Sigurlina Ingvarsdottir LinkedInDid you know? Star Wars Battlefront has a female senior producer

Star Wars has been the buzz word of the week and that’s no different when it comes to games. The Star Wars Battlefront game trailer dropped last week and the first developer diary video hit on Monday, so it’s flooding all my feeds.

Regardless of the movie, the mobile game from Bandai Namco Entertainment may be worth a peek. The game will take heroic Arcaders from the film to defeat aliens before they destroy the world and will include PAC-MAN, Q*bert, and Frogger along with other iconic game characters from the 80s.
