In case you missed it, Aspyr is reviving the 2003 game Star Wars: Bounty Hunter next week on 1st August. Ahead of the game's return on the Nintendo Switch, the developer has revealed the new Boba Fett skin.
The story behind this skin was recently explained on the PlayStation Blog by Apsyr's director of Product Chris Bashaar. In brief, there was a low-resolution message in the original game written in Aurebesh - "Cash in all bounties to play as Boba". Even if you did this, there was no unlock at the end.
Now, the team has "brought this easter egg to life", and when you complete the game's campaign you'll be able to equip a "new Boba Fett skin for the next playthrough". You can learn more about Star Wars: Bounty Hunter in the original announcement.
Will you be checking out this game on release? Let us know in the comments.

This is a tough one for me, because I played it back in the day and it was... Pretty good?
Also, the Jango Fett story just hasn't aged well for me, I guess. Basically everything in Star Wars is all because of Jango and Anakin and the most important bits were all tied to Tattooine.
I liked the big unanswered questions that the original movies left, and this game story-wise just added even more unnecessary plot.
I always felt this game was passable and maybe a weekend rental, and was popular just because of the license. If it wasn't tied into Star Wars I doubt anyone would be remaking it today.
Don't know if I will buy. Bought the ps4 re-release years ago and controls sucked. This new one is meant to have better control schemes but it's made by aspyr so I don't know if it'll be trash. Already bought kotor 2 and battlefront off them so I don't have the greatest hope for it.
This game was good but trying to 100% it by getting all bounties can be quite a chore. I remember if you accidentally killed a bounty you were supposed to bring in alive you basically had to redo the whole level. Plus the camera use to give me motion sickness. It was awful.
@Truegamer79 yeah I was worried about the camera too, it looks like they've added better control layout, they probably would have tweaked the camera too.
That's a cool addition, fingers crossed this version of the game will be overall good (hope Nintendo Life will review it if possible)!
Great to see they're putting some love into this project. I loved this game back on the GameCube, so I'm kinda biased and likely to buy it.
There's no way it changes your guns though right?
After buying the Battlefront Collection, I won't be giving Aspyr anymore of my money any time soon.
