Star Wars: Uprising Launches Sept. 10th on Mobile

     As we inch closer to the release of Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens, we are sure to be seeing plenty more goodies, and the mobile game Star Wars: Uprising in particular is looking really good.  This will also be the second official piece of official new SW canon since last week's novel release Star Wars: Aftermath- following events in the post Return of the Jedi universe.  Both works will serve as bridges to the upcoming film.

In the days following the Battle of Endor and the fall of the Emperor, The Anoat sector has been locked down by the Empire. With the Rebel Alliance on the other side of the Iron Blockade, it falls to the sector’s smugglers, freedom fighters, bounty hunters and gangsters to join forces and form an uprising.

The Galaxy needs a new hero. What kind will you be?

Decide and become a part of Star Wars history.

     Star Wars: Uprising is a free to play MMO action-RPG and appears to have a sort of Star Wars Underworld vibe from the Expanded Universe that was recently culled from the SW canon.  Players will work in a co-op dungeon crawler style game to fight through hordes of the Empire's cronies and attempt to break through the Imperial quarantine.  It sounds like a slow, but fun, grind of defeating enemies, collecting items, and upgrading skills in an effort to crush the Empire's hold on The Anoat sector.

     IAP's will be included in the game and Uprising's director Daniel Erickson says the monetization will be against "time and competition" as opposed to being simple paywalls.

     [ Star Wars: Uprising ]  The game will be available this Thurs, Sept. 10th.
