Right now, there is no YouTube trailer for the game. Bethesda did however share the teaser above on Twitter.
This game is being developed by MachineGames, which are known for the recent Wolfenstein games, including Wolfenstein: The New Order and Wolfenstein: The New Colossus that released in 2014 and 2017 respectively. These are some of the best shooters on Xbox right now. Bethesda Softworks is publishing the game in partnership with Lucasfilm Games, a new part of Disney that works to collaborate with different developers on Lucasfilm properties.
Lucasfilm Games VP Douglas Reilly said that Todd Howard of Bethesda approached Disney with a pitch that had unique vision and a unique passion.

Big publishers hoping Hollywood delivers their next blockbuster hit might be smart business or just another fad. In either case, it feels like an ominous sign of creative surrender just months into the next console cycle.

Star Wars name on the galactic gaming horizon, and it appears to be greeting a whole new universe of future titles set in the galaxy far, far away (as well as some other George Lucas-created places).
Nearly two years after quietly reviving the Lucasfilm Games banner, Disney finally made some noise this week to share an early peek at some of the on-screen reasons why. After showing off a revamped logo and teasing that future game projects would all fall under the Lucasfilm Games umbrella, the studio revealed a pair of upcoming games with Lucasfilm roots: an open-world

Jan. 13 The Star Wars universe is about to open up in a massive way in the video game industry.
In 2012, after Disney bought Lucasfilm for $4.05 billion, the Mouse House shut down LucasArts, the video game division of Lucasfilm. Just a year later, Disney announced it had signed a 10-year exclusivity deal with Electronic Arts to make Star Wars games for consoles and PC.
StarWars.com announced Monday that all future Star Wars titles would be released under the Lucasfilm Games brand, which actually was the original name of LucasArts until the early 1990s. But it didn’t explain what that really meant.
