EA has just announced that a brand new 3rd person action adventure game set in the Star Wars universe is being developed by the Titanfall development team — Respswan Entertainment.
The news comes on no better day than May the 4th, the official Star Wars Day, where Patrick Söderlund, Executive Vice President of EA Studios announce had this to say:
Over the past few years, I’ve had the opportunity to spend a lot of time with Vince Zampella and his group. Their obsession with making games that feel amazing has helped make Titanfall one of the most successful new game launches of this generation. And now, with a new team led by Stig Asmussen, we get to see what they can do when you combine that great attention to gameplay with the power of Star Wars.There’s never been a better time to be a Star Wars fan. The passion we’re seeing for Star Wars from gamers – whether they’ve been along for the ride since Star Wars™: Episode IV: A New Hope™, or were introduced to the magic of Star Wars with Star Wars™: The Force Awakens™ – is fueling our development teams and our partners to create unique interactive extensions of this deep, meaningful universe. As a game maker, nothing is more exciting.
Söderlund also goes on to mention that Respawn joins the growing team of developers that are currently working on new Star Wars projects like Visceral Games, DICE, Capital Games, BioWare, Motive and more.
Not much detail about what the game will be about, but perhaps at E3 2016 we will get more details. Let us know in the comments below if you're excited about a new 3rd person action-adventure Star Wars game!
