Star Wars: Attack Squadrons Announced

That's right, LucasArts and Disney have announced Star Wars: Attack Squadrons, a free-to-play online space combat game.

Not much has been announced about the game yet, but here's what we do know:

It's free to play.

There will three PVP game modes: Free for all, Team dogfight and base defense. These will all be 16 player dogfights.

You can customise your ship, upgrading it and personalising it as you collect and modify them to your own specifications. Items can be unlocked from successful matches.

You can team up with friends and create a community of Starfighter pilots.

There will be regular updates with new ships, items and upgrades every month.

It will be based in the Star Wars universe, in case you didn't get that much.
