Disney and Lucasfilm Ltd. today unveiled the first wave of new content inspired by the first of the Star Wars standalone films, “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” for the hit mobile combat strategy game Star Wars: Commander. With this update, new characters and vehicles from the highly anticipated film such as Shoretroopers, Rebel Commandos, Gigoran Fighters and AT-ACT Walkers will be added to the game. Additional “Rogue One” content will be added in-game later this year.
The update also introduces a new Armory feature that allows players to customize the appearance of their troops though special equipment. These customizations include recognizable Armory content from the classic Star Wars films, including Imperial Snowtroopers, Cold-weather Rebel Soldiers and Captain Han Solo in protective gear to battle sub-zero temperatures on Hoth.
