the Galactic Republic or Sith Empire and choose one of eight
iconic Star Wars characters: Jedi Knight, Jedi Consular,
Smuggler, Trooper, Bounty Hunter, Imperial Agent, Sith Inquisitor and
Sith Warrior. Every player’s story will unfold based on meaningful
choices made throughout the game, enabling them to become the hero of
their own personal Star Wars saga. Along their journey,
players will encounter companion characters with whom they can build
and break meaningful relationships as they fight by their side.
Players will explore a vibrant galaxy, engage in heroic battles, and
experience visceral Star Warscombat.
