A Classic Reborn

Originally released in 2002, Star Wars: The Clone Wars has been a fan favorite for its immersive gameplay and faithful recreation of the Star Wars universe. This upcoming release brings the game back with a fresh coat of paint, thanks to enhancements like up-rendering, rewind, quick save, and custom video filters.

These updates aim to provide a smoother and more visually appealing experience, while preserving the nostalgic charm of the original.

Relive Iconic Battles

In Star Wars: The Clone Wars, players are thrust into the heat of the galaxy's most unforgettable conflict. You'll lead the Republic army in pivotal battles, stepping into the roles of legendary characters such as Anakin Skywalker, Mace Windu, and Obi-Wan Kenobi. The mission? To prevent the Separatists from reassembling an ancient Sith weapon capable of mass destruction.

The game features sixteen single-player missions spread across six expansive worlds, each filled with the intense action and strategic depth that fans have come to love. You'll pilot various iconic craft, including the Republic gunship, speeder bike, fighter tank, and even an assault walker, battling against over 30 different combat units.

Diverse Multiplayer Modes

One of the standout features of the original game was its multiplayer modes, and this emulated release brings them back in full force. Players can engage in team-based strategy, deathmatch, king-of-the-hill, and co-op endurance modes, providing plenty of ways to enjoy the game with friends.

Emulation Challenges

The game has been converted from the PlayStation 2 version, and while it includes many enhancements, there may be times where it plays differently from the original. Additionally, the game does not support the PlayStation 2 console’s peripherals, so some functionality may not be available.
