Star Wars Villainous: Revenge At Last Introduces Darth Maul And Captain Phasma This July
13.03.2024 - 13:29 / thegamer.com
Ravensburger has lifted the lid on its previously announced ‘expandalone’ expansion to Star Wars Villainous, bringing two of the series’ most iconic baddies to the game for the first time.
In Star Wars Villainous: Revenge At Last, you’ll be able to take charge of either Darth Maul or Captain Phasma, complete with their own strategies, and, of course, the abstract game pieces that make the Villainous series look so cool.
Announced earlier this year, the Villainous series – including Star Wars, Disney, and Marvel – will be moving to a smaller ‘expandalone’ product lineup, with smaller releases of a couple of characters at a cheaper price over the large-scale expansions of before.
Every Villainous release is compatible with the others in its line, meaning you can play Revenge At Last with the other Star Wars Villainous releases, like the Power of the Dark Side base release and its first expansion, Scum and Villainy.
Maul, of course, appeared in the prequel trilogy as one of the main antagonists of The Phantom Menace. Known for his double-ended lightsaber and his demonic design, he’s generally considered one of the most memorable villains in the entire Star Wars series. With that in mind, it’s surprising it’s taken this long for him to force-somersault his way into Villainous.
Meanwhile, Phasma had less of an impact on the series, but was still a big threat in the first two sequel trilogy movies, The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi. As a Stormtrooper captain, she’s best known for her chrome armour and ruthless commitment to the First Order.
We don’t know how Maul and Phasma will play just yet, but head of new games marketing at Ravensburger Lysa Penrose has said that Maul’s will focus on his mastery of the dark side of the force through “immersive gameplay”. We can also expect it to chronicle his rise to Sith Lord and eventual fall, as well.
We know even less about Phasma. She’s been described by Ravensburger as being “fiercely formidable”, and that we’ll find out more about both characters and how they play when preorders open in June, ahead of their exclusive Target release on July 21, 2024.
A big part of Star Wars Villainous is its use of Vehicles, which, when played on the Deep Space section of the board, can open up new locations for your villains to play in. Maybe in these we’ll see Darth Maul’s ship, The Scimitar, or Phasma might come with a First Order Transporter.
Maul and Phasma will be joining an already impressive lineup of villains. Power of the Dark Side kicked things off with Asajj Ventress, Moff Gideon, General Grievous, Kylo Ren, and, of course, Darth Vader. Last year’s Scum and Villainy then added three more, with Boba Fett and the two slightly more obscure characters Seventh Sister and

We Need Another Star Wars Battlefront Reboot
Two decades on from its original launch, Star Wars Battlefront is suffering a disaster of a re-release. Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection, a compilation featuring the first two games in the series, is a messier than a Jawa that swallowed a thermal detonator thanks to server problems, bugs, and more. What was at first a highly-anticipated re-release has become the target of overwhelmingly negative reviews on Steam.
