After Nearly 18 Million Downloads, Stars Wars Commander Gets Biggest-Ever Expansion

Disney Interactive has regularly updated its popular mobile game Star Wars Commander with new content ever since its launch last year, and that continues today with a major expansion called Worlds in Conflict.

It's the largest update to the game, which is closing in on 18 million downloads, to date. Previously released updates have introduced new storylines, characters such as Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker, and even zombies. But Worlds in Conflict goes even further.

Worlds in Conflict adds a "brand new design" for the game overall and introduces the Galactic Map. This feature, the top fan request according to Disney, lets players relocate to and battle across all manner of famous Star Wars locations, including Hoth, Yavin IV, Dandoran, and Er'kit.

New Planetary Conflicts are available for Commander's PvP, while players can also take on new missions and claim additional victory bonuses along the way. At the bottom of this post, you'll find a rundown of the top new features for Commander delivered through the Worlds in Conflict update, written by Disney.

But first, check out a video for Worlds in Conflict.
