Millennium Falcon: Run smugglers was a reference time for Walt Disney Imagineering when it opened in 2019. It was the first Disney promenade that allowed guests directly control their experience and interact with the story. But for the next smugglers’ mission, the company will go one step further and make the promenade feel much more A traditional video gameComplete with branching options and sophisticated enemies.
WDI worked closely with Visual Effects Studio Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) on the first smugglers mission, with the latter using the Epic Games 4 UNREAL engine to create the high fidelity graphics that make you feel as part of an exciting intergalactic. Disney’s relationship with Epic goes back to several years, when Lucasfilm decided to use an unreal engine to build virtual sets The mandalià TV show.
To prepare for the new promenade’s new updates, ILM has gone from the EU4 to Unreal engine 5.
“For the first mission, we associated with a third -party game developer who helped us create the game code and then UNREAL FEST 2025.
“Now for the second mission, we do everything with our Lucasfilm partners. So Industrial Light & Magic is producing the assets of the game. Immersive ilm (formerly known as Ilmxlab) does the game program a whole much faster together.”
Millennium Falcon: The smugglers run to Disneyland and Walt Disney World puts you into control of the iconic Corellian ship of Star Wars films. There are three papers to choose from (each fitting up to two people) in the cabin: pilots, artillers and engineers. Pilots maneuver the boat and are responsible for jumping to Hyperspace, artillers attack enemy fighters and engineers help repair the boat and shoot the harpoons to steal the load.
Get galactic credits (which serve as the highest score of your computer) to complete your target and you can increase this amount based on the good you do as a team. Your performance will vary every time you are going through, but otherwise the original mission story is strictly linear. The second mission, which was previously announced by Disney, would star in Mandalori and his adorable son of Force Grogua, will offer much more reproduction.
In this new experience, they are sent to the Tatooine Planet Desert to capture a group of ex-imperial officers and pirates, and because this is a reward hunting mission, command and their child will help your crew to keep track of them. At one point during persecution your engineers will have to do A critical decision As for the reward of chasing: You will visit the city of Cloud in Bespin, the accident of the death of death II near Endor or the metropolis of Coruscant.
“So every time you go to Mission Two, you will have the opportunity to have a completely different branch experience,” Kalama said. “And then within each of the same environments, we have worked with our partners ILM to develop levels that have more branching (roads) so that, even if you return to the same destination, there is a new route or new secrets to discover.”
He also said that development teams are “increasing the intelligence” of links in this new mission in terms of the evasive that can be and where and how often they are reappeared.
These new ambitious functions are now possible that ILM works with UE5. The team is also updated the computers attached to each of the Millennium Falcon cockpits with the state -of -the -art graphic cards and graphic cards (each computer has eight GPU).
“We are excited about the additional head room we have, because there were many functions or stretching goals in terms of visual fidelity that we finally had to mark in order to perform this performance,” said Kalama. “But we are also very excited to have much more dynamic destruction, and this is something we really felt we were a little more limited to the previous version of the engine.”
Star Wars Visitors: Galaxy’s Edge will have to wait until May 22, 2026 to try the new smuggle The mandalià and the yellow Movie in theaters.
