Star Wars: Uprising Is Probably Not the Star Wars Game You're Looking For
Marvel: Contest of Champions developer Kabam has announced Star Wars: Uprising, a mobile game set in between Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi and Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Star Wars: Uprising is pitched as an RPG that allows players to create a unique character and embark on missions to develop skill while collecting gear.
Although the studio has released a teaser for the game, there is no actual gameplay in the video. It is currently unclear what the gameplay entails, though a very small screenshot on the game's website seemingly suggests it will be a Diablo-esque action game.
Players will also be able to gather a crew and cartel to partake in "large-scale sector-wide battles that dictate the future of the game universe." Real-time co-op will also be available.
"Star Wars: Uprising will introduce a new chapter of the Star Wars universe that will illuminate dramatic events in the Anoat Sector, inclusive of Hoth and Cloud City, following the Battle of Endor and the death of the Emperor," its developer explains.
Among the available playable classes are Smuggler, Bounty Hunter, Rebel Guerilla, Diplomat, and Gambler. The game's official website is accepting pre-registrations for access.
Kabam is a prolific mobile development studio and has worked on tie-in games for a number of large properties including The Hobbit, Fast & Furious, and The Godfather.
In more concrete Star Wars game news, EA is expected to show off Star Wars: Battlefront at E3 on June 15.
The Star Wars: Battlefront release date has been confirmed as November 17 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.
Those who preorder will receive access to the free Battle of Jakku expansion on December 1, while everyone else will get to play it on December 7. This content is themed around upcoming movie Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens.
