A couple of minutes ago, we informed you about the ‘closure’ of Lucas Arts. Okay, the studio is not closing down but we might consider it dead as it will no longer be developing new titles.

It’s a sad day today for all gamers as Disney has shifted Lucas Arts from a development studio to a licensing studio – resulting in a number of lay offs – and High Moon Studios suffered from lay offs right when Deadpool was about to get released. Do note everyone that none of these two studios are shutting down, although you could say that about Lucas Arts. However, Lucas Arts have not developed any memorable game in a long time and since that studio is now turned into a licensing studio, we may see more Star Wars games than you may think.

Kotaku is at it again. After unveiling the first screenshots of Star Wars: First Assault, the big K is back with the first leaked footage from this multiplayer downloadable game.

Anyway, you can view the – short in length – leaked gameplay footage below, so go ahead and take a look. Special thanks to ‘Ghost Rider LSOV’ for spotting it!

Star Wars: Battlefront III is nowhere to be found, however another Star Wars may hit platforms at a later date. According to Kotaku, Star Wars: First Assault is said to be Battlefront III’s predecessor, in which one eight-person team of rebels fights against an eight-person team of Stormtroopers.

Still – and after the restoration mod for it – a lot of gamers want to see another Star Wars RPG, developed by the Obsidian team. Or at least that’s the vibe we get. Speaking with RPS, Obsidian’s CEO Feargus Urquhart admitted that the company is looking forward to creating a new Star Wars RPG, based between Episodes III and IV.
