It appears that Electronic Arts has cancelled its open-world Star Wars game. This Star Wars game was being developed by EA Vancouver and was meant to be a re-imagination of the cancelled single-player adventure Star Wars game that Visceral Games was working on and was cancelled in 2017.
Now before continuing, know that this Star Wars game is not the same wit the one that Respawn is working. The Star Wars game that Respawn is currently developing is called Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and targets a Holiday 2019 release. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is an action game and takes place between Episode 3 and 4 in which you play as a Jedi and you can gold a lightsaber.
Electronic Arts has not made any official statement about the cancellation of the open-world Star Wars game but Kotaku claims that three people familiar with goings-on at the company have confirmed to it that this Star Wars game is no more.
Back in October 2017 when EA shut down Visceral Games, the publisher stated that it planned to shift the game to be a broader experience with the aim of allowing for more variety and player agency. The game would still be using the Frostbite Engine and its development team would re-imagine central elements of the game to give players a Star Wars adventure of greater depth and breadth to explore.
We’ll be sure to update the story once EA releases an official statement so stay tuned for more!

Not surprising. Blame both EA and Disney for this fiasco.

Having a t-shirt with “the force is male” on it would be sexist but a female version isn’t? Feminism has turned into a female power grab not equality.
I don’t see “power grab” from these T-shirts but if you find them threatening then maybe.
Never said such a thing, it was a comment about modern feminism and yes those t-shirts are sexist, not threatening.
I can’t fathom how you see those shirts as sexist.
Because if it was the other way around it would be called sexist. Why is “the force” with a particular gender then?
Dude, it’s not even a star wars reference. It’s just over your head. It’s a Nike thing that says, basically, women are a force and should be considered one (read, powerful).
It’s not complicated.
Well, there is no context to the image so it can be misinterpretation or interpenetrated differently so don’t go off on me just because you see it different to me.
“go off”? I think you’re adding some emotion to this that doesn’t exist.
It can definitely be misinterpreted, but that’s also why one should research before commenting. Sure, we can all be wrong, myself included, but given your name you get less of a pass. 🙂
Using my name as leverage for a win in an argument is low even by you.
Well, you are making yourself a target. Also, I’m not trying to “win” anything. I’m just stating a different view and you’re taking it weirdly hard.
Says you who made a claim I found the words or image threatening, stop contradicting yourself, you got trigged by my comment and felt the need to reply.
I didn’t make a claim. Just a potential rationale for how you came to the conclusion you did.
I don’t reply because I need to, I reply because it is fun. It’s like a cat batting a mouse around. it’s just too easy to resist.
You make it into something that’s personal for you, but it really isn’t.
You made it personal by implying I was threatened, how about next time you clarify what I meant. And yes I was right in my assumption of the image, because it’s about gender.
Uhmmm…noo….
We’ve been over this.
dirthurts is evidencing sympathy for SJW cancer and yet he’s claiming that you are the ‘weird’ one. ?
His replies to you have also been passive aggressive in the way NPCs smugly enjoy doing in the misguided belief it makes them appear smart when all it actually achieves is highlighting their lack of self-awareness and general all-round idiocy. Fun to witness, though!
Yes, doesn’t even realise the message is sexist because it’s about pushing one genders narrative and the women have been hard done by narrative, not realising men have struggled as well.
He’s currently stopped replying so is probably playing Battlefield V.
Yes, the propaganda game that makes false claims about something that never happened and about women for an agenda. The people that wrote that are scum and have the real heroes rolling their their graves.
Nah, you guys just got boring. You two are some weird circle jerk and it kind of makes me a bit queasy.
No, it’s called agreeing or aligning with their view, so the 3 people who voted you up and agree with you are a mini circle jerk then by your logic? Why don’t you just back off if you feel that too many people are not agreeing with your side? But oh it’s DSOG, you can say what you want without consequences.
Again, terminology that goes over your heard.
You said nothing of value, I mean you even misinterpreted “power grab” and then make a claim I’m “threatened” so sort your own issues out before claiming others have an issue with
“terminology” going of their head.
if you read what these btches say on twitter or what the write says on twitter you will understand that they ruined star wars with sjw nonsense.
Ahh so my assumption of the image was right then.
No, he’s just wrong also.
You can google it and see that it’s a Nike thing completely unrelated to star wars. Literally, just search “the force is female” in google. It’s not that hard.
I didn’t make the claim it was Star Wars and I was right, it’s feminists propaganda by big companies that are being stupid weighing in on ideological debates and taking sides at their own risk.
It’s not a Star Wars shirt dude.
Same propaganda message though.
You don’t even need to look into it. The SJW nonsense is extra. They destroyed Star Wars with the writing alone – the new trilogy is just god awful.
How in the f*ck is “the force is…” not a Star Wars reference you dumb*ss?
Indeed. Here’s the actual unvarnished full truth which NPCs like dirthurts are so careful to divert us from…

