Star Wars: Bounty Hunter will be remade

Star Wars: Bounty Hunter, the 2002 action-adventure game, is getting a remake thanks to Aspyr.

The developer describes it as “a new title that brings the original Star Wars: Bounty Hunter to modern platforms with visual enhancements, improved environmental textures, new dynamic lighting effects, and a new flashlight tool.”

It’s set to release on Switch, PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and PC (Steam) on August 1. It’ll cost $19.99 (£TBA).

The game sees players take on the role of Jango Fett as he shoots and glides across the galaxy, though in this version players will also be able to unlock a new Boba Fett skin as part of an Easter egg from the original game.
