Update

AccountNGT is a well-known insider. In the past, he has uploaded to the web an artwork from the trailer of Star Wars: Eclipse just days before its official screening. Now he has shared some rumors on Twitter about Skydance New Media's mysterious Star Wars project.

  1. It is to be codenamed Project Walton.
  2. Its action will be set in times of the rebellion (after Revenge of the Sith; around the time of the original trilogy).
  3. The plot of the mentioned below Ragtag was also to be set in this era. It is therefore possible that Walton will be its spiritual successor and we'll see some elements from Amy Hennig's cancelled project (around the 2:42 mark in the video below) in it.

Original news

Today, Skydance New Media announced a partnership with Lucasfilm Games. As part of the deal the studio obliged itself to develop an action adventure game with an original story set in the Star Wars universe. Target platforms, release date and details about the gameplay have not been revealed at this time.

The game, however, may in some ways resemble 2019's Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and/or the cancelled game Star Wars 1313 - both are representatives of the action-adventure genre.

Amy Hennig

Skydance New Media was founded in 2019. The company consists of many talented developers with experience with games AAA. The team is led by Amy Hennig, director of the first three instalments of the Uncharted series and several installments of Legacy of Kain.

Ragtag

Hennig has some experience with Star Wars games. In 2014 she joined Visceral Games (creators of Dead Space) to assist them in the production of a work codenamed Ragtag, which was to be set in the discussed universe. Unfortunately, nothing came out of the project, and the studio was closed by Electronic Arts in 2017.

Marvel

Finally, it is worth mentioning that last year Skydance announced partnership with Marvel Entertainment to create a AAA game featuring well-known superheroes.
