There are multiple Star Wars games are in development including Star Wars Battlefront 2 and an action-adventure Star Wars title from Visceral games. Former uncharted director, Amy Hennig, will be directing the game in development at Visceral Games.
According to Amy, the new Star Wars game will be spiritually similar to Uncharted series. She insisted that it won’t be “Star Wars uncharted” and said that it is an important distinction to be made.
She explained that in Uncharted players will not see the game cutting away to show the villain’s point of view, it is a third person game but players are always following the protagonist like Indiana Jones movies.
As for the Star Wars Battlefront 2, EA has confirmed that the single-player for the game will feature multiple Star Wars eras.
Star Wars Battlefront 2 will launch later this year and Visceral Games’ Star Wars is speculated to launch in 2018 for PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
