May the 4th come to GOG.com!

Star Wars Day™ is near, a time when the world comes together to celebrate the long, long history of a galaxy far, far away. And so it is, once again we combine forces with Lucasfilm and Disney to join in on upcoming May the 4th celebrations the way we know best: with new releases, a classic Digital Premiere, and peecha chakka no wookie boonowa tweepi Saleo. Ho, ho, ho, hooo.



What do we have in store this week?



-- <span class="bold">Star Wars: Rebel Assault I &amp; II</span> - a new digital premiere. The famous live-action, FMV rail shooter returns - blast through the ranks of the Galactic Empire, revisit familiar movie locations, and experience the rebel assault. Both of the classic titles come in one DRM-free package for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux!



-- Collector's CD-ROM editions of: <span class="bold">Star Wars&trade; X-Wing</span> and <span class="bold"><span class="bold">Star Wars&trade; TIE-Fighter</span></span>. The space-flight simulators finally become complete exclusively on GOG.com. The Collectors Edition, often considered the absolute re-release, combines upgraded graphics with the classic MUSE sound system, and a refined flight engine. It's a free upgrade to all of you that own it, and comes with every new purchase as well.




-- <span class="bold">Star Wars: Jedi Knight II - Jedi Outcast</span> and <span class="bold">Star Wars: Jedi Knight - Jedi Academy</span> now on GOG.com. Are these the best lightsaber swingin', force-pushin' simulators ever made? Search your feelings, you know it to be true.




-- Two big bundles, with every remaining Star Wars™ game on GOG.com:
<span class="bold">Blaster Bundle</span> - with 7 titles including the upgraded Star Wars X-Wing & TIE-Fighter series, and more Lucasfilm games brought back into the digital world from old CDs and dusty floppy disks.
<span class="bold">Saber Bundle</span> - with 10 games at a flat 77% off, including Star Wars Battlefront II, Knights of the Old Republic I & II, the two Dark Forces games, and our two new completely new releases: Star Wars: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast & Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy.

Grab your blaster, wield your saber, and celebrate the days counting down to May the 4th with us! The entire shebang will last until Thursday, May 7, 6:59 AM GMT.

cal74: For any GOG staff reading this, you did a great job clarifying the situation on the X-Wing page (by updating the description and adding a note at the top of every review) but it looks like it has not been done for TIE Fighter since there are no references to the 1995 in the description and no note in the reviews.

Since the first review is mainly complaining about the lack of Collector's CD-ROM Edition, it might be a good idea to update that page.
We're working on it :)

hurvl: But I already got all the Star Wars games from The Star Wars Humble Bundle, although I haven't tried any of them yet. So you see, your little sale is no match for the power of the Backlog!

Still, it has plenty of nice deals for other people.

Darth Vader: If you only knew the power of the GoG sale.
The Emperor: And now, young Skywallet, you will die!
You don't have the Collector's Editions CD-ROMs for X-Wing and TIE Fighter in the Humble versions though :P

vanchann: The whole bundle is 37% off, but the discount is not flat. A half of the games included are 50% off. From the OP:
"Blaster Bundle - with 7 games up to 50% off"

The discount is not tempting for me, but I want only one game from the "Blaster Bundle" anyway.
I'm going to buy the "Saber Bundle" the next days though.

mothwentbad: Wow, that's really dumb and meaningless. You can't get anything 50% off a la carte. It's either X% individually, or 37% of the whole. There is no 50% off any individual item in any meaningful sense. It's the dumbest marketing I've seen in a while.
Sorry about the confusion. We wrote "up to 50%" because several of the games are 50% off when you get the whole bundle. We picked the highest discount, since there is no flat %-off across the whole bundle for us to list. Your discount might not be 37% if you already own some of the games, or it might even be 50% if you own everything but select titles. It's kind of a tough nut to communicate.

Anyway, we got rid of the percentages on the front page, and the Newspost won't mention the weird discount either. That should be a lot less misleading, and the promo page will speak for itself. ;)

zeo: Just bought the Sabre Bundle :)

Does anyone know why Dark Forces II is not supported in GOG Galaxy? Is it because of the DLC?
It should now. Please restart the client and check again.
