LucasArts closed, Star Wars 1313 and First Assault could be cancelled

[Dark Drakan]

We all knew it was too good to be true when we first laid eyes on the excellent looking Star Wars 1313 (an adult themed Star Wars title) however after LucasArts was closed today it seems it may never see the light of day.

Official Statement​

​

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. ​

​

​

As a result of this change, we’ve had layoffs across the organization. We are incredibly appreciative and proud of the talented teams who have been developing our new titles.​

​

However the really bad news is that Kotaku is reporting that 150 people have been laid off and Star Wars 1313 along with Star Wars: First Assault have been cancelled.​
