In The Empire Strikes Back, Yoda calmly tells Obi-Wan that there is another when he refers to Luke as their “last hope.” Electric Arts took this line to heart yesterday when they announced three additional Star Wars games in collaboration with Respawn Entertainment.
Star Wars Jedi 2 will be a sequel to Respawn’s Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, and it is currently in development under the stewardship of Game Director Stig Asmussen. It’ll be joined in-house by an untitled Star Wars FPS, which will be overseen by Game Director Peter Hirschmann.
Finally, Respawn will partner with Bit Reactor and Greg Foerstch, the Art Director of XCOM: Enemy Unknown and XCOM 2, to produce a new strategy game set within the Star Wars universe.
“We are excited to continue working with the superbly talented developers at Respawn,” said Douglas Reilly, the Vice President of Lucasfilm Games. “They have demonstrated excellence in telling epic Star Wars stories along with best-in-class gameplay across different genres and we are looking forward to bringing more amazing experiences to the galaxy far, far away.”
All three games are currently in development, but EA has yet to announce a release date or platforms for any of the titles.
