News has just broken that EA’s exclusive arrangement with Disney to create games based around the Star Wars franchise has come to an end. Today Ubisoft has announced that it will be making a title in a galaxy far far away.
More specifically Malmo-based Massive Entertainment, creator of The Division and its sequel, will be taking the reins. The title is described as a “story-driven, open-world video game.” And although that description could cover almost anything these days, it does mean that we’re not purely looking at a games-as-a-service style battle royale.
Creative Director for the game, Massive’s Julian Gerighty said: “This is a lore that we love, and we want to do it justice with a game and story that bring both lifelong and new fans on an immersive and outstanding journey that will stay with them for years.”
