Set in the early days of the Star Wars saga, Elite Squadron tells a previously untold story of two brothers, codenamed X1 and X2. Cloned from a Jedi Master, they were raised to become elite commanders central to the Clone Wars, training and leading the armies of the Republic. But with the rise of the Emperor and the execution of Order 66, their paths violently diverged. X2, clinging to the ideals of the Jedi, joined the fledgling Rebel Alliance to restore peace and freedom. X1, however, remained loyal to the new regime, embracing the order and power of the Empire. Now, the brothers are set on a collision course—a conflict that will shape the fate of the galaxy itself.
The game features a rich 12-level single-player campaign that explores this deep conflict between the brothers. Beyond the story, Elite Squadron delivers a robust multiplayer experience faithful to the beloved Battlefront style. Players join large-scale battles where two teams fight for control over key territories across dynamic maps. These maps often blend ground, space, and interior capital ship combat seamlessly, allowing players to transition from dogfighting in an X-Wing to boarding an enemy Star Destroyer—all within the same match.
Players can choose from a variety of classic unit classes, each specialized for different roles—such as pilots, snipers, or heavy weapons experts. These same gameplay mechanics are woven throughout the single-player campaign, creating a cohesive and action-packed experience from beginning to end.
Whether you’re drawn by the emotional story of two brothers divided by war or the intense, large-scale multiplayer battles, Elite Squadron offers a compelling entry into the expanded universe of Star Wars.
