Pair of new Star Wars double-game-packs coming this month

Courtesy of Aspyre, a pair of boxed Star Wars bundles are coming to Switch and PS4. One focuses on the prequels, and one on a classic game series.

Bundling a galaxy

There are… a lot of Star Wars video games, all things considered. So you know when one is still venerated years and years (and years) after it’s release, it’s probably a good time.

Well, publisher Aspyre remembers, and the company has 4 such titles heading to retail shelves this month. All 4 of said games are actually out already, but via digital means. This’ll be the first time that the likes of Republic Commando, Racer, and titles with the “Jedi Knight” banner have seen store shelves in a long time.

And those are your bundles by the way, with Racer and RC heading up a prequel-directed one, while the Jedi Knight games feature in the second.