I’m subbed to uncle ethan too. Helped me through Star Wars’ recent passing.
HHAHAHAHAHAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHHAHA sorry i couldnt resist
Ah yes, the wilfully reductionist interpretation of the truth as parroted by all NPCs in the vain hope those reading will be gullible enough to accept it as being the whole story. gg
Have you discovered Google yet?
These people don’t live in reality man, what’s the point.
Ha, you again! Hello again my ‘favourite’ little personal stalker troll. Your seemingly endless stream of salty tears taste wonderful. Keep on at it, champ.
I’m sorry, was I talking to you? I can’t imagine being so arrogant to think that every time someone comments on the same article as me they’re a stalker.
Ironically, it seems he is actually stalking you.
“I’m sorry”

Shouldn’t you be busy elsewhere with Spaceknotzy aka Soynuts and MrSquifler defending Gillette in their self-inflicted hour of need?
How do you figure the head of Lucasfilm, Kathleen Kennedy, wearing that shirt has nothing to do with Star Wars? You can’t possibly be that dense, therefore I think you are defending a certain subversive political side regardless of the obvious facts.
Google it. It’s a Nike thing.
Its also a Star Wars thing, and much more recognizably so. I doubt she’d be wearing that if it weren’t for the obvious Star Wars reference. Its way too on the nose to not be a Star Wars reference.
Everyone is a protected class today except white males. It’s open season on them.
We have one lady in our company that has been around forever but she’s a pain in the a*s to deal with and although most of the employees don’t know about it she never works the hours she’s supposed to. Basically working around 30 hours a week while getting paid for 40 hours.
Upper management wants to fire her but won’t do it because of a potential lawsuit which would be expensive in legal fees even if they won and if they lost would cost a lot more.
She’s old, black and female and that is protected class times three.
I was just reading an article on a financial site about how unhappy Disney is with the way EA is squandering their exclusive license to make Star Wars games for almost 6 years now.
In that time they released Battlefront which lacked content and then Battlefront II which was riddled with microtransactions.
There have been some rumors that Disney has been in talks with Activision and Ubisoft but I haven’t seen any proof of that.
Disney would be better advised to start by looking a little closer to home, i.e. Chairman and CEO Bob Iger should be far more unhappy with the way Kathleen Kennedy and her hateful SJW clique drafted in at Lucasfilm have been squandering and destroying the Star Wars movie franchise these past couple years.
I will have to take your word for that. I stopped watching the new Star Wars movies a long time ago : (

where did you read that article?
I don’t remember now but Google this:
Disney says EA is squandering the license for star wars
and it will give you a list of sites to read about it.
Every time an EA game gets cancelled a Sims DLC gets its wings.
“and you can gold a lightsaber.”
microtransactions confirmed.
low iq business managers at ea back at it again. although this is a good thing for consumers so we should thank ea.
Ok. Does anyone care?
It’s EA, and no sarcasm whatsoever here, but this game would’ve been a pile of digital vomit anyways. Just like every other EA game from the past decade.
Nothing of value was lost here. It would’ve been EA’d to hell and back.
Star Wars is ruined already anyway, not much they can do to make it worse.
EA games
“cancel everything”
Anyone still care about EA anymore???
yeah..don’t put anything out that would actually sell..can’t kill your company with people going about doing things that would make money.
As a die hard fan of Star Wars, it’s really heartbreaking to see all these potentially great game go down the drain..
Yeah, we’re probably not really missing much honestly.
If the Star Wars games EA is releasing are the bad ones, I can’t help but think how bad the unfinishable ones are.
its for the best mate, they would have sucked like the movies. Star wars is dead face it.
Ultra low sales from Battlefield V=No Fallen Order. Such a shame.. One cancel after another. SW1313 was great concept too.. Visceral should get back at their owns, and reclaim SW titles.
LMAO !!! EA are a total joke.
I haven’t had my hopes up for an EA game since Dead Space 3.
Time to face facts folks: the days of getting new Star Wars games that are good have passed. Our only hope now is to cling to the past. Retweet the hell outta this.

well, dark forces xl mostly works, it has a bug that you cant pick up some of the last weapons in the game but someone released a fix in some forums.
Maybe their secret agenda is to destroy everyone’s hopes for a good SW game so one day far in the future when they release a ‘meh’ one it’ll be seen as amazing. Having a hard time forgiving Disney for giving the SW contract to EA instead of a publisher known for quality.
