Lucasfilm Games is expanding its approach to Star Wars game development, revealing that future projects could come from smaller studios and publishers rather than exclusively major gaming companies.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The future of Star Wars <\/a>gaming could become more diverse, with Lucasfilm Games <\/a>expressing interest in collaborating with developers and publishers of different sizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an interview with The Game Business<\/a>, Lucasfilm Games Vice President Douglas Reilly<\/strong> explained that the company is becoming more flexible when evaluating proposals for new Star Wars games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Star Wars Games Could Come From Smaller Developers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Reilly emphasized that creating a successful Star Wars game does not necessarily require the backing of one of the industry’s largest publishers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t have to necessarily be a top five publisher to make a great Star Wars game,\u201d Reilly explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also revealed that Lucasfilm Games is exploring projects of different sizes with a variety of partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Reilly, some future collaborations could surprise fans, particularly when it comes to the studios selected to develop new Star Wars experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lucasfilm Games Is Exploring Different Types of Projects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lucasfilm Games has already demonstrated its willingness to collaborate with different development teams through projects such as Star Wars: Galactic Racer<\/strong> from Fuse Games and Star Wars: Zero Company<\/strong> from Bit Reactor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company’s broader approach could open the door to smaller-scale Star Wars experiences alongside major AAA releases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That could mean more variety in gameplay genres, creative direction and development budgets, although Lucasfilm Games has not announced any specific new partnerships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For now, Reilly’s comments suggest that future Star Wars games will not be limited to the industry’s biggest publishers<\/strong>, potentially creating opportunities for smaller studios to explore the franchise in new ways.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
