Last year in June, Star Wars fans in the gaming community rejoiced at the sighting of a brand new game for the franchise. Not only a new game, but a much darker, grittier game than Star Wars fans were use to. This rated "M" had been set to join others on a journey to be released in the year 2013. Although, sources that prefer to be unnamed have left rumors that quite possibly the game may be put on hold. This is a cause of Lucasfilm being purchased by Disney.
Are several surprised? While Disney has its hand in nearly everything, to place a game that was slated to be released sometime later this year seems to be a step backwards to wanting to show the world that their purchase had been a strong decision.
For now, gamers will have to hold their breath and pray to whatever gaming God they worship that these rumors are just that - rumors. This Star Wars fan has hope that things will continue on schedule, and once the game is on the shelves all of this will only be a bad dream. One can only hope.
Any that do not know, for background detail, Star Wars 1313 was said to be the first Star Wars with a rating of "M". Not only that, but it was going to show a darker, much more 'realistic' universe where bad things happen in the shadiest parts of the galaxy. How can Disney deny gaming fans this precious game?
Check out the official article here. Share your thoughts below. Did you fear that with the transition over to Disney that this was going to happen?
May the force be with us.
