The Force re-awakens: Ubisoft working on new open-world Star Wars game

Although details are sparse, fans are hopeful the game being developed by Massive is just the epic narrative adventure they are looking for

Ubisoft is working on a new open-world Star Wars adventure, the company has revealed. Development will be handled by the French publisher's Massive studio, previously responsible for the online shooter series, Tom Clancy's The Division.

According to a report by Wired, production of the game is still in the early stages and nothing has been revealed about the characters or setting, or how the game will fit into the Star Wars cinematic universe. The project is being built using Massive's proprietary Snowdrop game engine, under The Division's creative director, Julian Gerighty, who also worked on the Prince of Persia and Far Cry franchises.
