  • Set during the end of the Clone Wars, the game will be a tactical, turn-based single player experience releasing in 2026.
  • Player customisation will allow for a non-animated version of Hawks to be altered to the player’s preferences, alongside their squad, with characters including Clone Troopers, astromechs, and a Jedi.
  • Interactions with squad members will enable the player to unlock combat synergies and change the outcome of high-stake encounters.
