Although Star Wars has become a fixture of movie culture over the generations, it's also left a signature stamp on the world of video games. From LEGO spin-offs and NES movie adaptations to pod-racing simulators, it's hard to talk to someone about games they loved as a **** without the words Star Wars cropping up in there somewhere. And as the series has grown into a powerhouse in the gaming world, so too have video games become a key part of the Star Wars universe as a whole. In recent years, we've seen more and more video games become official parts of the franchise's canon timeline, whether that's Cal Kestis' adventures through a post-Order-66 world in the Star Wars Jedi series or Iden Versio's transformation from Empire trooper to Resistance hero in 2017's Star Wars Battlefront 2. So, for those looking to catch up with the video-game-exclusive chapters of the Star Wars history books, let's take a look at all of the canon Star Wars games in chronological order. Jump to: How to play in chronological orderHow to play in release orderHow Many Canon Star Wars Games Are There? Considering Star Wars has been making its way to video game consoles for over four decades at this point, there are a lot of Star Wars games spread across the history of the series. To be specific, there are well over 100 Star Wars games in total, including everything from first-person shooters and tactical strategy games to dance titles and even educational point-and-click adventures. That's a lot of games, although only a very small selection are part of the series' official storyline. Since Disney wiped the extended universe from the canon, there are now eight games canon to the timeline of the series. Only one of these games won't feature on our chronological list, and that's Star Wars: Uprising. Although the mobile RPG was an official continuation of the Star Wars story, it was closed down back in 2016 due to low player counts and is no longer available. We also haven't included any of the Star Wars web browser games or titles that act as retellings of the events of the main story, such as the Star Wars Journeys series. All Canon Star Wars Games in Chronological Order1. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order The first notch on the official canon timeline, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is set half a decade after the events of Star Wars: Revenge of The Sith, and follows a survivor of the Order 66 Jedi purge. After years of hiding from the Empire and their ruthless Jedi-hunting soldiers, the Inquisitors, Fallen Order's story sees former padawan Cal Kestis rekindle with the force after his powers are discovered, sending him on a galaxy-wide adventure in the hopes of rebuilding the Jedi order. Along the way, he's pursued by the merciless Second Sister; a powerful Sith Inquisitor determined to hunt Cal down and put a stop to his plans. Fallen Order takes heavy inspiration from the soulslike genre, with players exploring iconic and all-new planets while taking part in frantic, fast-paced lightsaber duels and building their arsenal of force powers. It was the beginning of a franchise for developer Respawn Entertainment, who went on to make a sequel four years later. Speaking of... 2. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor The official sequel to Fallen Order, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is set five years after the events of the previous game. Now an older and more wizened Jedi Knight, we pick up Cal's story as he searches for a place to hide from the Empire and raise a new crop of Force sensitive warriors. However, after discovering a powerful Jedi who served during the High Republic era, Cal quickly becomes embroiled in a new battle which tests his abilities and connection to the Jedi teachings. Much like its predecessor, Survivor focuses heavily on soulslike combat spread across several explorable planets, taking players to new locations alongside a few fan favorites. All the while they'll get to test their mettle with brand new fighting stances, allowing them to duel-wield a saber and a blaster, or channel Kylo Ren, and carve through their foes with a powerful crossguard lightsaber. 3. Vader Immortal: A Star Wars VR Series Set after Revenge of the Sith and before Rogue One, Vader Immortal: A Star Wars VR Series takes place over three episodes and follows a nameless smuggler who becomes entangled in a mysterious plot tied to Darth Vader's past. After their ship is pulled out of hyperspace by the Empire, the smuggler is forced to explore Vader's castle on Mustafar, where they learn about a mystical artifact with the power to conquer ******. Vader Immortal aimed to grant players the childhood dream of wielding a lightsaber with their own hands, planting them in the world of Star Wars via a VR headset and fully immersing them in the Jedi experience. 4. Star Wars: Battlefront 2 (2017) Although Star Wars: Battlefront 2's multiplayer takes place across the various eras of Star Wars history, the story mode begins just after the events of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. It follows Iden Versio: the commander of an Imperial squadron known as Inferno Squad. Spanning thirty years, it follows Versio and her allies' journey, from the destruction of the Second ****** Star all the way to the climax of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Along the way, she meets various iconic characters and explores some of Star Wars' most famous battlegrounds, including Bespin, Endor and Naboo. In-game, players can expect plenty of third and first-person firefights, battling across lovingly recreated maps while wielding blasters, flying ships and even picking up a lightsaber as one of the game's many hero characters. 