Star Wars Uprising - new Disney/Star Wars project: a phone game?
Yep, a phone game. Disney has announced what is I believe the first official Star Wars RPG to come out since the shuttering of Lucasarts. It's important to the lore, bridging the gap between the end of Return of the Jedi and the beginning of The Force Awakens. And it's announced only for Android and iOS.
The Lucasarts logo to the left of the article may be outdated, but is intended as a memorial.
Daniel Erickson is the developer of a brand new Star Wars game, but when he talks to me about working on his project with Lucasfilm, he sounds more like a secret agent.
“For some of the story stuff, literally, I have to go into a room by myself and carry nothing, and read a script or a piece of paper, or a description, in a white room under guard, and then walk out with nothing.”
“It’s pretty in the BioWare world when you’re not in a dungeon, and pretty in the Diablo world when you are in a dungeon,” Erickson said, though he later added there won’t be any dialogue trees. “It’s a whole lot of storytelling and a whole lot of deep systems and things to explore outside, and then a pretty smash-em RPG when you’re running around stomping things.”
Pour one out for our loved ones, taken from us too soon.
