We’ve learned Amy Hennig is making a new action adventure Star Wars game via a new partnership between Skydance New Media and Lucasfilm Games.
News that Amy Hennig is making a new action adventure Star Wars game come a few years after she left Electronic Arts, purportedly leaving her previous Star Wars game “on the shelf.”
Skydance New Media is partnering with Lucasfilm Games to make a “richly cinematic” action adventure game with an original story, set in the Star Wars universe. Skydance New Media is also working on another action adventure game set in the Marvel universe.
“I’ve often described how seeing Star Wars in 1977 essentially rewired my 12-year-old brain, shaping my creative life and future indelibly,” said Hennig, President, Skydance New Media. “I’m elated to be working with Lucasfilm Games again to tell interactive stories in this galaxy that I love.”
Lucasfilm Games vice president Douglas Reilly added, “We couldn’t be more thrilled to be working again with Amy. She and the Skydance New Media team have the talent and ambition to create a unique Star Wars adventure. Their vision for making inviting, cinematic interactive entertainment makes this collaboration very exciting. We’re working hard with their team of experienced and talented developers, and we’re looking forward to sharing more with Star Wars fans when the time is right.”
