Ubisoft s Star Wars Game Should Focus on Jar Jar Binks and Gungans
Naboo in itself is a planet filled with RPG opportunities and one that Ubisoft could pull off.
You’ve no doubt heard the news, Ubisoft Massive announcing that it will be working with the newly announced Lucasfilm Games to create a brand-new
Star Wars game. And so far, details are incredibly scarce, which is no surprise. But we do know that creative director, Julian Gerighty has said it will be a story-driven, open-world game. And that got me thinking about all the many stories in the

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.

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.”
