Republic Commando is heading for new platforms -apkrig
Another batch of earlier speculations is confirmed. Star Wars: Republic Commando from 2005 for Xbox and PC is aimed at other platforms. Confirmed version for PlayStation 4 and Switch. The port was taken care of by Aspyr developers and the title will be released on April 6.
Trophies and improved controls
Aspyr says on a PlayStation Blog post that they respect the classics and wanted to capture the original as faithfully as possible, but with a little news, because what worked in 2005 may not be perfect today. So the developers have improved and modified the controls to work better on the DualShock 4 and DualSense drivers. Of course, the game also works on PlayStation 5 for backward compatibility.
In addition, fans can look forward to trophies that were not part of the original version. Republic Commando will sell for $ 15. Aspyr has previously ported other older Star Wars games to the new platforms such as Knight of the Old Republic, Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast or Racer.
The original Republic Commando was still created by the LucasArts studio. In the game you become the commander of an elite unit. You really lead your men into battle and give them orders. You have to work together as a team.
The title was powered by Unreal Engine 2 and offered both single and multiplayer. However, the new version will not include a multiplayer game. In the reviews, the original collected very decent marks and fit nicely into the modern trilogy. He even had to continue with the subtitle Imperial Commando, but the game never got into full production.
