Disney Kills Star Wars 1313, Lays Off LucasArts Staff

[url=http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2013/04/lucasarts-disney/][b]Story Here[/b][/url] You heard right. LucasArts is shut down, and Star Wars 1313 is dead. Here's an excerpt from the article: [quote]“After evaluating our position in the games market, we’ve decided to shift LucasArts from an internal development to a licensing model, minimizing the company’s risk while achieving a broader portfolio of quality Star Wars games,” read a statement issued by Lucasfilm. “As a result of this change, we’ve had layoffs across the organization.” Reached for comment by Wired, a representative said that internal development on announced games, like the next-gen shooter Star Wars 1313, had been ceased but that the company was evaluating its options as regards having those games completed by an outside developer. However, Kotaku quoted an anonymous source inside the company that said such options had already been explored, and Disney found no takers. So it’s looking quite unlikely that 1313 will ever come out.[/quote] I for one am bummed as hell. I was really looking forward to a more grimy Star Wars game, and 1313 looked like it was going to deliver. Damn you Disney. Damn you.

    LucasArts wasn't what it used to be. It's better that way. Star Wars 1313 would have just been another bummer like The Force Unleashed 2.
