Gaming News - April 2004
San Rafael, CA (April 21, 2004) - LucasArts today announced Star Wars
Galaxies: Jump to Lightspeed, the first expansion for Star Wars Galaxies.
Releasing in fall 2004 for the PC, this expansion will provide players with more
than 15 different vehicles for space exploration and combat.
From LucasArts:
Starfighters and other starships will be featured in the expansion that can
be used for both space exploration and combat, allowing players to join up with
allies and fly familiar X-wings and TIE fighters into battle against
faction-aligned opponents and AI-controlled ships. Transport ships similar to
the well-known Millennium Falcon will also be added into the game, allowing
players to venture through space with friends aboard.
Set in the Star Wars timeframe between Episode IV and Episode V, this first
extension to the Star Wars Galaxies foundation opens 10 vast and distinct space
sectors, spanning from the Core Worlds to the Outer Rim, for players to explore
while engaging their opponents in intense real-time combat or uniting with
friends in battle or exploration. Players can embark on more than 100 new
missions, venturing through asteroid fields, nebulae and space junkyards while
honing skills in four new space-specific professions. The game also features two
new and completely customizable species.
Since its launch in June 2003, Star Wars Galaxies has allowed players to live
the Star Wars saga and become immersed in the classic Star Wars universe
simultaneously. Star Wars Galaxies: Jump to Lightspeed continues the full
immersion in the greatest Star Wars saga ever told: Yours.
