Not to embrace my inner Palpatine and deal in absolutes, but Star Wars Squadrons (PC, XO) going for $2.99 is an absolutely sith hot deal. First of all, it's just a great game. Second of all, it has cross-platform multi, which means you're much more likely to find like-minded pilots to explode. And lastly, (on the platforms that support it) it provides some of the best wish fulfilment VR action one can buy—for two dollars, ninety-nine.
In retro news, I'm marking the legs 11th birthday of 2013's Mortal Kombat with a big asterisk on the celebrations. You see, while it sounds crazy to say it now, the original release of this title was refused classification in our country because we didn't yet have a R18+ rating for video games. After many years of protests by gamers, local critics, and the odd sympathetic politician, we earned said rating and the reclassification of this MK in a flawless victory. Good thing, too, we would have missed out on playing as Kratos and Freddy Krueger, two of NetherRealm's finest guest characters.

EA might have canceled a Mandalorian shooter in development at Respawn Entertainment, but one YouTuber has created the next-best thing via Bethesda’s Starfield and over Star Wars 100 mods.
A Total War game based on Star Wars is reportedly in development. Creative Assembly is said to be working on the Star Wars game alongside two other Total War titles, although it's not said which one of these will launch first.
Strategy game specialist Creative Assembly is reportedly working on a Total War Star Wars video game.
The Division Heartland, the now-canceled free-to-play take on the looter shooter series, was originally set to be a battle royale mode.
In a new interview with GameInformer, Star Wars Outlaws senior narrative systems designer Alice Rendell and lead systems designer Matthieu Delisle talk about the types of encounters that players will find in their time with the game. The two talk about, among other things, the reputation system in Star Wars Outlaws, which will have a big impact on your encounters in the game. Check out the interview below.
The developers behind the upcoming Star Wars Outlaws just shared some insight into how the game’s Reputation system will shape Kay’s adventure across the Outer Rim. Almost two years after Ubisoft and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora studio Massive Entertainment announced that it was working on an open-world Star Wars game, they officially revealed Star Wars Outlaws during last summer’s Xbox Games Showcase. This crime caper will be set between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, and will put players in the role of an aspiring scoundrel trying to pull off the biggest heist in the history of the Star Wars criminal underworld.
Universal’s The Fall Guy stumbled out of the gates, earning $28.5 million in its opening frame, far below the $35M many anticipated, per Deadline. That’s about on par with most comedies of this ilk (see Sandra Bullock’s The Lost City), but David Leitch’s action comedy cost anywhere between $130M-$150M to produce and needed to get off to a strong start, particularly considering the upcoming competition.
Lego did a lot during the build to May 4 to celebrate this year's Star Wars Day, but the Star Wars celebrations for the toy bricks makers aren't over yet. 2024 marks 25 years since the first ever Lego Star Wars sets and the ways in which Lego wants to mark the occasion will continue. Next up is an Imperial Star Destroyer set that's already available on Amazon, and one of the Minifigures included is the long-rumored Cal Kestis one.
Fortnite players aren't too happy about this year's Star Wars event, as they think that there's not enough content added to the Battle Royale mode compared to how much has been put into Lego Fortnite.
In its continuing quest to become Everything to Everyone, Fortnite has shapeshifted, The Thing-like, into a new Lego Star Wars game. The Lego Fortnite survival mode has been expanded with a new, permanent Star Wars world, with this weekend - which includes May the Fourth, don’tcha know - also kicking off a new battle pass and bringing additions to every other part of Fortnite: whether you’re playing it as a battle royale shooter (remember that?), racing game or music-rhythm successor to Guitar Hero.
Thank your own personal deity—possibly C-3PO as worshipped by Ewoks—it's Friday! Obviously, the two biggest headliners are those freebies—LEGO Star Wars III and Tomb Raider [2013]. Whip up a free (and easily ditched) Amazon Prime Gaming subscription to have and to hold them forever in your GOG library. I recently replayed Lara's reboot as part of the ongoing gaming education of my eldest. Still stands up as a well-Crofted action adventure.
