When fans of the famous Star Wars franchise bought into the award-winning and best-selling Star Wars: Empire at War, they were able to control an entire war for the Star Wars galaxy as the Rebel Alliance or the Galactic Empire. With “Forces of Corruption” players face off against a brand new third faction. Acting as Tyber Zann, players will stop at nothing as they seek to further the sinister agenda of the Zann Consortium and become the most notorious criminal leader since Jabba the Hutt. With all new tactics like piracy, kidnapping, and bribery, players can control the shadowy forces of corruption in their attempt to rule the Star Wars underworld.

“‘Star Wars Empire at War: Forces of Corruption’ allows fans to experience the Star Wars universe in an entirely new way,” said Nancy MacIntyre, Vice President Global Sales and Marketing for LucasArts. “People have always wanted to peek inside the shady underground of the galaxy — home to the spies, bounty hunters and smugglers — and ‘Forces of Corruption’ finally gives them the chance to do so. The illicit technologies, black-market goods, and underhanded tactics in Forces of Corruption allow players to become gangsters in the wretched hives of Star Wars scum and villainy.”

“Creating a completely new faction in Forces of Corruption gave us the opportunity to add a remarkable amount of new content and gameplay to the Empire at War story,” said Mike Legg, president of Petroglyph. “In addition, the decision to add to the Star Wars lore gave us the freedom to create unique and fantastic units and characters. We believe that all Empire at War players, and Star Wars fans alike, will find something new and exciting in ‘Forces of Corruption.’”
