Lucasfilm Games and Ubisoft’s Massive Entertainment partner up for a new Star Wars game
- Thread starter --R
- Start date
This is good. EA has not done nearly enough with that - getting it over to Massive is great. Their engine is also excellent.
Oh yeah finally !!
Please be good, even if first infos are not what I expected (Julian Gerighty, director of The Division 2 and The Crew, will serve as the game's creative director)
Finally tbh. EA can keep working on some of the succesful series (Jedi, Battlefront if they feel like it), but at least we'll get more devs now, which is good considering how dissapointing EA's output has been.
Interesting to see Massive Entertaining tackling on two third party IPs (Avatar and SW) for Ubisoft. I'm honestly really curious to see what they'll do.

Star Wars finally free of EA, that's great.
Looks like Lucasfilm Games is pulling a Marvel Games.

This is possibly the best course of action when it comes to licensed games where multiple parties can have cracks at different IP instead of one singular publisher hogging the rights. We have Marvel to thank for this.
Oooh, exclusivity deal seems to be dead.
Come on, team up with Microsoft and Obsidian for a new Star Wars RPG.

Why does it have to be cinematic?
They have at least two teams, one on Avatar and one on Division (probably Star Wars now)
As long as Fallen Order continues I'm good with expanding the partners that Disney uses.
This is what you get for cancelling Uncharted Star Wars, EA.

Hopefully this is a standard single-player game and not Division-esque. Interested how long this will take to come out in comparison to the Avatar game
Hopefully it's not just a typical Ubisoft game with a Star Wars skin. But I still remain hopefully it could be something neat.
Edit: Ah I didn't think this game is most likely releasing after the EA contract expires.

Ubisoft? Can't say I'm excited, but we'll see. Also, I suppose the fact that the game would release in like 3 years or so is what allows them to be working on it, circumventing the 10 years EA talked about (I know the article mentions EA didn't reply about that).
Fuck, I'm really not a fan of how Ubisoft's open world plays and Fallen Order was one of my favorite games this gen. That bums me out.
Gotta clear the 1000 bandit camps or forts on the map that's way too big.
I guess this will come out after the EA deal expires, so they can announce it in the meantime. It's definitely a loud statement that the EA deal will not be renewed. Which is great, assuming that we can get a Fallen Order sequel from EA as well as games from Massive and others.
Sounds to me more like they are allowing more companies to develop games under the license.
I want a mission based (like Dishonered) bounty hunter game made by Arkane. That would be a dream come true.
Massive Entertainment, probably a hard-discount tier.
Prediction: Large environments, great graphics, decent gameplay looter-shooter. Cons: shipping in early-access state, PVP just for the tickbox, story irrelevant.

Damn. The dam has burst and Lucasfilm is just announcing games left and right. I think this is the best option because they get to pick and choose projects to greenlight and we get to have more games based on their IPs. The exclusivity thing is dumb because there is only so many games alone publisher can pump out.
