Galactic Command: Echo Squad will be released as a set of four downloadable episodes. Episode 1: Rise of the Insurgents will kick of the episode releases in spring. Subsequent episodes will be released on a monthly basis, with the four part collection making up a campaign totaling sixteen missions.

The title offers support for up to sixteen players per mission over a multiplayer client-server, and GameTap subscribers will be able to choose from a variety of modes, including death match, team death match and multiplayer cooperative modes, when playing other GameTap subscribers online.
