The Sims 4 Announces New Galaxy’s Edge Inspired Expansion

The Sims 4 is getting a big Star Wars expansion next month with The Sims 4: Journey to Batuu.

Inspired by Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland and Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Journey to Batuu will be available for The Sims 4 for PC, Mac, PS4, and Xbox One on September 8.

The first-look trailer showcased some of the locales and characters from Galaxy’s Edge, like Vi Moradi and Oga’s Cantina, plus many more familiar faces and droids.

EA’s official description reads: “Hone your lightsaber skills, befriend a droid, and get ready to unlock missions for the Resistance, First Order, or scoundrels. The more you accomplish, the closer you are to meeting iconic Star Wars characters like Rey and Kylo Ren.”

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.
