Electronic Arts and Lucasfilm have just revealed that Respawn Entertainment, the studio behind Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, currently has three individual Star Wars projects in active development.
The news comes from the official Star Wars website, where a recent blog post unveils new details about various Respawn projects that are in the works right now.
The first of these projects is perhaps the most predictable — Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order 2, which will serve as a follow-up to Respawn’s 2019 hit. We had already heard rumours that this game could show up prior to E3 2022, so its reveal is definitely the least surprising of the three. The other two games are an FPS and a strategy game.
The blog post includes thoughts from various executives across the three companies, all of whom are excited about tasking such a beloved studio with helming further stories in a galaxy far, far away. Perhaps the most interesting quote, however, comes from Peter Hirschmann, who will serve as game director for the upcoming Star Wars first-person shooter.
“Working with Lucasfilm Games on a new FPS in the Star Wars galaxy is a dream come true for me, as this is a story I have always wanted to tell,” Hirschmann said. According to the blog post, Hirschmann has previous credits on the original Star Wars Battlefront games, making him an excellent fit for a new FPS — particularly when you consider his comment about telling a story he has always wanted to tell.
