This is a third-person action-adventure game with an open-world hub, released in 2022. It is available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, PC (Microsoft Windows), Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. The game allows players to experience the entirety of the Skywalker Saga, from Episode I to Episode IX, in any order they choose. Each episode is structured with its own hub world, offering exploration of planets central to the respective films. Across all nine episodes, there are a total of 45 story missions, divided into five missions per episode.

The gameplay mechanics have been updated from previous titles. Combat, particularly lightsaber duels, now incorporates a system of light attacks, heavy attacks, and Force moves, allowing for varied combos. Blaster combat utilizes an over-the-shoulder camera perspective, similar to many third-person shooter games. The open-world hubs are dynamic, featuring random encounters such as Imperial Star Destroyers emerging from hyperspace, initiating TIE Fighter skirmishes that players can choose to engage with or bypass.

What makes this game unique?

Freedom to Explore the Skywalker Saga

A significant departure from previous entries, this game offers players the unprecedented freedom to tackle the nine films of the Skywalker Saga in any sequence they desire. Instead of a linear progression, you can choose to begin with any episode and explore its associated planets and story missions at your own pace. This non-linear approach extends to the game's structure, with each episode featuring its own distinct hub world filled with iconic locations from the films, all ripe for exploration.

Core Gameplay Mechanics

The core gameplay loop revolves around puzzle-solving and adventure, set within a vast, explorable universe. Players will engage in combat, both with lightsabers and blasters, utilizing revamped combat systems designed for more dynamic encounters. Lightsaber combat emphasizes combo execution with a mix of light and heavy attacks, augmented by Force abilities. For ranged combat, the game adopts an over-the-shoulder perspective, enhancing the action-adventure experience.

Beyond the main story missions, the open-world hubs are populated with activities and challenges. Players can expect unexpected events, such as sudden Imperial fleet arrivals, which present opportunities for engaging in space combat or continuing with their chosen objectives. The game boasts a roster of over 200 playable characters, offering a wide variety of iconic figures from across the Star Wars universe.
