Star Wars Villainous Board Game Lets Players Explore The Dark Side
A new Star Wars board game is set to release this summer, and it will allow players to wield the power of the Dark Side across virtually every era featured in the Star Wars franchise. Board game publisher Ravensburger is well-known for its popular Disney Villainous franchise, which in turn has spawned a spin-off centered around Marvel Comics. Funko Games has also explored iconic Disney-owned properties in board game form over the past few years, with its most recent take on the Star Wars franchise being a Boba Fett-themed expansion of its popular It’s Wild card game.
Meanwhile, Star Wars fans have had plenty of exciting news when it comes to video games over the past few years. In addition to next month’s Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, Ubisoft recently revealed that it is partnering with Disney to make an open-world Star Wars game, and Detroit: Become Human publisher Quantic Dream recently unveiled the High Republic-era Star Wars: Eclipse during last December’s The Game Awards 2021 livestream event. EA and Respawn Entertainment have also confirmed that a sequel to 2019’s Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is on the way, and fans of the classic Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic were greeted by the reveal of a current-gen remake at the beginning of September's PlayStation Showcase. Now, tabletop Star Wars fans have something sinister on the horizon for later this year.
