They’re here… two of the most chilling Star Wars villains of all are heading to Star Wars: Villainous in its newest expandalone game. In the Star Wars Villainous: Cold Tactics expansion, players can become Grand Admiral Thrawn and Count Dooku as they try to complete their evil aims. We can’t think of a more menacing dark side duo. Here’s what you need to know about Star Wars Villainous: Cold Tactics.

Star Wars Villainous: Cold Tactics Introduces Grand Admiral Thrawn and Count Dooku

Star Wars Villainous: Cold Tactics is the latest expandalone game in the Star Wars Villainous series. And its bringing two beloved villains into the fold. Grand Admiral Thrawn recently made the leap into live-action, with Lars Mikkelsen embodying the role he also voiced in Ahsoka. And with Ahsoka season two on the horizon, we have not doubt he’ll make his great return soon. But in the meantime, you can find him in Star Wars Villainous: Cold Tactics. Count Dooku, of course, is a Sith Lord not to be trifled with. Trained by Yoda himself, his thirst for power knows no boundaries.

Of course, the true question is, what will Grand Admiral Thrawn and Count Dooku’s mover game pieces look like? Well, pretty nifty if you ask us. Thrawn’s Star Wars Villainous: Cold Tactics piece is massive and a truly icy blue, much like the man himself. Count Dooku’s coppery game piece, meanwhile, evokes images of the Sith Lord on his speeder fleeing Obi-wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker through the E’Y-Akh Desert on Geonosis in Star Wars: Episode II—Attack of the Clones.

More About the Gameplay

A release shares of Star Wars Villainous: Cold Tactics, “In the Star Wars Villainous: Cold Tactics game, players will work towards their own sinister Objectives with a unique and immersive gameplay style inspired by their character’s motivations and stories throughout the Star Wars galaxy.”

And further adds of Cold Tactics‘ gamplay, “If players choose to play as Grand Admiral Thrawn, they will have to be efficient and unforgiving in their pursuit of taking over and controlling planets in the name of the Empire. To win, they must operate strategically in Thrawn’s sector and occupy each location by collecting artifacts, deploying the 7th Fleet, and using Ambition to flip the location over. Players who choose Count Dooku will need to lead the Separatist Movement and bring an end to the Galactic Republic and Jedi. Count Dooku will need to convince an Organization just how powerful he can be by defeating the Jedi to intimidate neutral Organizations into active Organizations at each location to fulfill his objective and stand alongside Darth Sidious as the true power of the galaxy!”

When Will Star Wars Villainous: Cold Tactics Release?

Occupation, ambition, and intimidation… Sounds like the dark side to us. Star Wars Villainous: Cold Tactics and all its Grand Admiral Thrawn and Count Dooku-goodness (or should we say badness) will release in stores nationwide starting August 1. A Target exclusive version of the game will include an exclusive sleeve and Grand Admiral Thrawn mover, featuring a pearlescent finish. The game will retail for $19.99 USD/$29.99 CAD.
