Star Wars: Bounty Hunter Re-Release Includes New Boba Fett Skin

Highlights

  • Aspyr Media grants fans’ wish to play as Boba Fett in the Star Wars: Bounty Hunter re-release by completing the campaign.
  • Enhanced textures, lighting effects, and a flashlight feature are introduced in the upcoming re-release of Star Wars: Bounty Hunter.

As a long-time Star Wars gamer and avid collector of classic games, I couldn’t contain my excitement when I heard the news about Aspyr Media’s re-release of Star Wars: Bounty Hunter with Boba Fett as a playable character. You see, I remember vividly playing the original game back in 2002 and being disappointed that the rumor of unlocking Boba Fett wasn’t true. The thought of finally getting to play as one of my favorite Star Wars characters after all these years is simply thrilling!

In the upcoming restoration of the beloved “Star Wars” game, “Star Wars: Bounty Hunter,” gamers will have the opportunity to assume the role of Boba Fett. This announcement is reminiscent of a deceitful Easter egg from the initial version of the game, where fans were led to believe they could play as Boba Fett if they met certain conditions. However, this was actually a false promise. Instead, players will finally get to experience the thrill of being the legendary bounty hunter firsthand.

Aspyr Media is known for bringing back classic older titles of the “Star Wars” series for newer consoles. Their latest project was compiling the first two “Star Wars: Battlefront” games into one package, named the “Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection.” Now, Aspyr Media intends to revive another game from the past – “Star Wars: Bounty Hunter,” released in 2002. This action-adventure title follows Jango Fett, a formidable bounty hunter, on his mission to capture a dangerous Dark Jedi. Originally, players were promised an unlockable feature that allowed them to play as Boba Fett, but it never materialized. Aspyr Media aims to make good on this missed opportunity and implement it in the game.

According to Aspyr’s announcement, fans can now play as Boba Fett in the updated version of “Star Wars: Bounty Hunter” by finishing the game in its re-release. In the original edition, there was a hidden message in Aurebesh within a pixelated image that said, “Complete all bounties to become Boba.” However, this promise went unrewarded, leaving devoted “Star Wars” followers longing for the chance to embody the legendary bounty hunter. In his blog post, Bashaar shares that Aspyr has brought this Easter egg to fruition, allowing players to don a Boba Fett costume upon completing the campaign, finally fulfilling the age-old rumor from over two decades ago.

As an excited fan, I’d express it this way: I’m thrilled that Boba Fett isn’t the only new addition to Star Wars: Bounty Hunter. When Aspyr announced its re-release, I was already looking forward to hunting bounties as the legendary bounty hunter. But now, there are even more reasons to get excited! The game boasts improved environmental textures and lighting effects that bring the galaxy to life in a whole new way. And let’s not forget about the handy flashlight feature, ensuring no dark corner escapes my scrutiny. Aspyr Media obviously put thought into enhancing this re-release for fans like me. With the launch date just around the corner, I can hardly contain my anticipation!

Aspyr Media hasn’t had a flawless history with the Star Wars franchise, as demonstrated by the rocky development process of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic’s remake under their management. However, the upcoming release of Star Wars: Bounty Hunter is generating positive feedback, and the addition of Boba Fett as a playable character suggests good news for Star Wars fans eager to rediscover an old favorite when it releases on August 1.
