Sharpen your light skills, befriend a droid, and get ready to unlock missions for the Resistance, First Order, or villains. The more you reach, the closer you are to meeting iconic Star Wars characters like Rey and Kylo Ren. Watch the official public trailer below:
Experience the Edge of the Galaxy
From the moment Sims arrive at Batuu, they will be surrounded by the faces, sounds and smells of Star Wars™. Majestic disturbed trees stand high above the settlements and ships pass above, engines roaring. Black Spire Outpost is buzzing with activity as foreign locals and busy droids continue their days. Vendors serve Ronto Wraps and Fried Endorian Tip-Yip to hungry Niktos and Rodians. Interesting Abednedos, Mirialans and Twi’leks browse through the wares in Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities. Sims can ship a particularly infamous ship, the Millennium Falcon™, or hope to escape patrolling stormtroopers. But once they arrive, they never want to leave.
Earn a reputation
The tension between the factions on Batuu is clear. Stormtroopers patrol the streets, searching for evidence of hidden resistance, and rebels carry out secret plans from their mysterious bunker. Even the smugglers operate a lucrative business, remaining neutral to take advantage of both the Resistance and the First Order. So, where will your Sim participate?
DJ R-3X, the droid responsible for the music at Oga’s Cantina, is the best point of contact for learning about the various factions. At first, missions will be simple, sending your Sim to fire guns via supply boxes or subsequent rumors about the growing Resistance. As a result of completing a mission, Sims collect rewards – and earn reputation points with the accompanying faction. Increase your Sim’s reputation to rise through the ranks, from sympathizer or supporter to Resistance sergeant in first order. If galactic credits motivate your Sim more than ideals, the villains are always looking for help – that’s just good company.
As your Sim’s reputation grows, so does the way locals respond to it. A Sim highly valued by the First Order will find it difficult to talk to resistance supporters. Climbing the chain of command by completing missions also begins to introduce new faction contacts. Depending on the choice your Sim makes, they may encounter Vi Moradi running a mission, Rey practicing with her lightsaber, Kylo Ren losing his temper, or Hondo Ohnaka cheating at a game of sabacc.
Receive artifacts and treasures
It would not be Star Wars™ without candlesticks and droids. On Batuu, Sims can find parts for their own lights! Take a trip to Savi’s Workshop to see some of the hilt and cyber crystal options, or complete missions to earn rare pieces as rewards. Try different crystals until you find the one that works, and once done, start training! Exercising with a light sword or sparring with other Sims also builds the Fitness skill.
Need a friend on Batuu? Why not a droid ?! Just collect scrap from scrap heaps around Batuu and earn enough galactic credits, then buy a droid from the Droid Depot, where they offer both R- and BB-series astromech droids. Once Sims have customized their droid, give it a name and watch it go! Your Sim’s new partner will follow them everywhere on Batuu. Plus, droids are useful on missions. They can use their scanners and electro-prods to help Sims search boxes, scramble control panels, or distract competing faction members. This one are the droids you are looking for!
Bring It Home
When your Sim returns from Batuu, they do not return empty-handed. Enjoy Star Wars™ inspired updates in decor, home design, and even recipes. Whether sims display the antiquities they have collected on Batuu or completely improve their style to imitate the homes of Black Spire Outpost, they do not have to leave Star WarsEfter adventures after. Invite neighbors over for a game of sabacc or a litsaber sparring session if you like.
Plus, all the droids ordered on Batuu are also coming back into the Sims world! Sure, droids may not interact with people in Willow Creek, but Sims can still build relationships with them and have fun driving them along a data path!
The Sims 4 Star Wars Journey to Batuu Game Pack is available on September 8th!
