For those jumping in for the first time, I recommend downloading the Thrawn’s Revenge overhaul mod which acts like a free third expansion to the already massive RTS. To celebrate the reactivation of multiplayer, Star Wars: Empire at War is on sale on Steam, going for 50% off at $9.99/£7.49. If you already own Empire at War, the multiplayer update is available on Steam for free right now. Players could create huge armadas and even bring giant ships like the Super Star Destroyer into combat. Battles could take place either on the ground or in space, with space battles being the true highlight.
Commanders have to balance resource gathering and technological research, while fending off attacks from enemy factions. Petroglyph have also fixed up some long-standing bugs and finally added windowed support for this ten-year-old RTS.įor those who have never played Empire at War, it’s remembered mainly for its expansive Galactic Conquest mode, where players take control of either the Rebel Alliance or the Empire and vye for control of the entire galaxy. It’s always great to see older popular games still being supported and the good news is there’s also 50% off the Star Wars: Empire Gold Pack right now on Steam.Luckily, this update restores Empire at War’s online functionality, allowing you to connect to other players without the use of third-party programs. The game’s fan base has only increased with time and the user concurrency rates remain very strong, so we really felt like this was something we needed to do for all the loyal fans. Petroglyph’s General manager Chuck Kroegel added, We have received a huge number of requests to restore the multiplayer functionality to Star Wars: Empire at War. That s not all, Petroglyph has now integrated Steam Workshop support for modders. This new multiplayer update has removed the Gamespy multiplayer support and will now utilise Steam for multiplayer games.
It may be ten years since the game first appeared but that’s not stopped a new update appearing on Steam today. Petroglyph’s Star Wars strategy title Star Wars: Empire at War which was released back in 2006 has been updated.
