Star Wars by Ubisoft - New open-world game in the works

The EA exclusivity is effectively done at this point.

Yeah.

I have always argued that only a select few companies could do a Star Wars game. Ubisoft would be one of those companies.

A combination of high expectations from fans, most likely a very high cost, too much oversight from Disney/Lucasfilm games and probably little profit.

I have heard the incoming EA CEO was very unhappy with the deal EA made for Star Wars games.

The new game is by Ubisoft and the Division devs.

RIP

Please bring back "Star Wars 1313." We can do it now.

This will be bland and uninspired at best.

Idk, this probably won't be a Star Wars-Assassin's Creed, but if it is, I wouldn't mind.

That said it's being done by the Division devs, so it's likely either gonna be outright bad to okay. I doubt it's gonna be a stand-out memorable game.

As long as the game doesn't end up being a live-service game.

I really enjoyed both Division games.

And I also enjoyed their World in Conflict RTS games.

Tbh, they should've given the license to Valve. They could make some ****ing MAGIC with a star wars game.

Well I would agree that Valve would always be a good choice..

No way Valve would ever bid for a Star Wars game...and Disney would never work with Valve....

Will see about Valve?

^ Look again at the posts.

I don't want any studio to have exclusivity. I just hope Disney isn't pricing all but the biggest studios out of said licenses by making them ridiculously expensive.

Even if that was the case, a smaller studio most likely will not have the cash to make a Star Wars game anyways.

Unless Disney shells out money to those studios (like a typical publisher - developer), then I cannot see a small studio doing a Star Wars game.

Sure, but there's a middle-ground between the biggest studios and the smaller ones. I hope those ones in the middle get a chance to have a crack at it.

My god I hated the Division. I remember me and my buddies being so hyped for that game and then it turned out to be a bland storyline with nothing but bullet sponges for bosses.

Seriously, everyone would be out of ammo by the end of the fight because all youre doing is moving from cover to cover just spraying at a guy with a mini gun who shoots at you as he slowly walks towards you, just eating everything you throw at him. No tactics, no strategy, he just walks right at you and eats clips like candy.

I could not stand that game.
