Massive Entertainment's Open-World Star Wars Game May Still Be Coming to Last-Gen Consoles
Following last year's announcement that future Star Wars games will come under the LucasFilm Games umbrella, it was also stated that a number of Star Wars video game projects are on the way. Among them includes Ubisoft's ambitious open-world Star Wars game that's currently in development by Massive Entertainment. Though not much is known at the moment, a recent Massive Entertainment job posting suggests that the game may be landing on last-gen consoles.
Back in January 2021, Star Wars officially ended its exclusivity deal with EA, which meant that the franchise will be working on a variety of projects with different game studios. The news was shortly followed by the re-emergence of the LucasFilm Games name, along with a number of upcoming Star Wars games. One of its most notable entries was the unnamed open-world Star Wars project, which Massive Entertainment bagged thanks to Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. Now, a job listing points to the game being available on last-gen consoles namely, the PS4 and Xbox One.
