As you progress through the story, you'll meet some fascinating and unforgettable characters, and in typical BioWare fashion, discover their deep backstories.

The universe - which is set during a completely different time period, thousands of years before the events of the movies - fleshes out the Universe in ways you'd never expect. Jedi Knight 2: Jedi OutcastīioWare delivers one of the most compelling Star Wars narratives ever with its RPG, Knights of the Old Republic.

It's free-to-play if you're feeling frugal, but subscribing lets you stick solely to main story quests, effectively offering eight epic BioWare stories in one place.Īnd there's a whole new host of fun to be had with the Legacy of the Sith expansion that just dropped. Between the intricate storytelling of the main story (which is entirely unique to each class), abundant side-quests, and getting to know your ever-growing crew, The Old Republic lets you build your own space adventure one encounter at a time. You can take roles like a Jedi Knight struggling to maintain peace and justice, a shady Bounty Hunter looking to cash in on their next big contract, or a dedicated Imperial agent. In SWTOR, you choose what type of hero or villain you want to be.
BioWare jumped headfirst into this intriguing timeline with Star Wars: The Old Republic, giving players a vast, ancient galaxy to explore, unhindered by Star Wars movie canon.

Thousands of years before the Emperor and Darth Vader ruled the galaxy with an iron fist, the Old Republic stood for over a thousand generations.
After a rockier launch than the cliffs of Ahch-To, Battlefront 2 has evolved since it's launch to become of one of the most accessible shooters for Star Wars fans. Galactic Assault too stuns with its enormous 32 player battles. Hurtling through space above Endor is thrilling business, dodging the debris of the ruined Deathstar, and makes for constantly cinematic, if chaotic entertainment. The star of the show this time around is the Starfighter Assault mode that sees you taking the 'attack and defend' mantra from the original Star Wars Battlefront (opens in new tab)'s Walker Assault and firing it into space.

If you're looking to feel like you're actually amidst a battle in a galaxy far, far away there are few better places to turn than Star Wars Battlefront 2.
