A little less than a month ago, we were all in awe when Lucasfilm Games has decided to announce a new game based on the universe of Star Wars which will be developed by Ubisoft, precisely from the studio he dealt with The Division, and that it will be an entirely free-roaming project. Immediately the hype went through the roof also given the excellent titles that have arrived in recent years and that have touched various genres of games. However, those who hope to be able to put their hand to it as soon as possible will have to change their mind immediately. According to the CEO's words Yves Guillemot, the new Star Wars title is still in its early stages.
We are very happy to partner with Lucasfilm Games again. The project will be aided by our Massive studio who will make the most of their cutting-edge technology, including the Snowdrop engine, to deliver a groundbreaking Star Wars adventure. We are very proud of this collaboration, which is a testament to Ubisoft's leadership and expertise, particularly in creating extraordinary works. It's another demonstration of our ability to build partnerships with the biggest names in the entertainment and tech industry. We are still working out many details on what the game will be like.
Several times, during a question session, the CEO did not want to say a word about a possible launch window, reiterating how the project is still immature. There are those who hypothesize not before 2023, year in which the exclusive agreement between Electronic Arts e Disney it will cease, thus allowing Ubisoft not to interfere and play their cards.
According to one editor, Massive's new Star Wars game is:
A story-based open-world experience within the Star Wars galaxy that will also utilize the studio's cutting-edge technology and advancements, including the Snowdrop engine. They want to take what is familiar and resonant about Star Wars and tell the stories of new characters who have their own motives and interests.
