Codenamed “Bruno” during development, the game embraces a squad-based, isometric design reminiscent of classic turn-based tactical titles. The leaked images showcase a tense mission featuring two Mandalorian characters and a tactical droid engaged in a firefight with Stormtroopers during a prisoner extraction. The UI highlights various combat tools, including thermal detonators and deployable mini-droids, alongside early menu prototypes and a central hub called the Kafrene Mining Colony. Hub activities include the Armory, Holo Table, Special Ops, and Black Market—suggesting deep strategic customization and mission planning.

While official details on supported platforms remain unconfirmed, the game is widely expected to launch on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, with a possible Nintendo Switch 2 version under consideration. Below all the screens available.
