Disney and Lucasfilm have announced the development of Star Wars: Uprising, a new mobile game that will take place in the time between Star Wars: Return of the Jedi and Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Developed by Kabam, Star Wars: Uprising "will feature key events set in the Anoat Sector, inclusive of Hoth and Cloud City, and will allow players to create characters, go on missions, build their gear and skills, and organize crews and factions to participate in wide-ranging battles."
In the game, you'll be able to play as a bounty hunter, smuggler, diplomat, or even create an entirely new role. And keeping up with tradition of Star Wars roleplaying games, you'll learn hundreds of new abilities and collect classic gear and equipment conducive to creating your own unique character.
Star Wars: Uprising won't be released until Fall 2015, ahead of the theatrical release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, but you can already pre-register for the game to secure a free storm trooper helmet and other exclusive in-game rewards at launch.
Star Wars: Uprising features include:
Real-time Co-op Against The Empire: Explore the secrets of the sector, build a powerful crew with allies, and play alongside friends in synchronous cooperative play
Deep Customization: Choose from a wide range of special skills, species, visual customizations and classic Star Wars gear to become the next Han Solo, Boba Fett or entirely unique hero of your own design.
Shape The Future Of The Universe: Join players worldwide in massive sector-wide battles to dictate the expansion of in-game content, including new planets, exclusive gear and unique crew members.
