Star Wars: Jedi Challenges receive local multiplayer

If you ever wanted to fight your best bud in a headlong lightsaber match, then now is the right time as Lenovo and Disney add local multiplayer to their Augmented Reality (AR) Star Wars game, Star Wars: Jedi Challenges.

Star Wars: Jedi Challenges came out November of last year and features three distinct game modes: Lightsaber battles, Strategic, and Holochess (More info on each mode here). This time around, we get a new mode in the form of Lightsaber Versus Mode, which is the local multiplayer feature. As the name suggests, this lets two players go head-to-head in an augmented reality lightsaber duel. Of course, this would require players to have two sets of the game.

The whole set of Star Wars: Challenges (Mirage VR headset, Lightsaber, and needed accessories) is priced at Php 14,995USD 256INR 21,662EUR 243CNY 1,861 and is available at select local retailers (Villman, Silicon Valley, Gigahertz, DS Gadgets, and Select PC Express).
