Skydance New Media, a game studio founded by former Uncharted director Amy Hennig, is developing a new Star Wars game.
Jointly announced by Lucasfilm Games and Skydance, the upcoming title is described as a "narrative-driven action-adventure game with an original story set in the Star Wars galaxy."
The Director of Development is Skydance President Amy Hennig, best known for leading the development of the first three games in the Uncharted series, as well as contributing to the Jak and Daxter and The Legacy of Kain series.
"I have often described how watching Star Wars in 1977 essentially rewired my 12-year-old brain, indelibly shaping my creative life and future," Hennig said in a press release. "I am delighted to be working with Lucasfilm Games again to tell interactive stories in this galaxy that I love."
This isn't the first time Hennig has worked on a Star Wars game. He previously teamed up with Visceral Games (creators of the Dead Space series) to contribute to a game set in a galaxy far, far away. This title was eventually cancelled.
"The vision to create compelling, story-driven interactive entertainment makes this collaboration very exciting," said Douglas Reilly, vice president of Lucasfilm Games, in a press release.
“We are working hard with their team of experienced and talented developers, and look forward to sharing more with Star Wars fans when the time is right.”
Neither the release date nor the title of the next Star Wars game has been announced.
Skydance already has another project in the works. He announced that he would be developing a game set in the Marvel Universe late last year. It was similarly described as "a hit story-driven action-adventure game with a completely original story and a take on it from the Marvel Universe."
