From Jedi Knights and Sith to bounty hunters and alien creatures, the series offers strategic depth that allows developers to create a constantly evolving competitive landscape.
The trend towards smartphones
The decision to release the game on Android and iOS smartphones, in addition to PC, reflects the companies' awareness of the importance of the mobile gaming market, which now accounts for the largest share of the global gaming industry's revenue.
