Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption - Development and Marketing

Development and Marketing

Forces of Corruption uses the same game engine (Alamo) as the original Star Wars: Empire at War computer game. Higher resolution textures for better graphics are included in the expansion, and larger maps (30% - 40% bigger) have been included.

Following the announcement of the game, Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption was shown at LucasArts' booth during E3 2006. A single player demo was made available, which featured a single tutorial-mission; the player had to corrupt the planet of Mandalore, establish a black market on Nal Hutta, and take over the planet of Kamino. The game was later released on October 24, 2006 in the USA. Following the release of Forces of Corruption, LucasArts and Petroglyph released the first patch for the game, which included many minor fixes.
