Lucasfilm Games is working on a new Star Wars title with Ubisoft’s Massive Entertainment

By announcing this collaboration, Lucasfilm Games has confirmed that Disney will not be renewing its Star Wars exclusivity agreement with EA. However, it has been confirmed that Lucasfilm Games will still be working with EA on future titles. Massive Entertainment is a Ubisoft-owned studio, and Lucasfilm Games will likely be working with other third parties on other Star Wars games. 

EA squandered much of its 10-year period of agreement with Disney. Because of that, Star Wars fans have barely gotten any new Star Wars gaming content for almost a decade. While EA has alleviated this issue with the release of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Star Wars Squadrons in 2019 and 2020, but that does not excuse the fact that EA released only two new Star Wars games between 2013 and 2017, one which lacked a campaign/story mode. Add on Star Wars Battlefront II’s loot box fiasco, and it is easy to see why Disney doesn’t want to rely on EA exclusively.  

Lucasfilm Games has also announced a collaboration with Machine Games on a new Indiana Jones title, seeing the games publisher partner with Bethesda.
