Star Wars Uprising: New Mobile Game Announced

Uprising!

There is breaking news today regarding the release of another new mobile based game within the Star Wars franchise. While we already have examples of more traditional mobile games a la Star Wars Commander and Star Wars Galactic Defense, we have yet to see any significant attempts at a more RPG like game on the mobile platforms... until today.

Star Wars Uprising, currently being planned for a limited beta relase and a fall roll out, is being billed by Developer/Star Wars gaming vet Daniel Erickson Uprising as a Diablo like RPG. The game will even support groups of up to 4 to play simultaneously, much like the fabled Blizzard franchise. Uprising will reportedly allow you to play a variety of classes such as a Bounty Hunter, Smuggler, Guerilla, Diplomat of Gambler... or even something completely unique. But by design, you will not be seeing any Jedi.

As you can see from the trailer, we're looking at a period immediately following the end of Return of the Jedi, so it makes sense that there would be only one lightsaber active in the galaxy at the time. As of yet, I haven't been able to find any information as to the canon ramifications of the game, but I imagine that it'll touch on the story of the universe as a whole, and the characters and stories your character participate in are not... but who knows. What we do know is that you'll be operating mostly in the Anoat Sector, so we'll be seeing familiar locales like Hoth and Bespin.

More news to come when it is available.

Update #1: You can pre-register for the game at the official site and start voting on rewards that all registrants will get!

Oh man this looks sweet!

This is awesome.

Need full PC version rival blizzard lol

Jizz in my pants

Wow. This does look cool hopefully it isn't a micro transaction fiasco.

I read about this today and found myself intrigued. I like the supposed F2P, makes the barrier to entry more accessible to experience the lore on offer.
