the future of starwars in video games has been uncertain in recent times. Not because no more games are going to be made, but because Lucasfilm Games already warned that they were open to more studios taking advantage of such a license, dominated by EA in recent years.
Although it was indicated that the fan opened, from the brand it was indicated that EA continued with several Star Wars projects on going. Today, we already have several clues about what they were referring to, thanks to the latest statement from the publisher.
Respawn Entertainment will be the main leaders of up to three new video games based on Star Wars. Studio founder Vince Zampella will be spearheading everything that happens on the dev teams and here’s what we know so far about what they’re about.
- A sequel to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, directed by Stig Asmussen. They do not confirm that it continues directly seen in the first game.
- A new FPS under the direction of Peter Hirschmann, executive producer of the original Star Wars: Battlefront.
- A strategy game which Respawn produces, but will be developed by Bit Reactor. This is a new studio made up of former XCOM developers.
“We’re excited to continue working with the extremely talented developers at Respawn,” said Douglas Reilly, vice president of Lucasfilm Games. Emphasizing the fact that this relationship is far from broken, the vice president of Walt Disney Games, Sean Shoptaw, wanted to highlight “trust and mutual respectthat both parties share.
No further details have been revealed about when we may see the release of some of these games. Meanwhile, the open world title of Star Wars developed by Ubisoft Massive continues.