5. Star Wars: Squadrons The next notch on the timeline belongs to Star Wars: Squadrons; EA's space-fighting spin-off. Strapping players into an array of iconic starships, they'll engage in huge battles across the vast reaches of the galaxy, getting into intense dog fights from behind the controls of X-Wings, Tie Fighters and more. Although the beginning of the story takes place during the events of A New Hope, the bulk of Squadrons' campaign is set after the Return of the Jedi, with players switching between the roles of a Resistance and Empire pilot. Shifting back and forth between both perspectives, it tells the story of a secret Rebel project codenamed Starhawk, which poses a major threat to the Empire. Intending to prevent its completion, the Empire rushes to stop the plans, leading to plenty of all-out, space-based skirmishes. 6. Star Wars: Droid Repair Bay Set during the events of The Last Jedi, Star Wars: Droid Repair Bay is an entirely free VR experience that tasks players with repairing BB-8 and a series of other droids. They'll have to remove and replace faulty parts, tweak circuits and ensure the droids are ready for field deployment. Droid Repair Bay was a tie-in with the release of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, with players cast as a mechanic on the Raddus space station shortly before its battle with the Supremacy dreadnought during the events of the film. 7. Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy's Edge The final slot on the timeline comes via Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy's Edge. Set between the events of The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker, Galaxy's Edge is a VR experience where players step into the shoes of a nameless droid mechanic and explore the planet of Batuu: the same setting as Disneyland Park's Star-Wars-themed attraction. After ******-landing on Batuu to evade smugglers that boarded your ship, Galaxy's Edge has you ********* your way through First Order soldiers and Guavian ********** while solving puzzles and delving deeper into the planet's various mysteries. It eventually got an expansion called The Last Call, which allowed players to train as a Jedi and suit up as the legendary ********* droid, IG-88.

Although the current list of canon video games in the Star Wars universe is relatively small, over the next few years, it appears to be growing significantly. On August 30, Ubisoft is set to add another major entry to the franchise in Star Wars: Outlaws. An open-world RPG casting players as underworld thief Kay Vess, it promises expansive worlds to explore and a new canon story, featuring some returning Star Wars characters like Jabba the Hutt and Qi'ra. Meanwhile, on June 4, we can expect Star Wars Hunters, which is a free-to-play multiplayer team shooter coming to mobile devices. In terms of projects a little further out, Heavy Rain developer, Quantic Dream, announced back in 2021 that it's working on a Star Wars title set during the High Republic era titled Star Wars: Eclipse. Amy Hennig also revealed she was working on a Star Wars game with Skydance Media back in 2022, while Saber Interactive's CEO recently confirmed that the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake is still in the works. In short, it seems we can expect plenty more visits to a galaxy far, far away over the next few years. Looking for more Star Wars during Star Wars day?

Forgotten Gems is a regular column about notable games that have moved out of the public eye and may not be easily accessible anymore. To see all the other games I've covered so far, be sure to check out the 11 previous issues of Forgotten Gems in our Columns section. I can’t look at the box art for Ogre Battle: The March of the ****** Queen without “hearing” Ogre Battle: The March of the ****** Queen. From its iconic main theme to the cheers and jeers sounds when liberating towns, and the muffled “****** it out” and “thank you!” voice samples – it all comes right back. I haven’t played this – now sadly obscure – SNES strategy RPG in three decades, but booting up the dusty ********* cartridge on my Super Nt instantly reminds me why I skipped pesky, non-essential things like sleep when I first brought it home. Like so many things, my love affair with the Ogre Battle series started in 1993 during my college years in Japan. I had devoured Final Fantasy IV and V, and with the next installment in my favorite RPG series still a year off, I was looking for anything to fill the void. Ogre Battle’s cover art immediately called to me. No surprise, really – it’s the early work of a future master of character design: Akihiko Yoshida. You may not know his name, but you probably know Vaan and Ashe from Final Fantasy XII and have no doubt seen Yoshida’s art style in everything from Vagrant Story and Bravely Default, to Nier Automata. But Queen songs weren’t the only things referenced in Matsuno’s games. His love for the Alien movies is apparent in the possible name selections of Ripley and Newt, as well as The Thing’s MacReady. Sadly, subsequent Ogre releases broke with the Queen naming tradition and used -- admittedly legally more defensible -- original subtitles. [/url] Despite the fact that you never directly control a singular character, each warrior has a detailed set of stats, including RPG staples like Strength, Agility, Intelligence, Charisma, Luck, and hitpoints, in addition to the aforementioned alignment. Plus, there are many