Prepare to embark on an intergalactic adventure as Aspyr Media announces the exciting re-release of the classic 2002 game, Star Wars: Bounty Hunter. Scheduled to drop on August 1st, the game will be available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC, making it accessible to a broad audience of gamers across various platforms.

For those eager to jump back into the boots of the feared bounty hunter Jango Fett, a prequel to Attack of the Clones, there’s good news: preordering the game secures a 10% discount, lowering the price to just $18. In this engaging gameplay experience, players utilize Jango’s iconic dual blasters, flamethrower, and whipcord to conquer enemies across diverse environments.

The re-release isn’t just a nostalgia trip; it has been “optimized” for new hardware, featuring enhanced lighting effects that promise to bring new life to the game’s visuals. On PlayStation 5, the experience is even more immersive, thanks to the innovative use of the DualSense controller. Adaptive triggers let players feel the recoil of Jango’s blasters, while in-game communications emit from the DualSense speaker, and the controller’s lightbar displays Jango’s health status, enhancing gameplay with tactile feedback.

Fans can get a glimpse of what’s to come by checking out the official announcement trailer for the re-release. Aspyr Media, now a part of the Embracer family, continues its tradition of revitalizing beloved Star Wars titles, despite a recent shift in focus after their work on a Knights of the Old Republic remake. This follows their release of ports for the original Star Wars Battlefront games earlier this year, which, despite mixed reviews, showcased their commitment to bringing classic Star Wars experiences to the current generation of gamers.

As August approaches, the anticipation for this enhanced version of Star Wars: Bounty Hunter is palpable. Whether you’re a longtime fan or a newcomer to the saga, this re-release offers a perfect blend of classic storytelling and modern gaming technology.
