Fans of Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles have a lot to celebrate today, as the classic PlayStation game has just been tapped for a re-release. Jedi Power Battles was a 2001 beat-em-up set amid the events of The Phantom Menace, with a decidedly lighthearted twist. Players could select from one of five characters (all Jedi from the prequel trilogy), and play through ten different levels that loosely followed the plot of the movie. With plenty of absurd cheats, classic platforming, and "what-if" scenarios through bonus and training levels, Jedi Power Battles was a classic of its era.
And now, it's coming back: Jedi Power Battles will be released for modern platforms, including PC, PS4, PS5, and Xbox consoles on January 23, 2025, according to a post on the official PlayStation Blog. A Switch release is planned to follow soon after, but no date has been announced for it just yet. The entirety of the PS1 original will be intact in the re-release, which will also come along with a host of new features, including some never before seen outside its Dreamcast port.
The re-release of Jedi Power Battles comes just...
