Renegade Squadron received a mixed reaction from the video gaming community. In contrast with previous titles in the series that require characters to have a set class, players in Renegade Squadron are able to build their character as they see fit. The game also features several types of multiplayer modes. The campaign is part of the now non- canonical Star Wars Legends continuity. The game's single-player campaign follows the eponymous Rebel Alliance covert ops unit Renegade Squadron and depicts various battles throughout the Galactic Civil War from their perspective, starting with their formation by Han Solo prior to the Battle of Yavin, and ending with the Battle of Endor, which marked the defeat of Galactic Empire.
Renegade Squadron was one of the first games available in a bundle pack with the newly released PSP redesign. It was released on Octoin North America and later in Australia and Europe, as a PlayStation Portable (PSP) exclusive. It is the third entry in the Star Wars: Battlefront series and the first handheld exclusive. Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron is a third-person shooter video game based on the Star Wars franchise.
