Lucasfilm’s legacy in gaming stretches back decades. And with Lucasfilm and the galaxy far, far away entering a new and unprecedented phase of creativity, so will the world of Lucasfilm Games — developed in collaboration with the finest studios across the industry.
Galaxy of Heroes is a mobile RPG. It’s a typical gacha game, although being set in the Star Wars Universe with characters from every era in one place does make for some cool battles. It’s also free to play!
Star Wars The Old Republic is actually pretty old, but with a dedicated player base, it has stood the test of time. Knights of the Eternal Throne is the newest expansion further proving that point. If you enjoy story-driven MMO RPGs this game might be worth checking out, plus it’s free to play!
The Sims 4 also got a Star Wars-themed expansion. With new areas, interactions, and events, now you can live out some of your star wars dreams vicariously through the Sims.
Star Wars Battlefront 2 had a rocky start, but it stabilized after a heavy overhaul removing loot crates and adding standardized progression. The gameplay itself is solid, so it’s definitely worth giving a second chance if you played it on launch and didn’t like it.
Jedi Fallen Order might be one of the better single-player Star Wars RPGs. Taking place right after episode 3 it’s during a dark time in the timeline, where Jedi are being hunted by inquisitors, and even survival is a test on its own.
There is also Squadrons a newer game where you play as republic pilots and play infighter pilot dog fights using ships like the x-wings in the original trilogy.
Finally, Lego Star Wars Skywalker Saga focuses on the newest trilogy of films and adds them to the Lego Star Wars lineup. These are also pretty fun to play with, especially if you have a young sibling or child you can enjoy them with together.
With the announcement, the social media pages have also been updated. Be sure to check out their Facebook and Twitter regularly to stay u to date on future plans.
