“We’re really excited about an opportunity to work with the team at Massive, led by David Polfeldt and the creative director, Julian Gerighty. “We’ve got a lot of stuff we’re ready to start sharing with fans, because we’ve been working quietly behind the scenes for a while now, waiting for this moment.” Last month, Lucasfilm Games VP Douglas Reilly shared a bit about the plans for the new game and for the broader picture of the rebranded studio during the previous announcement: Expect the new Star Wars game to be cradled in there somewhere, meaning you should not expect to see anything at all for at least a few years.
Avatar 2 - 5 are supposed to release over the course of the 2020s, with Avatar 2 arriving Decemand Avatar 5 arriving in the far-off, futuristic, jetpack-friendly 2028. With only shaky release dates to go on for the often-delayed Avatar sequels, which one imagines Cameron et al would want to coincide with the release of the game, Star Wars fans will be waiting some time for this one. But they also mentioned that Massive Entertainment's ongoing work on The Avatar Project, the game adaptation of James Cameron's Avatar franchise, would be arriving before the new Star Wars game. That's all the same the difference now is that we know we'll likely be waiting a long, long time before getting our hands on whatever this open-world game ends up being.ĭuring the earnings call, captured in part by CNBC and many other news outlets, Ubisoft confirmed they are in "early stages" of development on the game. Few other details were available then or now, except to say that Ubisoft's studio Massive Entertainment (The Division franchise, The Avatar Project) would be developing the game using their existing Snowdrop engine. It was announced just under a month ago that Lucasfilm and Ubisoft would be collaborating on an open-world game set squarely within the vast and seemingly timeless Star Wars universe.
News out of Ubisoft's latest earnings call was pretty rosy for the gaming company's record-setting quarter, but not so much for fans who are looking forward to their untitled Star Wars game.
