There is news in the gaming world about a possible huge collaboration between Xbox and Disney in the production of a new Star Wars game. This follows the success of their recent blockbuster “Indiana Jones and the Great Circle,” which shows that the two entertainment giants are taking the levels of integration between them to another level.
The Star Wars gaming landscape has fundamentally transformed with the loss of EA’s exclusivity deal. Along with it, a new age of varied Star Wars games from other studios emerged to usher more gaming experience into the iconic galaxy far, far away. Of particular note among these new releases is Ubisoft’s much-touted open-world game, “Star Wars Outlaws,” an innovative take on the crime underworld of the Star Wars universe. To these high-profile launches, though, there are a number of other Star Wars projects under way in a variety of stages of production, both risk-reward new releases and long-overdue remasters of beloved classics, making the franchise new and vibrant across various platforms.
The possible co-development, rumored by Riskit4TB on X, tempts one to wonder which of Xbox’s great development houses would attempt such a gargantuan undertaking. In light of the various areas of focus for Xbox’s development houses and ongoing project commitments, the choosing of which house would be important to the success of a new Star Wars game. Studio deliberations over past experience with story-based adventures, open worlds, or combat systems would likely form part of this choice.
While fans of gaming eagerly await an official announcement, the possibility of a new Star Wars title being produced from an Xbox-Disney partnership is one to look forward to, quite possibly alongside another thrilling experience for those who adore the classic saga.
