The Ubisoft Star Wars game is planned as an open-world, lore-heavy entry telling an original story in the Star Wars universe, and Massive is building it on the Snowdrop engine used for Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 and Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle.
The unnamed Star Wars project is reportedly the first in a long line of Star Wars games Ubisoft will develop. Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot said in a press release:
Ubisoft isn’t the only studio working with the Star Wars license moving forward. EA retains it, and LucasFilm Games VP Douglas Reilly said EA still has multiple Star Wars projects in the works spanning several teams.
So a Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order sequel is still feasible in the future, sitting alongside Ubisoft’s Star Wars game and whatever else LucasFilm Games comes out with. In other words, it’s a good time to be a Star Wars video game fan.
