Every announced Star Wars video game in development

The number of new Star Wars video games in development has exploded since publisher Electronic Arts’ exclusive access to the Lucasfilm franchise has run its course. Eight major Star Wars titles are in development. More will likely be revealed in the future.

Those video game projects join a long list of new movies, TV shows, books, and comics set in George Lucas’ galaxy far, far away, as Lucasfilm Games works to rebuild Star Wars’ presence in games. Many of those games are years away, as evidenced by the number of Star Wars logos and untitled projects you’ll see below.

Respawn Entertainment has an all-new Star Wars First-person Shooter, which is yet to be named. The shooter’s development is being led by Peter Hirschmann, the game director.

Respawn’s Star Wars shooter does not have a release date or announced platforms, but it appears to be publisher Electronic Arts’ replacement for the modern Battlefront franchise, which was developed by DICE.
