Grand Theft Auto 6.

La ambiciosa simulación espacial de Cloud Imperium Games sigue siendo uno de los proyectos más debatidos en la historia de los videojuegos. Desde que comenzó su campaña de financiamiento colectivo hace casi 13 años, Star Citizen ha enfrentado reacciones variadas—algunos escépticos incluso lo han etiquetado como una estafa potencial, cuestionando si alguna vez se materializará un lanzamiento completo. Las naves espaciales virtuales del juego, con algunos modelos con precios de cientos de dólares, atraen frecuentemente una atención crítica.

Hasta la fecha, Star Citizen ha acumulado la asombrosa cantidad de 859 millones de dólares en fondos, según lo revelado por CIG en su sitio web oficial, donde la compañía comparte de manera transparente las cifras de ingresos bajo la categoría "fondos recaudados".

En marzo del año pasado, Cloud Imperium Games indicó que el lanzamiento de la versión 1.0 de Star Citizen se acercaba, aunque una fecha de lanzamiento definitiva aún no se ha anunciado. Roberts ha aclarado que la versión 1.0 representará el "lanzamiento comercial", completo con las características y contenido previstos.

Squadron 42 está actualmente programado para debutar en 2026. Si se lanza según lo planeado, llegará unos notables 14 años después de la iniciativa inicial de financiamiento colectivo de Star Citizen.

Roberts, famoso por la franquicia Wing Commander, estima que Squadron 42 proporcionará entre 30 y 40 horas de juego. Una vista previa de 2024 presentó extensas secuencias cinemáticas, combinando cameos CGI de actores de Hollywood como Gillian Anderson, Henry Cavill, Gary Oldman y Mark Strong con combates de torretas guionados dentro de una épica batalla espacial. La demostración concluyó con un encuentro de disparos en primera persona después de que fuerzas alienígenas abordaran la nave del jugador.

Un reporte reciente en francés por La Presse—destacando Cloud Imperium Games Montreal, la entidad renombrada anteriormente conocida como Turbulent—citó a Roberts comparando la importancia del lanzamiento de Squadron 42 con la de GTA 6.

El reporte sugiere que Squadron 42 se lanzará durante un período en 2026 en el que no será eclipsado por GTA 6. Roberts añadió: "Nuestro objetivo es que sea casi tan trascendental. Aparte de GTA 6, bien podría ser el título AAA más caro".

En el mismo artículo, Roberts supuestamente confirmó que Star Citizen ha generado poco más de mil millones de dólares en contribuciones de los jugadores.

Es importante señalar que Squadron 42 hasta ahora solo ha sido anunciado para PC—una plataforma que se espera que GTA 6 omita en su lanzamiento del 26 de mayo de 2026 en PlayStation 5 y Xbox Series X/S. Aún así, la audaz comparación de Roberts ha generado un escepticismo generalizado en línea, con muchos declarando la idea implausible. Los analistas de la industria proyectan que GTA 6 batirá récords como el lanzamiento de entretenimiento más grande de la historia, superando todos los videojuegos y películas anteriores en ganancias durante sus primeras 24 horas.

Sin embargo, La Presse sí enfatizó que Star Citizen atrae consistentemente a más de un millón de jugadores recurrentes mensuales, con al menos 25 millones de personas que han probado el juego al menos una vez. Esta audiencia existente le proporciona a Squadron 42 una base sólida para su lanzamiento.

En cuanto al propio Star Citizen, el reporte indica que se espera que la versión completa llegue en algún momento entre 2027 y 2028—o, como describió Roberts, dentro de uno a dos años después de la llegada de Squadron 42.

Shadow of the Monkey King: PS5 Patch Delivers Major Performance Boost, But 93GB Download Warning Sends Players Scrambling The highly anticipated Shadow of the Monkey King — officially titled Wukong — has just dropped a major performance patch for PlayStation 5, promising smoother frame rates, enhanced ray-tracing, and improved load times. However, fans are reacting with a mix of excitement and frustration after discovering the patch’s staggering 93GB download size. What’s New in the Patch? According to the official patch notes released by Game Science, the update brings several key improvements: Stable 60fps at 4K Resolution: The game now maintains a consistent 60 frames per second in most gameplay scenarios, a significant upgrade from the variable performance in the initial launch. Ray-Traced Lighting & Reflections: Enhanced visual fidelity with more realistic lighting and environmental reflections, especially in the game’s lush, mythological landscapes. Faster Load Times: Level transitions and open-world travel have been optimized, reducing loading times by up to 40%. Bug Fixes & Stability: Numerous crash fixes and AI behavior adjustments have been implemented based on player feedback. The team has also added a new "Performance Mode" that prioritizes frame rate over resolution, ideal for players who value smooth gameplay over ultra-high graphics. The 93GB Download: A Double-Edged Sword While the improvements are undeniable, the 93GB patch has sparked controversy. For context, the base game was already around 80GB — meaning the patch adds nearly 120% more data. Players on limited storage devices, particularly those with older PS5 models (1TB or 2TB), are alarmed. Many have reported that the patch not only eats up valuable space but may force them to delete other games to make room. Sony has since confirmed that the patch is required to access certain new features, including the expanded "Spirit Realm" side quests and new difficulty modes. Community Reaction “My PS5 only has 2TB, and I’ve already got 100+ games. I don’t even have the storage to test the patch!” – @GamerFromShangriLa “The visuals are gorgeous, but 93GB? That’s more than some whole console games.” – @PixelPanda99 “I’ll take the performance gains… but maybe next time, send a patch that doesn’t require a hard drive upgrade.” – @WukongWarrior Some players are turning to external SSDs, while others are demanding better compression or incremental updates in future patches. What’s Next? Game Science has acknowledged the backlash and said they’re exploring ways to optimize future updates with delta patches. They’ve also hinted at a potential "lightweight" version of the game for lower-end systems. For now, if you’re a fan of Wukong, the patch is worth the download — just make sure you’ve got the space, patience, and a good internet connection. Pro Tip: Use a high-speed external SSD and schedule the download overnight to avoid disrupting gameplay. Shadow of the Monkey King continues to impress with its unique blend of Chinese mythology, fluid combat, and breathtaking art direction. Just don’t forget to double-check your storage before hitting "download." 🐒💥 Lectura
