Players will engage in various activities, including:
- Building and managing their base
- Gathering intelligence through espionage
- Embarking on tactical missions
Moreover, operators recruited by players will feature extensive customization options, from species and classes to loadouts and archetypes such as Clone Troopers, Jedi, and astromechs.
A Passion for Tactical Gameplay
Douglas Reilly, General Manager and Vice President of Lucasfilm Games, expressed enthusiasm about the project: “As avid fans of tactical gameplay, we have long envisioned a game like this.
