Much to the disappointment of some fans, “Star Wars: Attack Squadrons” has been cancelled. The game was announced in December 2013 and was expected to be a free game. Although some fans are not happy about the news, others were expecting the cancellation and are even excited about the possibility of new games from the franchise.

"Star Wars: Attack Squadrons" did not survive the beta test. In a statement made on the official Web site, it was announced the game has been cancelled after "much consideration." The producers thank the fans for their support.

Some of the fans were expecting this news, as some of those who were able to participate in the beta were not happy with the graphics of the game. Nevertheless, not everyone was happy to see the project cancelled.

"Star Wars: Attack Squadrons" joins a list of games cancelled by the producers from the popular franchise. Earlier, the highly anticipated game "Star Wars: 1313" was also cancelled.

Some fans are unhappy about not getting a chance to try the beta test of the game. There was some problem with the beta test for some fans, too, like issues with the log in. The producers of "Attack Squadrons" have said they will be focusing on other "Star Wars" games.

Many fans were looking forward to a new and promising X-Wing and Tie Fighter game. The cancellation of "Attack Squadrons" has made fans look for a decent space combat game elsewhere.

Two of the most popular upcoming space combat games include "Star Citizen" and "Elite: Dangerous." Both games allow players to take control of a spaceship in a galaxy of traders and pirates.

Some fans believe the dull graphics in "Attack Squadrons" and possible competition from other space combat games may have prompted the producers to abandon the game. Some fans are happy the producers took a decisive step instead of keeping them in suspense.

Fans are excited about what new project the producers will be focusing on. A number of fans are hoping the producers consider reviving the "1313" game or "Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic" series. The cancellation of "Star Wars: Attack Squadrons" has opened up many possibilities.