different character classes – including powerful monsters that cause a lot of damage but cannot lead a party. It’s a surprisingly deep system, given that its main gameplay loop unfolds in real time. Well, accelerated real-time with different speed settings – and there’s even a day/night cycle that affects certain units. Have a vampire on your team? During the daytime, you don’t! You just have someone snoozing in a coffin who can’t *******. If that sounds daunting, know that it does take a bit of time to get into and understand it all, with even expert players trying to puzzle out all the nuances over multiple playthroughs on how to master the reputation system and get the best ending. Sounds like the beginning of a new, lasting series that would surely be around forever, right? This is Forgotten Gems, remember? Breakthru Ogre Battle: The March of the ****** Queen sold more than half a million copies – a fifth of that via a PlayStation limited edition re-release some three years after its Super NES debut in 1993. But creator Yasumi Matsuno had big plans for his new roleplaying saga, even before it emerged as a surprise hit. March of the ****** Queen is subtitled Episode V and was meant to be the first story in a seven story saga, with chapters I-IV acting as prequels. As a newly-minted fan, I didn’t know all that and searched in vain for the previous games – there was no internet in the early ‘90s to tell me “five really means first”. But I also didn’t have to wait long for a sequel to Ogre Battle to be announced. But instead of a direct sequel and a sixth or a prequel episode, the next Ogre Battle game would be Tactics Ogre: Episode VII. If you’ve played Tactics Ogre, you know it’s a huge departure from the original Ogre Battle in everything from the story focus on politics over high fantasy to its slower-paced, chess-like gameplay. Which may relate to a character trait of Matsuno’s that he himself has highlighted in interviews with the ********* press over the years: he tends to get bored with his creations, even if players don’t. Someone will make something better, so I'll make something different." -- Yasumi Matsuno Inspired by games like Solstice and Landstalker while finishing up development of Ogre Battle, Matsuno fell in love with the idea of making an isometric action game. That game idea morphed into a full-fledged pitch for an Ogre Battle Saga game called Lancelot: Somebody to Love, which would eventually turn into Tactics Ogre: The Bequest of King Dorghalla, before settling on the final, once again Queen-inspired, subtitle: Let us Cling Together. Under Pressure “Someone will make something better, so I'll make something different”, Matsuno said in a 2018 interview with DenFamiNicoGamer when asked about the change from Battle to Tactics. “It may be a strange analogy, but the first Alien, which was made by Ridley Scott, and the second film, which was made by James Cameron, have completely different ‘tastes’, right? It changed from being a sci-fi horror movie set in space to an action and war movie. I really like that transition." "When making a sequel to Ogre Battle, I intentionally aimed to create a completely different style of game rather than a ‘2’. I didn't have any particular proof, but I was convinced that ********* fans would probably be more happy with that.” Unfortunately, nobody really stepped up to make a “better Ogre Battle”. I was initially disappointed in the new direction the Ogre Battle series took by abandoning its real-time roots, but grew to appreciate it and the many games like it that have followed over the years (Final Fantasy Tactics, Octopath Traveler, and Triangle Strategy, to name just a few). Matsuno left Quest after Tactics Ogre shipped and joined the company he was initially competing with: Square. At Square, he would go on to make Final Fantasy Tactics and Vagrant Story, before moving on again to, erm, redder pastures, such as working on slash-fest MadWorld from PlatinumGames. The Quest for Another Ogre Battle While there are plenty of quality turn-based strategy/tactical roleplaying series, including ***** Emblem, Valkyria Chronicles, and Disgaea, to mention just a few, there were really no contemporary competitors to the classic real-time Ogre Battle formula. One game that attempted to merge unit tactics, roleplaying, and real-time gameplay came from developer Genki, notably published by Nintendo in Japan: Napoleon. Despite its historical title, this 2001 Game Boy Advance game literally features ogres. Units move in real-time on the map screen but the player also directly controls the commander, Napoleon, himself. Nintendo’s own Pikmin used a similar approach later that year -- but to much better effect. Nintendo’s attempt to create an "ogre-like" ended up as a ***** end. It’s just nowhere near as good. It did see see a French release a few months later under the name L’aigle de Guerre and was promptly forgotten. [/url]Don’t Stop Me Now But despite its creator’s departure, the core Ogre series wasn’t over yet. Quest programmer Tatsuya Azeyagi replaced Matsuno in the director’s chair and led a team with Megami Tensei Gaiden designer Koji Takino to fill the gap between Ogre Battle and Tactics Ogre. The game: Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber, the sixth chapter in the saga. Published by Atlus and Nintendo, the excellent and ambitious sequel featured polygonal maps and 3D-modeled, pre-rendered character sprites a la Donkey Kong Country and clocked in on the second-biggest N64 cartridge with 40MB/320 megabits, second only to Resident Evil 2’s 64MB cart. If you’re up-to-date on