With EA shutting down Visceral Games in 2017, the new Star Wars game, written by former Uncharted screenwriter Amy Hennig, was canceled. But now Amy Henniger of Skydance New Media, a game studio owned by Mission Impossible producer Skydance Media, has started a new Star Wars game development.
Developed in collaboration with Skydance New Media and Lucasfilm Games, the new Star Wars game will itself be a narrative-driven action-adventure game with an original Star Wars storyline.
Amy Henniger says she often recounts how seeing Star Wars in 1977 changed her 12-year-old and shaped her creative career and future. She's excited to be working with Lucasfilm again to tell an interactive story in this galaxy she loves.
While this is certainly not a continuation of the star wars game code-named "Ragtag" of the EA that is stillborn, as a game screenwriter who has been deeply involved in star wars, this new Star Wars game may be a cinematic adventure.
