San Francisco – June 4, 2015 – Kabam, in collaboration with The Walt Disney Company and Lucasfilm Ltd., today announced the development of Star Wars tm : Uprising, the first mobile game to take place after Star Wars™: Episode VI Return of the Jeditm and before Star Wars™: The Force Awakenstm. Developed by the industry-leading team at Kabam RPG Studio in San Francisco under the direction of Senior Vice President Aaron Loeb, Star Wars tm: Uprising will allow players to create their own unique character, go on missions, and build their gear and skills, while amassing a powerful crew and cartel to join in large-scale sector-wide battles that dictate the future of the game universe.

Star Wars: Uprising will introduce a new chapter of the Star Wars™ universe that will illuminate dramatic events in the Anoat Sector, inclusive of Hoth and Cloud City, following the Battle of Endor and the death of the Emperor.

Looks like Disney is actually trying with the new Star Wars: Uprising mobile game
Canon story to reveal post-Return of the Jedi details.

Disney, Lucasfilm and mobile developer Kabam have announced Star Wars: Uprising, a new free-to-play mobile game set after the events of the original film trilogy.

But despite being a mobile game, there are several promising elements about Uprising that may not make it all bad.

For starters, the game is set within the Star Wars universe's new canon - which supersedes all of the previous Expanded Universe stories.

Uprising is set in the remote Anoat Sector, home to familiar locations such as Hoth and Bespin's Cloud City. It reveals the story of what happened next after the Battle of Endor and the death of Emperor Palpatine.

This region of space is controlled by an Imperial governor who is censoring news of the organisation's demise and who still rules with an iron fist.

Kabam exec Aaron Loeb describes Uprising as a dungeon crawler, with game levels to trawl for gear and enemies to defeat via gesture-based combat (thanks, Wired).

You play as your own created character, then team up with others in larger-scale skirmishes to unlock story content for all players.

Better yet, despite being free-to-play, Star Wars: Uprising does not use any kind of stamina system - meaning there is no need to pay to continue playing.

In fact, Kabam has promised there will be no paywalls of any kind and no pay-to-win mechanics.

"Kabam RPG is dedicated to doing what we call 'white hat free-to-play'," explained Daniel Erickson, former creative director of Star Wars: The Old Republic at BioWare (thanks,Venturebeat).

"We still have a system where you can go to the supply guy and get random rolls for loot and gear. But all that loot and gear also drops out in the world."

The reappearance of Bespin suggests Uprising could feature the first new canon appearance for Lando Calrissian, post-Return of the Jedi. But Erickson refused to confirm or deny his appearance.

"You will definitely see particular people make appearances," he teased. "[But] they are not the stars of this thing. The most controlled storylines are obviously what's going to happen to that small handful of people. We know what's going to happen to them, so we can include some of that stuff, but we are not trying to tell that story."

There's no firm release date yet for Star Wars: Uprising other than a vague "autumn" window, although beta testing begins soon in select countries.

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-09-10-mobile-rpg-star-wars-uprising-out-now

Mobile RPG Star Wars: Uprising is out today on the App Store and Google Play. The title, from Kabam, helps to bridge the narrative gap between the end of Return of the Jedi and the events of new movie, The Force Awakens.

The game is set in the Anoat Sector, a new location in the Star Wars universe, where you'll work with bounty hunters, smugglers and rebels to help crush the Empire following the destruction of the second Death Star and the demise of Emperor Palpatine. You'll also visit Hoth and Cloud City, as you battle against an "ominous new adversary". Probably a really angry ewok.

The Uprising development team includes Daniel Erickson, former creative director of Star Wars: The Old Republic and Danny Keller, Emmy award nominee for Star Wars: The Clone Wars. You'll get to create your own character from a variety of alien races, and we're promised "sector-wide" battles the outcome of which will determine the direction of the game in the future. You can also team up with others for real-time co-op play.

Star Wars: Uprising is free to download, but you can buy in-game items. There's "Tips for the Cantina Band" for £3.99, or "Stormtrooper's Hazard Pay" for £14.99. We'll report back if those cutesy names mask any venal price gouging.

Well for a mobile game it seems like it'll be decent, but mobile games in general tend to be time gated and 'fluffy', so I think I'll pass.
