Savor the revival of Star Wars excellence with up to 85% discounts on EA's Jedi and Battlefront series, available until May 15th.
Ready to galvanize your data pads, Star Wars enthusiasts? You're in for a heck of a ride! If you've been living under a drioid for decades, fear not! I've got the lowdown on the most electrifying deals happening amidst the Holonet right now.
The Andor TV show has us stoked, with Tony Gilroy's poise and polish that'll leave your jaw hanging, pondering just what the heck Star Wars did to earn talent like that. And then, there's the announcement of Zero Company, a slick-looking Star Wars-infused take on Xcom – need I say more? We're also tipped off that a third Jedi game is in the works, along with more Star Wars projects that'll keep even the frostiest Hoth natives whispering in anticipation.
Now, onto the deals that'll leave your wallet lighter and your thirst for binge-playing quenched. EA's currently slashing prices across their Star Wars arsenal, with two of the crown jewels receiving the biggest cuts: the Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and its sequel, Jedi Survivor. As you'd expect from your neighborhood Imperial enforcers, they're not going cheap – but with a 85% discount on Fallen Order ($5.99) and 80% off Survivor ($13.99), they're well worth the price of entry, even for entitled Rebellion sympathizers like myself.
Fallen Order may not hit every mark, but its solid moments and the chance to climb AT-ATs in Kashyyyk's swamps make it a must-play for five bucks, and Survivor builds on its predecessor with exceptional third-person action scenes and near-Uncharted 4 levels of adrenaline. Just be mindful that some computer users have reported choppy performance, especially two years after the game's launch.
Other discounted Star Wars goodies include the 2015 reboot of Battlefront ($4.99) and the markedly superior Battlefront 2 – absolutely opt for the latter, despite its initial loot box controversy, which is currently also 83% off at $7.99. Battlefront 2's multiplayer mode suffers from limp attendance according to Steam charts, but don't let that deter you – the core gameplay's as tasty as a moisture vaporator on Tatooine.
Last but not least, a heads-up for Star Wars: Squadrons – a title that missed its mark due to its disappointing multiplayer mode but deserves props for the solitary space-warfare adventures it provides, especially in VR. You can grab it for 85% off ($5.99) – just remember, some users have reported issues with EA account connectivity, so proceed with caution, young bilbies.
So, gear up for this weekend, folks – these offers won't last until the second death star explodes. May the Force be with you, and may your hands remain steadier than a blaster-wielding stormtrooper during the Battle of Endor.
