SEOUL, Korea – May 4, 2017 Netmarble Games Corp., the fastest-growing mobile game company in Asia, today announced that Star Wars™: Force Arena is introducing its “May the Fourth,” update celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Star Wars franchise.

With the update, two new character cards including 40th Anniversary Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader were added into the game. Both 40th Anniversary characters are unique cards and includes a mission which will reward players with top tier legendary card packs.

Today’s update comes with various events and giveaways as 25% percent will be added to crystal purchases within the store. Various check-in events are available including a ‘first time log in event’ that gives away the 40th Anniversary Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader character cards, and a seven day long check-in event that gives away diamonds, credits and card packs. A “hot time event” which doubles the gold while playing during a designated time period will be available two times a day. A 40th Anniversary event will give out a legendary Luke Skywalker or Darth Vader when completing the given mission within the given time frame.

“To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Star Wars franchise, we introduced two very special card packs and a new system called wild cards,” said Seungwon Lee, Chief Global Officer of Netmarble Games. “Players can now join the game and take advantage of the various events and leverage the wild card feature to swap cards out for the one they really want in Star Wars™: Force Arena.”
