Respawn, the studio behind games like Apex Legends and Titanfall, is making a big push into the Star Wars universe. The developer announced that it’s working on three new Star Wars titles, including a sequel to 2019 action-adventure game Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.

The studio will also be making a currently untitled Star Wars first-person shooter and is partnering with Bit Reactor — a recently announced team founded by former developers from XCOM studio Firaxis Games — on a strategy game. “We are huge fans of Star Wars here at Respawn and we’re thrilled to work with Lucasfilm Games on new titles that we have wanted to make for years,” Respawn founder Vince Zampella said in a statement.

Other than that, there are few details on any of the games, including any information on when they may release or on what platforms. But the announcements come as LucasFilm has been opening up and working with notable developers on upcoming licensed games. Ubisoft and Quantic Dream are both making Star Wars titles, while Bethesda has an Indiana Jones game in the works.

Consider me hyped. Respawn are good devs.

Jedi Fallen Order was pretty good, and I'm interested to hear more about these. Especially the FPS Star Wars game. Apex Legends is quite smooth.

I'm enjoying Battlefront 2 at the moment, but it's not as good as the classic game. They didn't really do as much with the story mode as they could have done either, but the multiplayer is better than the first game they brought out. I think Respawn will do right by the series. Titanfall 2 is one of my favourite FPS campaigns, the story was pretty damn good. I also think their combat is always really fluid.

DICE seems to be taking a step back from Battlefront series, so I'm down for Respawn to go all in with their FPS game.

No plans for Star Wars Battlefront 3, as DICE focuses fully on Battlefield - report

All I know is it's pretty good if you're a fan of Star Wars at the moment. Multiple games in development, a more narrative based one from Quantic Dream. Should be plenty for people to look forward too.

You should see how the game launched. It was Microtransactions-heavy. Like... it was in front of your face the whole time.

I agree. It was BEAUTIFUL. TitanFall 2 was the first TitanFall purchase or playthrough i did in the franchise. That story mode? A kiss of beauty. That portal thing towards the end was FANTASTIC. I'm like... "WTF just happened!?"

I was just about to buy BF2042, until I saw the reception. Glad I did so. I was hoping for a good game. I wasn't even interested in portal. I would rather the full game. But it was lacking.
