Today, EA announced that Respawn Entertainment is the project lead for three upcoming Star Wars video games, allegedly in the works. In collaboration with Lucasfilm Games, Respawn Entertainment is tasked to develop all-new world-class gaming experiences set in the Star Wars galaxy. This cannot be a coincidence since the success of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is unmeasurable and off the roof, so entrusting such a project to Respawn Entertainment is not a mistake.
“Respawn Entertainment, best known for their work on Apex Legends™, Titanfall™ and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order™, is leading the development and production of these new projects. Vince Zampella, Group GM and Founder of Respawn, will oversee this new phase of EA’s relationship with Lucasfilm, building on Respawn’s award-winning history in game development and expertise in telling compelling Star Wars stories.”
The Jedi Fallen Order sequel is an interesting prospect, with Respawn’s undoubted FPS pedigree. But it will be single-player-focused rather than Battlefront style, which means it will follow its roots proficiently.
“Working with Lucasfilm Games on a new FPS in the Star Wars galaxy is a dream come true for me, as this is a story I have always wanted to tell,” said Peter Hirschmann, game director at Respawn. Peter previously worked as VP of development at LucasArts, and was executive producer on the original Star Wars Battlefront games. Hirschmann and the team at Respawn have just begun work on the title.
Last but not least, Respawn Entertainment is looking for talent in order for these three projects to come to life. For more info on that one, make sure you check their official Careers Page.
