Lucasfilm Is Developing a New STAR WARS Game with UNCHARTED Director Amy Hennig
Lucasfilm Games is teaming up with Skydance New Media and Uncharted director Amy Hennig to develop a new Star Wars video game. As of right now, the game has no title, release date, or story details, but it’s described as being a "narrative-driven, action-adventure game featuring an original story."
Lucasfilm Games VP Douglas Reilly said in a statement, "We couldn’t be more thrilled to be working again with Amy. She and the Skydance New Media team have the talent and ambition to create a unique Star Wars adventure. Their vision for making narrative driven and engaging interactive entertainment makes this collaboration very exciting. We’re working hard with their team of experienced and talented developers, and we’re looking forward to sharing more with Star Wars fans when the time is right."
Hennig, who is also president of Skydance New Media added, "I’ve often described how seeing Star Wars in 1977 essentially rewired my 12-year-old brain, shaping my creative life and future indelibly. I’m elated to be working with Lucasfilm Games again to tell interactive stories in this galaxy that I love."
Skydance New Media was formed by Hennig and former EA executive Julian Beak in 2019, and their goal was to produce "high-fidelity, richly interactive experiences." Their first project is a "narrative-driven, blockbuster action-adventure" game based on an original Marvel story. So this Star Wars game is their next big project.
It’ll be cool to see what this new Star Wars project ends up being!
