Players can choose from three factions, weapon and item vendors, a dock for boarding ships, and a location where Hondo Ohnaka is present, voiced by the returning Jim Cummings.

However, leveling up and upgrading weapons can make the task easier.\n\nThe missions in the game include The Imperial Patrol, The Pirate Raid, The Pirate Hunt, The Heist, and The Reverse Robbery, with wild beasts also present on the planet. The game is set to be available on August 16, and it promises to be a fun experience with friends, with the added bonus of extending the theme park experience beyond Disneyland.",
