Disney and Lucasfilm announce competitive action shooter Star Wars: Rivals

January 14, 2018 by Gary Collinson

Disney and Lucasfilm have announced that they are bringing some of the galaxy far, far away’s biggest rivalries to mobile devices with the competitive action shooter Star Wars: Rivals. Check out a selection of screenshots below, along with the official game details…

COMPETE IN PVP ARENAS
Dominate your opponents in this fast-paced PvP shooter as you challenge players cross-platform in real-time combat arenas. Avoid taking damage by strategically utilizing your surroundings, targeting and destroying your enemies with mobile-optimized controls. Swap your heroes in-and-out during the heat of battle, instantly altering how the game is played.

BUILD THE ULTIMATE COMBAT TEAM
Collect Heroes to assemble the ultimate team and unlock increasingly rare and powerful Heroes as you advance through Arena Leagues. Choose from a cast of legendary Heroes including Princess Leia, Poe Dameron and Lando Calrissian – each with different roles that you mix and match to gain a tactical advantage.

CONFRONT YOUR RIVALS
Face-off against iconic rivals from the films and defeat them in combat to gain valuable Battle Points and change the tides of the battle, e.g., Han Solo vs Boba Fett and Jynn Erso vs Director Krennic.

MASTER ICONIC WEAPONS AND SPECIAL ABILITIES
Rule the playing field with powerful weapons like Chewbacca’s bowcaster, Han Solo’s DL-44 blaster pistol, and Boba Fett’s EE-3 carbine rifle. Master special abilities unique to the Star Wars universe like Darth Vader’s Force choke and Admiral Ackbar’s devastating Orbital Strike.

UTILIZE FACTION BONUSES
Form teams of the same faction like the Rebellion, the Empire, the First Order and the underworld to gain faction bonuses for increased damage, health regeneration and more.

BATTLE IN FAMILIAR STAR WARS LOCATIONS
Use cover, elevation and destructible environments to your advantage as you take down rivals in PvP arenas across familiar environments that span multiple Star Wars eras including Bespin, Scarif, Jakku, and the Death Star.

ENLIST IN A GUILD
Stategize with guildmates to climb the Arena leaderboards and claim valuable Credits, Data Tapes, and Reward Crates to unlock featured heroes and level up characters in your roster.
