Disney teasing new Star Wars game reveal for this December

After years of EA having practically exclusive rights to the Star Wars IP in the realm of gaming - and infamously mishandling it by all accounts - Disney has loosened the deal and cut in more publishers and developers. As far as officially known info goes, Ubisoft is working on an open-world Star Wars title, while

Aspyr is remaking Knights of the Old Republic

. Rumors, meanwhile, suggest that

Quantic Dream

is also making a game directly based on The Mandalorian.

Our best guesses are that in Week 10 of Bring Home the Bounty, we'll get official confirmation of that last rumor - since the whole idea behind this promotion is to stick to The Mandalorian as a unifying theme, it seems like the most logical outcome.

A while ago some footage made the rounds online billed as an alleged game based on The Mandalorian, and while this was later proven to be a fan project, the overwhelming excitement it garnered showed how hyped fans would be for such a title. At many points, the show already

felt

like a video game - there were side quests, the protagonist upgraded their armor as they completed missions, recruited other characters into their party, and the overarching plot is a long escort mission.

Of course, it may also end up being an announcement of Ubisoft's title, or just additional footage and information from the KotOR remake. We say "just" in relative terms, because we'd definitely be hyped up for more KotOR.

Speaking of The Old Republic - BioWare's still running Star Wars MMO is getting a major expansion this holiday season titled

Legacy of the Sith

. Since SWTOR is also celebrating its 10th anniversary, with the anniversary celebrations to kick off in December with the launch of the expansion, Week 10 in Bring Home the Bounty might align with that. Could Disney just have spoiled the release date for Legacy of the Sith?

Between the 50th anniversary of Lucasfilm, the 10th of SWTOR and all of these announced and unannounced games being cooked up, it definitely seems like the next few weeks will be busy for Star Wars fans - and the next few years even busier with all the releases that will follow. In any case, whichever reveal it ends up being, keep an eye out for new Star Wars video game news in December - provided it doesn't leak, first!
