Star Wars will be the future of Respawn.
Electronic Arts And Lucasfilm Games announce a broad collaboration with Respawn Entertainment, responsible of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order And Apex Legends. The studio is working on three games based on the Star Wars license.
In particular, the company aims at very specific genres and proposals. The first of these will be to continue working on the Star Wars Jedi franchise. After Fallen Order, Stig Asmussen and his team are already outlining “a new action adventure”. In this sense, it has not been confirmed at the moment whether it is a direct sequel to the adventure starring Cal Kestis, or if, on the contrary, it will delve into other stories.
The second project revealed leads them to what they do best: shooters. Directed by Peter Hirschmann, historically linked to Star Wars, Respawn will give life to “an unprecedented first person shooter”. The works, according to the company, have just begun. “Working with Lucasfilm Games on a new FPS in the Star Wars galaxy is a dream come true, as it’s a story I’ve always wanted to tell,” reads a statement. Among his accomplishments is being an executive producer on the two original Star Wars Battlefronts.
The third and last project is a strategy game resulting from the collaboration with Bit Reactor, a recently formed studio. The team will be led by Greg Foerstch, an industry veteran and an early member of Firaxis Games. In this case Respawn will act as a producer.
“We are thrilled to continue working with Respawn’s incredibly talented developers“said Douglas Reilly, vice president of Lucasfilm Games.”They have demonstrated excellence in telling epic Star Wars stories, as well as their world-class gameplay across multiple genres. We look forward to bringing more extraordinary experiences to the galaxy far, far away“.
