The Canadian development studio EA Motive is working on a "unique Star Wars experience". Studio boss Patrick Klaus revealed this in an interview to Gamesindutry.biz. There is not much more information, but it is now certain that a new title in the Star Wars universe is in development.
Star Wars next: "A unique Star Wars experience"
Nach Informationen von Patrick Klaus arbeiten die Entwickler an einem Projekt, das ein „einzigartiges Star Wars Erlebnis“ bieten solle. Schon Jade Raymond hatte damals verraten, dass EA Motive für ein Star Wars Videospiel jede Menge Material von Visceral nutzen wird. Deren Projekt wurde im Oktober 2017 eingestellt, als Electronic Arts das Studio geschlossen hat.
Of course, "unique Star Wars experience" does not necessarily mean a video game, but the Emperor himself would have to have his lightning fingers in the game for EA Motive to do anything other than develop games.
Whether the apparently existing material will continue to be used is uncertain. EA Motive may also be working on a completely standalone project. Patrick Klaus says that EA Motive first has to find itself as a development studio. Therefore, they are currently working on finding the “identity” of the studio. You want to find out who you are as a studio and what you do, says Klaus. One way to do that is to publish games - especially successful ones.
This could be achieved with a Star Wars game. EA Motive already has experience with Star Wars. The studio supported DICE in the development of Star Wars: Battlefront 2. In any case, it will be for Electronic Arts time after grandiose Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order to bring more titles from the franchise to the market in order to use the license.
Except for the two Battlefront games and Jedi Fallen Order, no titles have made it to market. On the contrary: Electronic Arts has suspended several projects since 2013. Hopefully the EA Motive title will now have a different fate.
