Rumor: Disney Wants to Release New Stars Wars Games Every Six Month

While history is full of Star Wars games, a new report suggests Disney is taking a more aggressive stance about the franchise's future release schedule in the video game space with the end of its licensing deal with Electronic Arts. Disney and Lucasfilm Games didn't appear to waste time after the deal came to an end, locking down multiple deals with some of the biggest names in gaming to produce their spins on the galaxy far, far away. If the report is true, players will be able to begin marking their calendars as new games will begin to release regularly.

The report comes from Insider Gaming, which claims to have «sources» familiar with this new aggressive strategy when it comes to Star Wars game releases. It is believed Disney is looking to release two new Star Wars games every fiscal year, with one every six months alternating between a major tent-pole release and «one smaller game.» The report seemingly indicates Lucasfilm Games is on-board with this new strategy, which can already be seen in the number of games currently in development.

Insider Gaming goes on to say the eight announced games currently in development, including Jedi: Survivor from Respawn, Eclipse from Quantic Dream, and Amy Hennig's Star Wars game with Skydance, fall under this new strategy but remain several years out from release. Quantic Dream's game, in particular, was hinted as being a «development nightmare» for David Cage's studio, according to the outlet's sources and could be four years out from release. Knights of the Old Republic Remake has also been suffering from development problems forcing the game to be delayed and to change developers from Aspyr to Saber
