Yesterday the devs over at Bioware Austine announced that Patch 5.10.2, named Heralds of Victory will be landing in April and feature guild heraldry and preview window changes. When Game Update 5.10 ‘Jedi Under Siege’ launched, guilds received a boost in the form of new guild leveling and PvP challenge systems, as well as new management tools. Seeing guilds flourish from this, with Game Update 5.10.2 ‘Heralds of Victory’, we are planning to add even more for guilds! This new feature is called Guild Heraldry and it will be another tool for guilds to rally behind! Each guild can create their own emblem to represent them throughout the game. Between the combination of icons, background details, and variety of colors, guilds will be able to create something truly unique. A guild’s emblem will be displayed in the general guild window, on the conquest planetary leaderboards, and many other places! On…
Star Wars Games: Top 5 Honourable Mentions
Star Wars games are like a fine wine – they only age better with time. But to be fair, the saga had its ups and downs throughout almost three decades of existence on the gaming market. Back in the mid-1990s and ‘00s, there have been more than two dozen Star Wars universe-themed games released explicitly for PC, and frankly, not every release fulfilled the developer expectations. Just like the movies, some games are remembered much more fondly than others. There’s even this common saying about the whole deal – for every beloved Star Wars game, there’s half-dozen of the ‘ehh’ ones. But today is not about the dark side of the Star Wars games industry. Today’s all about those all-time classics, amongst which, there’s even a game that, by some fans, is considered as being better than the entire film saga! Is the force still strong with such a bold…
Star Wars: Battelfront 2 — Infiltrator Reinforcements
Dice just posted a new Community Transmission about two brand-new reinforcements coming with the new game mode. On the Republic side you’ll now be able to play as an Advanced Recon Commando, better known as an ARC Trooper, and on the Separatist side, you’ll be able to play as a BX-series Droid Commando. Both units will be part of the new Infiltrator Reinforcement class and will also have their own new Star Cards for their abilities! Check it out: Infiltrator Reinforcements: ARC Trooper ARC Trooper dodge roll, WIP The ARC Trooper is a gung-ho attacker that rushes into battle wielding his trusty DC-17 pistols. Yes, you read that correctly: pistols. This unit can dual wield pistols and fire them independently, effectively doubling his rate of fire. With short-ranged blasters, this trooper needs something more versatile for more distant foes. To extend his reach, the ARC trooper’s Power Blast ability overcharges his primary pistol to fire a…
3 Tips to Improve Your Chances of Winning on the DraftKings Sportsbook App

Welcome to the Monthly News Roundup series! This post, usually posted at the end of every month or the start of a month, aims to sum up the latest updates and changes to the relevant Star Wars games.

One of the most intriguing teasers from the studios is the confirmation by director Rian Johnson that the new planet to be featured in the Star Wars universe will be known as Canto Bight. Rolling the Dice After months of speculation and tentative suspicions after the name began floating about while the film was shooting on location in Croatia, fans are excited at the prospect of Canto Bight, which promises to be an interesting stage for the on-screen action, even by the astronomically high Star Wars standards. Fans noted that the name sounded suspiciously close to “casino bright”, and the director was gracious…

Star Wars Slot Machines
Generally, science-fiction has always been a thing for many years. However, it was not until Star Wars was released that it blew up in popularity. Nobody would have anticipated the cultural influence it will have back upon its first release. Now, it has gained an army of fans that are very loyal throughout the world. Bearing in mind that the name Star Wars is associated with a billion-dollar movie franchise, it’s no surprise to see a lot of knock-off products appear on the scene. One of the knock-off products appears to be a new online slot game by 777IGT called Star Wars. With what it has to offer, Star Wars definitely does not stick to the film franchise since it throws several peculiar features into the mix. Weird at Times It should be known that this game is not a licensed Star Wars product, by no means. This likely…

Star Wars PlayStation Evolution (1995-2017)
You know how I love talking about the evolution of Star Wars games here. There have been so many games to come out since 1982 with Star Wars themes.

We have had Star Wars themed games for the PlayStation since 1995. In this video from PSNext, we can see the full evolution of Star Wars games for the this platform – from those early days in 1995 (when I was just a girl) to as recently as 2017.

Is BioWare on a Steady Decline?
BioWare has a long history in gaming as we know it today. They carry claims to fame like Mass Effect and Knights of the Old Republic. They have been a staple in the gaming community for a very long time. Some of your favorite titles have probably been from BioWare (I know mine have), but will this last? Can we count on BioWare to keep giving us blockbusters that change our lives and melt our hearts? Can we keep expecting fabulous, monumental, memorable games? Or are there days numbered? However, in the past ten years, there have been some big changes for BioWare – the same as there has been in the gaming industry in general. Now we have a new release – Anthem – and for many, it is definitely a disappointment. Kat Bailey, from US Gamer has a few theories on why this happened, and how it’s been…
The Top 5 Sci-Fi Slot Machine Games You Need to Play
Every true sci-fi geek is a gamer at heart. The two simply go hand-in-hand, a match made in heaven just like Princess Leia and Han Solo. However, the downside of being a dedicated gamer is that the wait between console releases can be agonizingly long. The last Star Wars: Battlefront game came out back in 2017 and we currently have no sign of when the next one will be here. Fortunately, sci-fi geeks of all stripes can turn to slot machines to get the geeky gamer fix. There are countless officially licensed and standalone slot titles which provide hours of pretty riveting gameplay. Here are the best ones available right now that you need to be playing. Star Wars Official Slots Unfortunately, you’ll have to make your way to Vegas or another land-based casino to experience this one, as officially-licensed versions are hard to come by online. Following the transfer of the Star…
ODYSSEY: A Star Wars Story – Fan Film
Odyssey has been a project in the works for over two years! It was a labor of love, talent, and hard work for sure. They have done a truly amazing job with this one. Honestly, it’s so above caliber that I almost don’t want to call it a “fan film” (and you guys know how much I love my fan films). Ever wondered what it would be like to see stormtroopers in a film like Saving Private Ryan? Well, this fan film is as close as you can get. This film is set in the Star Wars universe and it’s all about a war, and follows the life of a young rebel named Quinn on his first mission with the Odyssey Squadron. It has dramatic and uplifting music, great costumes (Rebel and Imperial uniforms that look professionally-made), great stories, and realistic acting. It ticks all the boxes for a really…

Star Wars: Battlefront 2 – Chosen One patch notes
Here are the full patchnotes for yesterdays game update for Star Wars: Battelfront. There are big changes coming to the Clone Trooper legions with each Trooper Class now getting their own look, relevant to the legion that they are a part of. This also sees the first time that Officers will be able to equip Clone Trooper armour. Additionally, there’s been a lot of discussion around stuns and their effect on the flow of gameplay. With stuns now having a lower duration and a short immunity once you have been stunned, we’re looking forward to seeing how these changes improve the experience. ANAKIN SKYWALKER Anakin’s power and skill were virtually unmatched, though his overconfidence and anger could get the better of him. Even still, when innocent people were in danger, he would never hesitate to put his life on the line to save them. When his friends needed his help,…
