Everything we know about Ubisoft\u2019s Star Wars game: Open-world, Snowdrop engine, more Electronic ArtsUbisoft\u2019s ambitious Star Wars game is deep into development and while details are scarce, we\u2019ve got an early rundown on everything there is to know about the upcoming open-world title. It\u2019s safe to say there are quite a few Star Wars games in the works at this point in time. From EA\u2019s Jedi: Survivor game on the horizon to Quantic Dream\u2019s Eclipse project, a KOTOR remake, and plenty more in between, it\u2019s an exciting time for fans around the world. Among the list of projects now underway is none other than an open-world title from Ubisoft, the publishing giant behind the likes of Assassin\u2019s Creed and Far Cry. Although it\u2019s early days yet, without even so much as a proper name for the upcoming release, we do still have a fair bit of early intel to go off. So if you\u2019re eagerly awaiting any scrap of information you can get your hands on, here\u2019s a full rundown on everything we know thus far about Ubisoft\u2019s open-world Star Wars game. Contents Does Ubisoft\u2019s Star Wars game have a release date? Currently, Ubisoft\u2019s Star Wars game does not have a solid release date. However, we may have received a slight teaser through a developer tweet on January 2. Ubisoft creative director Julian Gerighty set the rumor mill ablaze with a simple post teasing the Star Wars title. \u201c2023 is going to be huge for us,\u201d he said in the tweet to accompany an image of the iconic Star Wars logo. Naturally, many interpreted this as though the open-world game is targeting a 2023 release, but it\u2019s worth taking that idea with a grain of salt. Gerighty soon followed up on his post to clarify that 2023 will be \u201chuge for our teams building our game,\u201d perhaps trying to walk back his initial teaser. Nonetheless, we know for certain the Star Wars project has been in active development since January, 2021, so fans shouldn\u2019t have to wait all too long to see the game in action. Which team is developing Ubisoft\u2019s Star Wars game? Swedish developer Massive Entertainment is leading the charge on Ubisoft\u2019s open-world Star Wars game. Best known for their work on the likes of The Division series and the most recent South Park title (The Fractured but Whole), the team now has two ambitious titles in development simultaneously. Not only is Massive working on the Star Wars game, but they\u2019re also responsible for the upcoming Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora title too, both of which are set to incorporate vast open worlds, meaning they\u2019re no small undertaking. Early open-world Star Wars gameplay details While we haven\u2019t yet seen even so much as a screenshot from the game, we do have some early details as to how Ubisoft\u2019s Star Wars game will play. First up, we know for certain the title will hone in on a \u201cnew set of characters who have their own motivations and stakes.\u201d As for an exact setting or timeframe, that\u2019s anyone\u2019s guess for now. We could see anything from the newly established High Republic era to more familiar territory in the Skywalker era. The open-world game is also set to utilize Ubisoft\u2019s innovative Snowdrop engine, an engine powering a number of upcoming titles from the publisher including Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora and the Splinter Cell remake. Although not yet confirmed, leaked intel from InsiderGaming claims we\u2019ll control a customizable protagonist and guide them through the story with our own decisions. Moreover, the report claims players will be able to \u2018seamlessly\u2019 jump between systems in a vast universe, akin to how No Man\u2019s Sky presents its boundless galaxy. Obviously, it\u2019s still fairly early days yet so it\u2019s worth taking this information with a grain of salt for now. But rest assured we\u2019ll keep you up to speed with all the latest developments right here as new details emerge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
