The new mobile game Star Wars: Uprising, alongside books & comics such as Aftermath and Shattered Empire, are giving us our first looks at the state of the Galaxy immediately following Return Of The Jedi. Uprising, which is set within the Anoat sector which has been blockaded by Imperials desperate to maintain control, was just released earlier this week. Soon after Kabam, the developer behind the role playing gaming, released a brand new, almost two minute long launch trailer for the game, featuring all new gameplay and cinematic footage. You can watch it below:
You can download Star Wars: Uprising now in the Android and IOS app stores now! And stay tuned for info on the SWU cartel coming soon.
The story of what takes place between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens continues to be told this week, as Lucasfilm has announced that Star Wars: Uprising will hit shelves on September 10th (tomorrow!) The mobile game tells the story of the Anoat Sector, where the Imperial governor is denying that Palpatine and Vader are dead and that the second Death Star has been destroyed. The game will be available on iOS and Android devices.
Uprising is the third release in the last seven days by Lucasfilm that is set between Episodes VI and VII. The first was the novel Star Wars: Aftermath by Chuck Wendig on "Force Friday," and the second was Star Wars: Shattered Empire #1, the first issue in a new comic book series from Marvel comics released today. Check out the trailer for Uprising below,
While Star Wars: Battlefront has been capturing the headlines lately, there is another Star Wars video game in development that has a lot of fans buzzing. Star Wars: Uprising is a mobile game that was announced a few weeks back that is set immediately after Return of the Jedi and begins to fill in the gap between Jedi and The Force Awakens. The game is slated for a release in September and Lucasfilm has just given fans a first look at the gameplay in Uprising. Check it out below,
I'll be honest and say that I'm looking forward to this game more than I am Battlefront (yes, I know I'm in the minority on that). While this doesn't have the flash or the style of Battlefront, the story implications intrigue me and I'm excited to get to know the state of the galaxy in the time between Episodes VI and VII. The game is set in the Anoat sector, where the Moff is denying the destruction of the Death Star and death of the Emperor. Players will go up against this Moff as a variety of classes. I look forward to seeing how the storylines play out and how this could affect our view of the post-Jedi galaxy.
By: Lillian Skye Kabam, the interactive entertainment company that produced Marvel Contest of Champioins, in collaboration with Disney and Lucasfilm Ltd., announced Thursday that they are developing the first mobile game to take place between the Star Wars Original Trilogy and The Force Awakens--Star Wars: Uprising. Star Wars: Uprising is a role playing game which will "immerse players in the Star Wars universe
during a unique time following the fall of Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine,” said the Senior Vie President of Kabam RPG Studio Aaron Loeb. “The Kabam RPG Studio has taken its collective experience and passion for role playing games to focus on creating a unique and immersive gameplay experience for Star Wars fans and RPG gamers around the world.”
The galaxy is no longer under the tyrannical rule of Vader and Palpatine, and the second Death Star has been destroyed, but the Empire remains a powerful force in the Star Wars Galaxy. In Uprising, players will have the chance to challenge that force. The game will fill in events that led up to the state of the galaxy in The Force Awakens, which will hit theaters in December.
In Star Wars: Uprising, players will have the opportunity to create their own characters, acquire and build gear, and create their own crew to join a "sector-wide battle that [will] dictate the future of the game universe." Players will be able to play in real-time with friends, and team up with them to take down the Empire.
Characters in the game feature Riley, a female orphan
with a cybernetic leg brace, Deathstick, the most "legendary assassin in
the sector," and Commander Bragh, a man who is faithful to the Empire
and the leader of the Purge Troopers. Players will have the chance to explore familiar locations like Cloud City and Hoth, while venturing unfamiliar territory on the mining planet of Burnin Konn.
Players have the ability to be a Smuggler, Bounty Hunter, Rebel Guerilla, Diplomat, Gambler or something "completely unique." The game has "deep customization," and engages the fanbase. Players can pre-register online to help "shape the future of the game," even before its launch by voting on characters they'd like to see appear in the game on the Star Wars: Uprising official website. By voting, players have the chance to win exclusive in-game rewards which will be gifted to all pre-registrants. Upcoming content to vote on includes choosing between an E-11 Blaster Rifle or a DL-44 Heavey Blaster Pistol.
Check out the trailer below:
Stay tuned for the latest updates from Star Wars: Uprising. Beta testing will be launched in the upcoming weeks.
