We already knew that Respawn, the developers of Titanfall, had been expanding, and that the second team is working on a third-person action adventure game. Now we finally know what that game is.
Director Stig Asmussen (God of War III) thought that May 4th would be the perfect day to announce that this project is a new Star Wars title. He didn't share any more details, but said that the entire team is ecstatic to be working on a game set in the Star Wars universe.
It'll be interesting to see how their "dedication to slick, larger-than-life action and fun, groundbreaking mechanics" will translate and what part of the expansive Star Wars universe they're set to tackle.
It also remains to be seen whether EA chooses to show anything from this new Star Wars project at E3 (or rather its own event, EA Play), or if they want the spotlight to be fully on Titanfall 2, so we'll have to wait for next month to find out.
