Back in December of final year, we reported that Visceral'south upcoming Star Wars championship would likely exist an open-world RPG title. This assumption was based on a chore vacancy that EA and Visceral posted online dorsum so.

A small paragraph from December'due south job list:

THE CHALLENGE AHEAD:

BRING YOUR SYSTEM GAME Design SKILLS AND SAVVY AND YOUR LOVE OF STAR WARS TO VISCERAL GAMES, EMBRACING AND CONTRIBUTING TO THE PROJECT VISION IN AREAS OF HERO Command/MECHANICS, AI BEHAVIORS, COMBAT/WEAPONS, CLASS Pattern, SKILLS/PROGRESSION, ENEMY Pattern, STORY AND Boss ENCOUNTERS.

There even have been suggestions that the game might focus on Han Solo following some 'teases' on Twitter.

This doesn't seem to exist the instance if the game's co-author, Todd Stashwick, is to be believed. In a recent podcast from Geekleagueofamerica, Stashwick was interviewed and was asked whether Visceral's upcoming Star Wars game is "the Han-Solo game". According to Stashwick though, cipher that people have heard about Visceral's Star Wars project, is coming from the evolution squad.

"If you believe the net, the internet thinks that nosotros're doing an open up-world, RPG, Han-Solo game, and none of that is annihilation that we talked about", Stashwick said.

"Nosotros accept not released whatsoever details virtually our game", the co-writer added.

The full podcast can exist downloaded correct here. Y'all tin can hear the interview with Stashwick between the 8:53 and 23:54 time mark. Around the 17 minute marker, Stashwisk (who is also an acclaimed actor featured in Tv set series similar 12 Monkeys and Gotham) talks virtually Visceral's Stars Wars game.

Visceral'southward underground Star Wars projection is overseen past former Ubisoft producer, Jade Raymond, and Uncharted writer Amy Hennig. While Hennig is now the artistic director at Visceral, Raymond founded her own studio, Motive Studio, and helps out Hennig with the Star Wars projection.

Not much is known near Visceral's secret Star Wars project. It is said the game will feature a story contained from the already established Star Wars storyline. Apart from this, non much details have been released about the game.
