The Star Wars franchise is undergoing a newfound renaissance. While new movies are years away from hitting the big screen, the television and video game mediums are thriving. Lucasfilm and Disney have developed critically-acclaimed shows that expand the Star Wars universe, and many studios are busy working on similar experiences in video game format.
Several years ago, EA held the exclusive rights to produce Star Wars video games, which resulted in the beloved Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, the unexpected Star Wars Squadrons, and the controversial Star Wars Battlefront II. After EA lost that exclusivity, you didn’t need a connection to the Force to predict the flood of new Star Wars games, many of which are now in development.
Currently, eight different Star Wars titles are in the works (that we know of):
