Veteran writer and game director Amy Hennig (Legacy of Kain, Soul Reaver, Uncharted 1-3) will get to make a Star Wars game after all. You’ll surely remember that she had joined Visceral Games back in 2014 to work on the so-called Project Ragtag action/adventure title, though Visceral Games was eventually shut down in 2017, and Project Ragtag never materialized.
Well, today Skydance New Media announced a new partnership with Lucasfilm Games to work on a ‘richly cinematic action-adventure game’ featuring an original story based on the Star Wars IP.
Amy Hennig, President at Skydance New Media, said:
Julian Beak, Executive Vice President & GM at Skydance New Media, added:
Douglas Reilly, Vice President at Lucasfilm Games, stated:
In late 2021, Hennig and Skydance had already announced their first project with another Disney subsidiary - Marvel.
While these new projects may be far away from completion, you’ll get a taste of Amy Hennig’s writing before the year is over. She worked as a writer on Forspoken alongside fellow Project Ragtag developer Josh Stashwick, Rogue One writer Gary Whitta, and Shadowhunters: The Mortal Instruments writer Allison Rymer.
