Nearly 25 years after its original release, Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles is coming to modern consoles.
Aspyr has been the studio responsible for re-releasing several classic Star Wars games to the current generation of consoles as well as PC, including Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Star Wars: Bounty Hunter, and Star Wars: Battlefront. Now, the company is revealing that its next revival title will be Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles.
Below is a recent trailer that came out.
The game loosely retells the events that unfolded during Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace. It stars Jedi Master Qui-Gonn Jinn and his apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi as they journey through an adventure facing off against the Trade Federation’s deadly battle droids in an attempt to save the planet Naboo from conquest. One of the main differences between the film and the game is that there are additional characters to use.

Mace Windu, Plo Koon, and Adi Gallia are returning alongside unlockable characters like Queen Padme Amidala, Captain Panaka, Ki-Adi Mundi, a battle droid, and even Darth Maul. Another tweak to the game will give Jedi Masters–including Mace Windu–the chance to have on-screen-accurate lightsaber colors or the standard lightsaber colors that originally came with the game.
The announcement trailer also demonstrates the game’s Big Head Mode, as well as other cheats that can be used. Co-op gameplay is an option, but players can also face each other in the game’s Versus mode.
Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles will hit Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on January 23, 2025.
