Between racing Microfighters, acquiring and customizing gear and challenging friends to battle in the Hippodrome, players will uncover the mystery of the corruption as it alters simulations of historical moments spanning the entire Star Wars galaxy.
Dive into moments spanning the Star Wars galaxy and explore Jabba’s Palace, the maze of Echo Base on Hoth, the plazas of Mos Eisley and discover how the corruption has altered them.
