A remaster of classic action game Star Wars: Episode I: Jedi Power Battles, slated for release tomorrow on on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch, has gotten a new trailer that you can check out below to celebrate its launch.
The short trailer gives us a quick glimpse at the fast-paced title, which allows players to take on levels based on Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace with a host of different characters. For context, the original release of the game was all the way back in 2000, coming out on PlayStation and Dreamcast.
The side-scrolling arcade-style action game will allow players to engage in fights against a host of different varieties of droids from The Phantom Menace. There are also a host of playable characters, including Mace Windu, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Qui-Gon Jinn, and even deep cuts from the Star Wars universe like Plo Koon and Adi Gallia.
The game also unlocks special characters like Ki-Adi Mundi, Darth Maul, Queen Amidala, and even a Battle Droid right from the start. Players had to complete various challenges in the original release of the game to unlock these characters.
The title also features multiplayer in the form of local split-screen co-op, where up to 2 players can take on the game’s 10-level campaign side-by-side. Players can also complete bonus mini-games throughout their journey through the campaign.
Among the new features coming to Star Wars: Episode I: Jedi Power Battles are the option to use classic controls or a new modern control scheme, a New Game+ mode, fun cheat codes that can be toggled like Big Head Mode, and even a host of new playable characters like the Tusken Raider.
