STAR WARS: FORCE ARENA

LEAD PRODUCER KRISTOFFER BERGQVIST TALKS TO STARWARS.COM ABOUT THE NEW MOBILE GAME!

Which Star Wars duo truly has the greatest “combined strength,” to quote Darth Vader? Thanks to Star Wars: Force Arena, we’ll find out.

Force Arena is a new mobile game (available on the App Store for iPhone and iPad, and on Google Play for Android devices) in which you build your own squad of iconic Star Wars characters and vehicles and take on opponents in real-time PvP battles. The roster of heroes and villains — at more than 60 deep — is large enough to fill a few space cruisers, and in addition to saga legends like the Emperor and Luke Skywalker, features new faces from Rogue One, Marvel’s in-continuity comics, and more.

The game comes courtesy of developer Netmarble Games and Lucasfilm, and promises a rewarding, ongoing experience; you’ll collect and upgrade characters, try out different pairs (Darth Vader and Doctor Aphra is kind of a dream come true for comic book fans), and earn rewards through special events. StarWars.com caught up over e-mail with Lucasfilm’s lead games producer, Kristoffer Bergqvist, to discuss the genesis of Force Arena, why the real-time gameplay element is so important, and how we can beat him at his own game.
