Star Wars: Rogue Squadron 3D will be available for free on PC for Amazon Prime Subscribers from May 4th, aka Star Wars Day.
Originally released in December 1998, just five months before The Phantom Menace hit theatres, Rogue Squadron is an arcade-style flight combat game, and the precursor to 2020’s Star Wars: Squadrons.
Set primarily between the original movie and its sequel The Empire Strikes Back, you play as Luke Skywalker — or more specifically as Luke’s X-wing fighter plane — and lead an elite squad against the Galactic Empire.
The game offers 16 missions across various familiar locations including Tatooine and Kessel. There’s also plenty to unlock including additional crafts with unique armaments and even a couple of secret bonus levels that allow you to experience iconic moments from the movies such as the Battle of Hoth.
Rogue Squadron was released more than 20 years ago and debuted on the Nintendo 64, so you will need to tolerate some gameplay elements that haven’t aged particularly gracefully. Don’t expect a next-gen experience similar to the recently-released Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.
However, Rogue Squadron 3D is a classic for a reason, and if you’re already an Amazon Prime member you should absolutely give it a try, especially when you can claim it without having to spend a single extra penny.
If you need to view Amazon Prime videos when you are on the move or in regions where there are restrictions, then using Amazon Prime with VPN may prove to be a viable solution. The use of a VPN may assist in keeping your connection secure and enable you to connect via a server located in a different country, although both Amazon Prime video availability and VPN availability may differ according to geographical locations.
Happy gaming!
