Episode VII Themed Expansion Hitting Star Wars: Commander
The Force Awakens is sweeping across all Star Wars media, and mobile strategy title Star Wars: Commander is the next to get its dose of Episode VII. The latest expansion includes two new units and a new planet featured in the upcoming film.
Dowutin Hunters and Luggabeast Munitioneers are the new mercenary units. The former is a heavy infantry based on a new species that'll debut in the new movie, and wields thermal detonators and modified starfighter blasters.The latter unit is basically a mechanized pack mule that provides support by increasing the damage capabilities of surrounding allies.
Planet Takodana is one of the new worlds in Force Awakens. Populated by vagrants and other shady figures, it’s the fitting home for Maz Kanata, a space pirate whose castle is included in the level.
Disney also revealed that players who log in now receive five consumable units free of charge. Check out the expansion's trailer and some screenshots below.
