A rumor appeared on the Internet that the studio Lucasfilm allegedly gave the go-ahead for the development of a sequel to the series of games Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, which is already in the early stages of production. Information comes from a well-known insider Daniel Richtman…

As for EA, in 2013 the publisher received exclusive rights from Disney to release new games in the universe created by George Lucas… However, this does not mean that only this company can release games.
In particular, the studio created in 2015 ILMxLAB releases VR projects: Secrets of the Empire, Trials on tatooine and Vader Immortal… In 2023, their new brainchild should also be released – Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge…
