Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (Wii Version) is coming to Nintendo Switch on April 20, 2022.

The 2008 action-adventure Star Wars game developed by LucasArts will be coming to the Nintendo Switch. As a port of the Wii version, it will include unique modes like two-player multiplayer duels between iconic Jedi and Sith characters.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed tells an original story in the Star Wars universe. Galen aka Starkiller, Darth Vader's apprentice. Players are able to make certain choices that lead them towards the Dark side or the Light.

Star Wars: Force Unleased focused heavily on force powers and they are on full display in Force Unleased, something we praised in our review. You can read IGN's original Star Wars: The Force Unleashed review here.

Since the release of Force Unleased, Star Wars games have adopted a licensing system. EA oversaw much of the Star Wars games developed in the 2010s, but Disney has since spread the wealth with new Star Wars games in the works at Quanatic Dream.

Meanwhile, EA will continue to make Star ars games including a sequel to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.
