The Evolve experience

The galaxy you remember.
None of the old limits.

Evolve goes beyond preservation. We have reimagined the systems underneath Star Wars Galaxies to make experimentation meaningful again.

01

Build without labels

Classless progression

Mix and match skills across more than twenty trees. Your build is defined by the expertise you earn—not a class selected at character creation.

02

Combat Evolved

A deeper combat system

CU-inspired depth meets level 90 content, rebuilt attributes, revitalized skill trees, and abilities created specifically for Evolve.

03

A world with history

The full galaxy, expanded

Build a city, master an economy, chase rare loot, explore the ground game, or launch into space. The sandbox is still yours.

Engineered forward

A legacy galaxy on a modern foundation.

Evolve is not simply adding content to an old stack. We are modernizing the technology underneath the experience so the game can look better, run better, and keep moving forward.
