What you need to know
- Star Wars games are being rebranded under the Lucasfilm Games banner.
- This is set to begin a "new and unprecedented phase of creativity."
- Upcoming Star Wars games include Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga and a likely Jedi: Fallen Order sequel.
It's been eight years since Disney effectively shut down Lucasarts, and since then development on Star Wars games has been helmed by EA. Lucasfilm has now announced that all Star Wars games will be brought under one banner: Lucasfilm Games. Though it doesn't appear to be its own development studio — EA still has the exclusive licensing rights to Star Wars games until 2023 — the brand will collaborate with "with the finest studios across the industry" to create new Star Wars stories.
Per the announcement on starwars.com, "Lucasfilm Games is now the official identity for all gaming titles from Lucasfilm, a name that encompasses the company's rich catalog of video games and its eye toward the future."
The accompanying sizzle reel showcases games like Galaxy of Heroes, The Old Republic, Battlefront 2, Squadrons, Jedi: Fallen Order, and many more. We don't know exactly what the future hold for the franchise just yet, but Disney has already announced Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga to be released later this year. With Jedi: Fallen Order passing 10 million players, you can bet that a sequel is probably in the works as well.
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order marked a turning point for the franchise as many of its predecessors from EA never quite got enough love from fans. Get ready for a new generation of Star Wars games on Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S.
