Lucasfilm representative Douglas Reilly has announced a new strategic direction for Star Wars video games, aiming to deliver surprising experiences that remain independent from the film narratives.
The company is adopting a more flexible approach regarding development partners. They are now open to considering a wider variety of genres and are no longer limiting project approvals to the industry's five largest publishers.
Reilly emphasized that while they are willing to collaborate with smaller studios, such as the team behind Star Wars Galactic Racer, they maintain high quality standards. Consequently, they generally prefer working with experienced developers rather than teams lacking a proven track record.
This shift in policy aims to foster innovation within the franchise, moving away from previous restrictions to ensure that future titles offer fresh and unexpected gameplay for fans.
