Star Wars Galaxies Death Troopers Update Coming Soon

If there's any game I would have never expected to jump onto the zombie bandwagon, it's Star Wars Galaxies. But apparently that's exactly what's going to happen in October.
Star Wars Galaxies, the popular massively-multiplayer online game from Sony Online Entertainment and LucasArts, is introducing a quest series into the game this Fall based on the recently announced Random House novel Death Troopers. The Death Troopers series of adventures will mark the first time that the Star Wars Galaxies game has introduced content inspired by a current novel and given gamers and Star Wars fans the chance to live out these adventures together online. Players will be able to join together to fight horrific new enemies with a frightening affliction.

Star Wars Galaxies offers players the chance to become part of the Star Wars universe by creating a character in-game based on one of eight Star Wars species. Player characters pursue adventure, fame and rewards by building power within their chosen profession, which includes Jedi, bounty hunter, smuggler, officer, trader, entertainer and others that fans have seen portrayed by characters in the movie series.
