We’ve known Visceral Games has been working on a Star Wars game since 2013, and more recently that former Naughty Dog alumna Amy Hennig is co-writing this secret project with Todd Stashwick, an actor who can currently be seen in Syfy’s 12 Monkeys; he’s also the co-creator of the comic book, Devil Inside. We also know that Scott Warner is directing the project. Warner’s past credits include work on Battlefield Hardline, Halo 4, and Mercenaries 1 and 2.
What game they are building is anybody’s guess. While speaking with Fortune in early 2014, Electronic Arts’ CEO Andrew Wilson compared his company’s approach to the Star Wars property with Warner Bros.’ work on the Batman Arkham series. “What Warner Bros. did with Batman was take the core roots of that IP and manifest that inside the walls of Gotham City and delivered an interactive experience that had real ties to what you would see in the films and what you had read in the comics, while having its own life because it could provide such deep and more immersive storylines,” he told Fortune. “When we look at the Star Wars properties that’s how we’re looking at it. We’re not trying to build a game that replicates the storyline of any particular film.”
