Following up on a really brief rumor earlier today, comes confirmation that Respawn Entertainment is indeed working on a new Star Wars game. In fact, they're working on three new Star Wars titles.
EA, Respawn, and Lucasfilm Games are teaming up to deliver three titles, all of which will be different gaming genres. Respawn founder Vince Zampella will oversee these three titles alongside Lucasfilm.
The first game is the next entry in the Star Wars Jedi series. This one seemed to be an obvious one given how well Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order sold and was received. This one has Stig Asmussen serving as game director. The second title is a new Star Wars FPS with Peter Hirschmann serving as the game lead. The third and final title is a strategy game that is being developed alongside the newly formed Bit Reactor studio and led by Greg Foerstch. Respawn is acting more as a producer on this last title while Bit Reactor does most of the development.
Work has already started on all three of these projects. Respawn is hiring right now for a number of positions to help with development on these titles. You can check out their job listings for yourself at Respawn's career page.
