Disney Closes Game Publisher LucasArt, 1313 and First Assault canceled

[Loose]

Game Informer has learned that Disney is closing its LucasArts game publishing subsidiary. We received an email from a LucasArts representative confirming the news.

The official statement reads as follows:

"After evaluating our position in the games market, we've decided to shift LucasArts from an internal development to a licensing model, minimizing the company's risk while achieving a broader portfolio of quality Star Wars games. As a result of this change, we've had layoffs across the organization. We are incredibly appreciative and proud of the talented teams who have been developing our new titles."

I guess this means someone has to pay money to make a star wars game instead of Disney fitting the bill themselves. Intelligent.

I pray namco makes a Jedi fighting game with the soul caliber engine, that was the best part of soul caliber IV

1313 was going to flop and Disney knew it. When people buy a Star Wars action game they expect Jedi and lightsabers, not a shooter.

If there is a video game god out there, please give the Star Wars Battlefront license to DICE and EA.

Battlefield: Star Wars

1313 looked good but i only want a new Battlefront

sad day. lucasarts was responsible for some classics, not just star wars games either

 

[JetLife]

good. LucasArts been fukking up for years on end. How you have the greatest license and backstory of all time ... yet produce one hot game every 10 years on average?

They need to re-boot the Knights of The Old Republic franchise, take it back offline, and go at Fallout's crown for best action-RPG.

 

[Prince Akeem]

Kinda expected this.
