Disney is teasing a Star Wars video game product reveal
New Star Wars products are being announced weekly until the end of the year
Disney and Lucasfilm could be set to reveal a new Star Wars game in December.
Yesterday the companies kicked off “a global consumer products, games, and publishing campaign” that will see new “Star Wars toys, collectibles, books, apparel, and more” revealed every Tuesday until the end of the year.
Week one of the ‘Bring Home the Bounty’ promotion included the announcement of new Star Wars action figures, Funko Pops and clothing.
An image (below) teasing upcoming announcements points to a video game-related reveal scheduled for December 14, although at this stage it’s unclear if it will be a brand-new title or something on a smaller scale.
Lucasfilm confirmed in January that its Star Wars exclusivity deal with EA was set to end by partnering with Ubisoft on a new open-world game.
While EA’s exclusivity deal may be drawing to a close, the company is still making Star Wars games, although it suggested in July that it wouldn’t announce any new ones until 2022.
BioWare is set to launch a new Star Wars: The Old Republic expansion this year to mark the 10th anniversary of the MMO, and it was recently confirmed that the EA studio’s classic RPG Knights of the Old Republic is coming to Nintendo Switch this year.
This is not to be confused with the KoTOR remake from Aspyr, which was announced as a PC and PS5 console exclusive in September.
An unannounced Star Wars game is also reportedly in development at Quantic Dream. It has been claimed that the title will feature more traditional action gameplay than previous titles from the Heavy Rain, Beyond: Two Souls and Detroit: Become Human studio.
