Ubisoft is working on a 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Star Wars MMO, in case you hadn't heard. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:It was announced earlier this year along with news that Disney was revoking EA's exclusive license deal to create Star Wars video games, and Ubisoft Massive ha🦩d been tapped to take Star Wars into the future with an all-new open-world🉐 game.
But Disney didn't immediately turn to Ubisoft when it came time to give someone else the Star Wars license. In a new interview with , D♕isney Games senior vice president Sean Shoptaw said that the company was wary of handing over such a lucrative license to just anyone, and it took them some convincing to go with Ubisoft Massive.
“We really wanted [the Star Wars game] to come at the right time with the right partner," Shoptaw🌟 said. "The worst thing we could do is do it wrong, and do it our way that doesn't resonate with fans or doesn't meet that bar."
Disney wasn't even initially thinking about Ubisoft for 🤪the next Star Wars game. Shoptaw recounts how he was initially meeting with U🅰bisoft Massive to talk about the upcoming Avatar game, but during that meeting, he was convinced by Massive's passion for the franchise.

"That first meeting we had with Massive around the Avatar game after we acquired Fox was really 🍌the jumping-off point for the Star Wars game. There was such alignment and such creative passion around the Star Wars IP from that team that it just was a natural evolution to the relationship, and really led to the Star Wars game we announced not too long ago."
We don't know much about the still-untitled Star Wars game, but rumors are that it'll be an open-world MMO game of some kind. Fans have long been asking for such an open-world Star Wars game (other than 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Star Wars: The Old Republic, apparently), a🐠nd Massive's upcoming 💛game could be just what the fans want.
But that Star Wars game won't come until after 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, which was just officially announced at Ubisoft Forward last Saturday. That game is due out in 2022 and might feature some of the same gameplay elements that will find their way into the uౠpcoming Star Wars MMO.
