There Has Been An Uprising... Mobile Game Coming Before TFA!

It's VERY rare that a mobile game would have an impact on the story-line of a MAJOR film, but in the case of Uprising that may be changing.

From TheGuardian.com:

Kabam's previous releases include The Hobbit: Kingdoms, Lord of the Rings: Legends, Fast and Furious: Legacy and The Hunger Games: Panem Rising. The new Star Wars game is its most high-profile yet.

Star Wars: Uprising is set in between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens, making it an official addition to the Star Wars canon. That is a significant moment for mobile gaming, which until recently has more often been a source of licensing dollars rather than new stories for the franchise.

The massively multiplayer game will let players create their own characters – “become the next Han Solo, Boba Fett or entirely unique hero of your own design” runs its blurb – and exploring familiar environments such as the planet Hoth, as well as new scenes.

Like Kabam’s other games, it is free but funded by in-app purchases of virtual items including tips for the Cantina Band or goods from Kashyyyk (both £3.99) and hazard pay for Stormtroopers (£14.99).

Uprising’s release a few months before the premiere of The Force Awakens is no coincidence: it is a key part of the advance promotion for the new film, with Kabam and Disney well aware that fans will flock to the game looking for more hints on the movie’s plotlines and characters.

Uprising will be the first game to expand on the official Star Wars canon.  I'm sure you've probably played Commander, Angry Birds, or the Topps Collectible Card Game; but this is something different.  Stay tuned to the network for official release dates.
