LEGO Star Wars Battles, not to be confused with the highly anticipated console gameLEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, is an action strategy mobile game with real-time multiplayer battles.
Players will be able to use classic characters, vehicles, and iconic locations all across the nineStar Warssaga films. Iconic films includeStar Wars: The Clone Wars,andRogue One: A Star Wars Story.There doesn’t seem to be any mention of adding content from Disney+ series likeThe Mandalorian, but it’s not to say that they won’t be added later.
LEGO Star Wars Battleswill allow gamers to mix and match the characters they collect from all generations of films. So it’s entirely possible to build a deck of characters that are on either thelight or dark side. Collect characters like Rey, Boba Fett, or Darth Vader and team them up with Storm Troopers and Battle Droids. For all of those dying to know, yes, Porgs will also be apart of the playable characters as well.
Warner Bros. is promising some premium vehicles to go along with the game’s wide array of characters. Gamers will be able to collect vehicles like AT-ATs, TIE bombers, and even the Millennium Falcon. As the game is more strategy-based, likely the vehicles will be apart of an arsenal as opposed to drivable vehicle.
LEGO Star Wars Battlesis set to be more focused on thestrategy-based gamingthan the hack-and-slash gameplay of the main series. Players will have to dispatch troops and construct battlements in real-time to defend their position while trying to destroy their opponents.
As players advance through the game, new locations will be unlocked. There is no word yet on all of the unlockable levels, but as of now fans will be able to play on Scarif, Naboo, Hoth, Endor, and Geonosis.
LEGO Star Wars Battlewill be available on the Apple App Store and Google Play in 2020.
