Game Pack (Graphic: Business Wire)
The Sims 4 Star Wars: Journey to Batuu is set on the remote
planet on the edge of Outer Rim territories, inspired by Star Wars:
Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland Resort® and Walt Disney World Resort®.
As a new visitor to Batuu, Sims will experience the authentic
sights and sounds of the Star Wars universe, including the
Millennium Falcon and DJ R-3X’s interstellar hits at Oga’s Cantina.
They’ll also embark on exciting missions, unite with iconic
characters like Rey and Kylo Ren, and get their hands on their very
own lightsaber and droid.
“With The Sims, we’ve always strived to create content that
takes players’ imaginations beyond their limits to tell fun and
unique stories in the game, and with The Sims 4 Star Wars: Journey
to Batuu, they’ll be able to take their Sims on an adventure to the
edge of the galaxy,” said Lyndsay Pearson, Executive Producer and
GM for The Sims. “We’re such big Star Wars fans, and set out to
create an authentic and immersive Star Wars experience for players
that also embodies the self-expression and deep storytelling
possibilities with The Sims.”
In The Sims 4 Star Wars: Journey to Batuu, players will leave
their homes to travel to the planet of Batuu where they’ll have to
make a choice on which faction to work with, as the actions their
Sims take will lead to control of the Black Spire Outpost. Sims can
choose to support Rey and Vi Moradi as part of the Resistance,
pledge loyalty to the First Order under Kylo Ren or shift their
focus to gaining credits with Hondo Ohnaka and the scoundrels. As
Sims embark on exciting missions, they’ll increase their
reputation, unlock new artifacts and one-of-kind clothing,
customize their own droids and create a coveted lightsaber. After
players leave Batuu and return home, they can even bring back some
of these items, like their lightsaber, to enjoy with other Sims
they’ve already created.
“We loved the idea of giving players the opportunity to tell
their own Star Wars story, and The Sims’ open-ended form of
storytelling and self-expression is the perfect platform to do so,”
said Douglas Reilly, VP, Lucasfilm Games. “Our fans are always
looking for new ways to immerse themselves into the Star Wars
galaxy, and we hope The Sims will provide that in an unexpectedly
new and exciting way, where they’ll influence the world of Batuu
and find their destiny in the galaxy as they see fit.”
“The talented team at Maxis has brought the rich storytelling of
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge to life in a wholly new way with this
experience,” said Scott Trowbridge, portfolio creative executive at
Walt Disney Imagineering. “Seeing Black Spire Outpost on the planet
of Batuu through the unique style of The Sims is a thrill,
including its authentic sights, sounds and cast of characters.”
The Sims 4 Star Wars: Journey to Batuu Game Pack is rated T for
Teen by the ESRB and will be available for $19.99. Information on
