Lucasarts is closed

Lucasarts, the developers of many star wars games like battlefront, the force unleashed, the old republic, bounty hunter and much more star wars games has been now closed by Disney. Meaning that the games that were already in development were also canceled, including Star Wars: 1313 and Star Wars: First Assault. Now that Lucasarts has been closed, there has been some doubts, like, what could be the future for star wars games? Who is going to take their place? What will happend with the games that were already in development?

It seems that now the studio has become a licensing house, meaning that others can borrow the brand in order to create new games. This mean that some of the ideas mentioned earlier could be possible, since maybe other game developers could buy the license or borrow the brand to continue a game that was already in process or make a new game. Hopefully if this is true, maybe in the future we can see games like Star Wars: 1313, Star Wars: First Assault, Star Wars: Battlefront 3, games about the upcoming movies and more.

There has been some rumors that someone else could continue with the games and projects Lucasarts didn't finish. There has been also some rumors that the game Star Wars: 1313 has changed and it seems now this game will be about Boba Fett.

Even though this news have disappointed some star wars fans, there is still a chance for this to change, there is still a change that Star Wars games will continue in the future and with good quality. We need to wait to see what are the decisions taken and how would other developers respond, in order to see what could be of Lucasarts and Star Wars game in the future.

Keep tuned for the upcoming updates about this topic.
