While there’s very little information out in the universe about the game yet, here’s what we know:
- It’s a 3rd-person, action adventure game set in the Star Wars universe.
- It’s being created with Respawn Entertainment, who are responsible for ‘Titanfall’.
- ‘God of War”s Stig Asmussen is spearheading the project, and promised to “pay respect to the Star Wars legacy at all times.”
Söderlund: “There’s never been a better time to be a Star Wars fan. The passion we’re seeing for Star Wars from gamers is fuelling our development teams and our partners to create unique interactive extensions of this deep, meaningful universe. As a game maker, nothing is more exciting.”
