Star Wars: Bounty Hunter Remastered: Release Date, Jango Fett Returns & More

Calling all Star Wars bounty hunters! Get ready to step into the boots of Jango Fett as Star Wars: Bounty Hunt Remastered blasts its way onto consoles and PC this August.

Hunt Your Way Through the Galaxy This August

Originally released over two decades ago, Star Wars: Bounty Hunter is getting a modern makeover courtesy of Aspyr. The remastered version will launch on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Switch, and PC on August 1st, all for a cool $20.

A Familiar Story with Enhanced Thrills

For those unfamiliar with the classic title, Star Wars: Bounty Hunter puts you in the shoes of Jango Fett, the infamous bounty hunter, during the events leading up to Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones. You’ll track down targets across the galaxy, encountering iconic characters and locations from the Star Wars universe. Originally a PlayStation 2 and GameCube title, Bounty Hunter offered a prequel storyline that fleshed out Jango Fett’s backstory.

New Features Illuminate the Hunt

The remaster boasts a visual upgrade with improved textures and a dynamic lighting system. More importantly, it addresses a long-standing player complaint: the lack of a flashlight! Jango’s arsenal now includes this handy tool, perfect for navigating the game’s dark corners.

Boba Fett Bonus

The biggest news for fans might be the inclusion of a playable Boba Fett! The original game hinted at this feature with a hidden message in the game files, but it never came to fruition. In the remaster, after completing the main story, players can finally take control of Boba Fett, offering a fresh perspective on the game’s missions. While it might not fit perfectly into the narrative, it’s a delightful addition for Boba Fett fans, especially considering the cancellation of Star Wars: 1313.

So, grab your blasters and prepare to take on the galaxy. Star Wars: Bounty Hunter Remastered lands on consoles and PC on August 1st.
