You’ll be able to play as a range of different classes, like Bounty Hunter, Smuggler or Diplomat. The game’s villain, an Imperial devotee, is trying to censor news of the Emperor’s death to keep his grip on power in the area, _Wired_ [reports](http://www.wired.com/2015/06/star-wars-uprising/ "undefined"). Here’s more from the [StarWars.com press release](http://www.starwars.com/news/star-wars-uprising-puts-you-in-a-whole-new-galaxy "undefined"): --- > “” --- Beta testing for the new game starts over the next few weeks. Hopefully this gives us all something to tide us over until _The Force Awakens_ hits theaters in December. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3909762/star-wars-uprising/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3909762/star-wars-uprising/"},"headline":"A New Star Wars Game Was Just Announced and It Sounds Amazing","datePublished":"2015-06-04T19:42:29.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T08:05:38.372Z","description":"It's called Star Wars: Uprising","url":"https://time.com/3909762/star-wars-uprising/","keywords":["Tech","Video Games","Star Wars topic","pubdesk"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt15a67615baae3d71/6988530ccd6848fa210a0309/screen-shot-2015-06-04-at-3-41-15-pm.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Alex Fitzpatrick","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/alex-fitzpatrick/"}],"articleSection":"Business","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt15a67615baae3d71/6988530ccd6848fa210a0309/screen-shot-2015-06-04-at-3-41-15-pm.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Star Wars: Uprising","caption":"Star Wars: Uprising","creditText":"Star Wars","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/business/","name":"Business"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-tech/","name":"Tech"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3909762/star-wars-uprising/","name":"A New Star Wars Game Was Just Announced and It Sounds Amazing"}}]}] ```
