It’s finally happening – Amy Hennig is coming to Star Wars. After a false start a few years back, Hennig and Skydance New Media are collaborating with Lucasfilm Games to bring us a ‘narrative-driven, action-adventure game featuring an original story in the Star Wars galaxy‘ that given Hennigs pedigree promises to be something really special.
A new Star Wars adventure is on the way from one of gaming’s most acclaimed creators.
Skydance New Media today announced a collaboration with Lucasfilm Games to develop and produce a narrative-driven, action-adventure game featuring an original story in the Star Wars galaxy. Helming Skydance New Media is award-winning writer and director Amy Henning, a game-industry legend whose credits include the blockbuster series Legacy of Kain, Jak and Daxter, and Uncharted.
Skydance New Media was formed in 2019 with the goal of creating high-fidelity, richly interactive experiences crafted for traditional gaming platforms as well as emerging streaming services and designed to be appealing, inviting, and accessible to a global audience. Since its creation, the studio has assembled a team of developers and artists with decades of AAA experience in action and adventure gaming, as well as a diverse team of creative consultants from the worlds of film, television, games, and comics.
This is the second significant project announced for the game studio, which was formed by Hennig and veteran producer Julian Beak to pioneer a new category of narrative-driven interactive entertainment. In late 2021, the studio announced a partnership with Marvel Entertainment to craft an all-new game with an original story and their unique take for beloved Marvel characters.
Naturally, Hennig is rather pleased about the announcement.
