14 DAY TRIAL // Electronic Arts has just confirmed one of its most prolific studios, Respawn Entertainment is currently working on three unannounced Star Wars games. Best known for their work on Apex Legends, Titanfall, and Start Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Respawn is leading the development and production of the new projects, working in collaboration with other studios.
Most important is that EA confirmed the studio is already working on the next game in the action-adventure Star Wars Jedi series, which is expected to drop later this year. Game Director Stig Asmussen and his team at the studio are joined by two new teams working to deliver additional unique Star Wars gameplay experiences across multiple genres, EA announced.
For example, Game Director Peter Hirschmann and his team at Respawn are leading the development of an all-new Star Wars first-person shooter. The third title is a Star Wars strategy game developer through a production collaboration with the newly formed studio Bit Reactor, which is led by games industry veteran Greg Foerstch.
“We are excited to continue working with the superbly talented developers at Respawn. They have demonstrated excellence in telling epic Star Wars stories along with best-in-class gameplay across different genres and we are looking forward to bringing more amazing experiences to the galaxy far, far away,” said Douglas Reilly, VP, Lucasfilm Games.
EA points out that all three titles are in active development and that Respawn is looking for talent to join the teams: “We are huge fans of Star Wars here at Respawn and we’re thrilled to work with Lucasfilm Games on new titles that we have wanted to make for years. If you want to make great Star Wars games, you should come join us on our journey.”
Although the sequel to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is expected to be released later this year, the other two projects are likely years away, so we don’t expect any official news for a while.
