Disney announces Star Wars: Rivals, a PvP shooter for Android and iOS
July 13, 2025
As a bigStar Warsfan, Disney buying Lucasfilm has been great. Three new movies (with another around the corner), countless toys, andnew gameshave taken up a significant amount of my time. I’ve never been a hugemobile gamer, but therecent Star Wars mobile gameshave looked somewhat interesting, and now there’s a new one. Lucasfilm and Disney justannounceda brand-new game calledStar Wars: Rivalsthat has me genuinely hyped.
Star Wars: Rivalsis a cover-based third-person shooter. The game features a ton of well-known characters from the franchise’s past movies. We’ve seen mentions of new characters like Finn and Phasma, as well as classics like Han, Luke, Leia, Vader, and Chewie from the original. You can even play as Jyn Erso or Director Krennic fromRogue One: A Star Wars Story. Sadly no Jar Jar yet.
Star Wars: Rivalstake place in familiar places like the Death Star, Jakku, Bespin, Scarif, or Hoth. The characters all have special abilities, like Vader’s choke, Admiral Ackbar’s orbital strike, or Chewie’s bowcaster. You’ll also form factions like the Rebellion, Empire, First Order, or Underworld to gain bonuses like increase damage or faster health regeneration.
There’s no official release date yet, but you can register for the game on Google Play by hitting the button below. Early registration gets Android users access to Death Troopers, the elite fighters in black armor from Rogue One. Users on iOS get access to Rebel Special Forces, the most elite soldiers in the Rebellion if they register now. Since the game supports cross-platform play, we have a feeling that this could lead to some fun battles.
