We have a good news for gamers who love Star Wars series. Ubisoft-owned Massive Entertainment and Disney-owned Lucasfilm Games announced a new open-world Star Wars game.
This new game will be Disney’s first major non-EA Star Wars game in eight years.
“The vast Star Wars lore is an incredible source of inspiration for our teams,” Ubisoft co-founder and CEO Yves Guillemot said. “This is the beginning of a long-term collaboration with Disney and Lucasfilm Games, and we are pleased to be working hand-in-hand to build upon the incredible legacy of Lucasfilm to create a game that we know Star Wars fans will love.”
Julian Gerighty, director of The Division 2 and The Crew will be the creative director for the game. The game will use Massive’s Snowdrop engine.
We know that EA has exclusivity on Star Wars games for 10 years and the company still has that exclusivity for next 2 years. So, it is possible that the game will be launched after two years from now once the EA exclusivity agreement ends.
The way EA was handling Star Wars, it was important to bring other developers in the role.
