Sounds like Respawn is working on a lot ofStar Wars
Respawn Entertainment is heading up some significantStar Warsdevelopment. The studio behindStar Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, as well asApex LegendsandTitanfall, is working on three newStar Warsgames.
One is a follow-up to 2019’sStar Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Alongside that action-adventure sequel, Respawn is also working on an untitled first-person shooter in theStar Warsuniverse. It’s being helmed by Peter Hirschmann, director ofMedal of Honor: Above and Beyond. He’s also a former VP of development at LucasArts, and was executive producer on the firstStar Wars Battlefront.
And third, the team is partnering with Bit Reactor to make a strategy game. Bit Reactor is a newly formed studio, withveterans from Firaxiswho have worked on theXCOMseries. Respawn will produce the game, while Bit Reactor leads development. All of this will be overseen by Group GM and Respawn founder Vince Zampella, in partnership with Lucasfilm Games.
“We are huge fans ofStar Warshere at Respawn and we’re thrilled to work with Lucasfilm Games on new titles that we have wanted to make for years,” said Zampella intoday’s announcement. “If you want to make greatStar Warsgames, you should come join us on our journey.”
No more specifics are available yet, as far as platforms, release window, or more than the general goal for these three projects. With the success ofFallen Orderthough, it seems likeStar Warshas found a new home at Respawn.
This could mean bad news for otherStar Warsefforts at Electronic Arts, though.GamesBeat’s Jeff Grubb reportsthatBattlefront 3isn’t happening, and all EA’sStar Warsdevelopment is moving to Respawn. DICE, according to Grubb, is still dealing with tuningBattlefield 2042.
