Microsoft has confirmed that the Kinect Star Wars game, and Kinect Star Wars Bundle that was debut last year, will finally be available on April 3, 2012.
Some new modes and game mechanics have been worked into the game as well since its delay. According to Microsoft’s Major Nelson you can play in “five dynamic modes” including; Jedi Destiny: Dark Side Rising, Podracing, Rancor Rampage, Galactic Dance Off and Duels of Fate.
With added content you can now participate in “new experiences” through the Jedi Destiny Mode, Major Nelson lists these new experiences as follows:
- Space battles: As you travel the Galaxy to face an evil that threatens to undermine the fabric of the Republic, you’ll engage with forces of the Empire in intense space battles
- Speeder Bikes and Landspeeders: Pilot iconic Speeder Bikes and Landspeeders on your epic journey
- New duels: Battle opponents like Count Dooku and Darth Vader on your journey to become a Jedi
- ·New Duels of Fate mode, a battle-by-battle experience to sharpen your Jedi skills against the Dark Side.
- ·New Galactic Dance Off mode loaded with Star Wars-themed pop tunes where those still honing their Jedi skills can take a break to battle Darth Vader on the dance floor or bust a move “Solo style.â€
Although the console and the game were shown at E3 last year, it has spent months being delayed. The game is being launched just as Bioware’s Star Wars: The Old Republic, a vast MMO experience, begins to pick up steam.
