Update (Fri 12th Jun, 2020 19:05 BST): EA has confirmed that it'll be revealing a trailer for Star Wars: Squadrons next week on Monday, June 15 at 8AM PT (4PM BST) on YouTube.
Original story (Fri 12th Jun, 2020 17:30 BST): Star Wars: Squadrons has been revealed via a leak on the official Xbox website. According to VentureBeat's Jeff Grubb, this is the game that was originally referred to as "Project: Maverick".
The only official bit of information we know about Star Wars: Squadrons so far is a single tagline - "pilots wanted" - along with a link to pre-order the game which doesn't go anywhere.
According to Grubb, sources familiar with its production have said it's an "aerial/space combat game about piloting ships in head-to-head battles," and will be multiplayer focused but include a single-player campaign as well. It's reportedly set to come to consoles later this year, but nothing has been confirmed as of yet.

A follow up to Rogue Squadron would be very much welcome...
I hope this is decent and not an online multiplayer focussed title.
@pip_muzz The rumour is that it's a multiplayer focused game, but with a single-player campaign as well. I've added this into the article now.
@FraserG So long as it's not a throwaway campaign I'm still interested. Thanks for the info
Unfortunately, this is very “meh” for me.
Just give us a new KOTOR already!!!
I really like Rogue Squadron, but if this is mostly multiplayer I'll pass. I really hope the campaign isn't an afterthought.
Sounds very cool, I'm looking forward to this. As much as I like the Battlefront games, it's about time EA does something else with Star Wars with this and Fallen Order.
I loved the X-Wing, series on PC. I'd really like to see a similar idea here: multiplayer squadron missions. I would happily go up against AI teams. If it is just space combat against real players, it could fall into the trap of X-Wing vs TIE Fighter where all pvp combat basically boiled down to who could fly in the tightest circle.
@TrueAssassin86x Yeah, that's a bummer...