Nintendo 64 history, the ******* the cartridge size, the ******* the risk for the publisher because cartridges had to be manufactured – and paid for – way in advance. That requires advance cash and can mean ******** the studio’s future on a single game’s success. The result was that Ogre Battle 64 was impossible to find upon launch. It sold a more modest 200,000 units, but given the positive reviews and word of mouth, its fate was no doubt caused less by gamers not being interested and more by it not being available to purchase. I vividly remember the many frustrated letters we received at IGN64 during those days. Quest needed money. It sublicensed Ogre Battle to SNK, who were looking for hot properties to adapt for the new NeoGeo Pocket ****** handheld system, a capable and underappreciated competitor to the Game Boy Advance. The result was that Ogre Battle suddenly saw a bit of a renaissance. Two “side story” (Gaiden) games from two different developers followed Ogre 64 in quick succession: SNK’s Ogre Battle Gaiden: Prince of Zenobia for NGPC and Quest’s own Tactics: Ogre: The Knight of Lodis for Game Boy Advance. Both games’ stories run parallel to the events in the very first game, Episode V, with the GBA title bridging the events between Episode V and VI. All *****, All ***** The NGPC title – more of an imitation of the original than a game that could rekindle the flame – was a mere blip on the radar, while the GBA Tactics Ogre saw respectable sales, certainly for a strategy title, with more than 380k units sold through. Yes, it outperformed its 64-bit brother despite the GBA’s rich RPG and strategy library and a total lack of them on Nintendo 64. Was I the only one who preferred the classic Ogre Battles to the isometric tactics variety? But what seemed like a rebirth actually proved to be the end of the line. In 2002, Square acquired Quest – and despite our wildest dreams of a reunited team working together to finally give us the first four chapters of the story, we only got a Tactics Ogre remake for PSP – and later, with very little fanfare, a new take on the same game again via a 2022 remaster called Tactics Ogre Reborn. The Miracle But before I leave you on another downer of an ending because nobody is working on another true Ogre Battle game (at least, that we know of) and somehow, neither the SNES original nor its N64 sequel are easily accessible, have you heard of Vanillaware? Well, the saints behind Odin Sphere and Dragon’s Crown seem to have a soft spot for Ogre Battle as well. Unicorn Overlord arrived as an absolute highlight for SRPG fans in early 2024. If you missed it, give it a shot! When it was first revealed in Nintendo's September 2023 Direct, I had to do a double take because I genuinely thought it was a new Ogre Battle game. So perhaps Matsuno was right all along – it just took a few years to get there. Somebody did make “something better” and a promising new RPG sub-genre continues under the banner of a new queen. Where can you play it now? But back to the classic Ogre Battle RTSRPG titles. In case you lost count, the 16-bit Tactics Ogre – which was never localized on Super NES – got a Saturn edition in Japan, then a translated wide release on PlayStation, then it was remade for PSP, and finally remade again in 2022 on everything but Xbox. Sadly, the original Ogre Battle was last seen in the west on the Wii Virtual Console in 2009, though Wii U and 3DS saw Virtual Console editions in Japan in 2013 and 2017, respectively. Ogre Battle 64 hit the Virtual Console on Wii in 2010 and saw a late release on Wii U in the US in 2017, as well. Neither title has seen multi-platform or compilation releases nor an announcement for Nintendo Switch Online. Given that Square titles have been entirely absent from Nintendo’s subscription service, it’s unlikely we’ll see them added anytime soon. Which leaves the possibility of a future compilation – or, the old-fashioned way to legally play them on the platforms they were released on. Bad news, folks. The original Ogre Battle: The March of the ****** Queen cartridge commands a price of almost $200 (loose) on eBay. Ogre Battle: Person of Lordly Caliber is a steal, by comparison, costing $100 for just the cartridge (no box or manual). A copy of Ogre Battle Gaiden for NeoGeo Pocket ****** could be yours for just $30, on the other hand – and thanks to the new NGPC core and converter you can play it on the Analog Pocket's gorgeous screen, too, if you own this fantastic retro handheld. In general, ********* versions of all three Ogre games are way cheaper since more carts were manufactured, but know that you can’t switch the in-game text to English. What about you? Are you interested in replaying either one of the three Ogre Battle games on a modern device? Or are you content with the torch passing to Unicorn Overlord as Square’s prime medieval-based strategy RPG series? Peer Schneider heads up IGN's Guides, Tools, and Map Genie teams and hopes to one day see Square bring back Matsuno to give us Ogre Battle: Episode I - The Show Must Go On.

There's a lot to enjoy in the base version of Fallout 4, but one particular feature that didn't show up until DLC definitely should have been included for free. Fallout 4 has always had a somewhat contentious space in the franchise, and a big part of it is a feeling that the game falls into a one step forward, two steps back problem. Enhanced gunplay and settlement building are just a couple of the significant new attractions, but missing Fallout roleplaying elements and fewer narrative complexities can be disappointing compared to prior titles.
