Star Wars 1313 Production Has Been ‘Halted’

Star Wars 1313 Production Has Been Halted

Disney’s announcement yesterday of it pulling the plug on LucasArts sent shockwaves throughout the video game industry as their game development studio seemed like it was just about to take off with its upcoming release of Star Wars 1313, whose future was uncertain during yesterday’s announcement. It looks as though the news isn’t looking good for the game as a LucasFilm representative confirmed the production for Star Wars 1313 has been halted.

LucasFilm spokesperson Miles Perkins spoke to the BBC saying, “Both current Star Wars games projects have been halted.” That doesn’t necessarily mean it’s officially being canceled as a LucasArts rep spoke with Game Informer yesterday saying, “There’s always a possibility that it [Star Wars 1313] can still come out via licensing.” Considering how much work was already put into the game by LucasArts, we’re not sure if licensing the game out to external partners would be in the game’s best interest. Either way, we think you should probably plan for the worst in regards to Star Wars 1313 as it’s future certainly isn’t looking to be a bright one.

Star Wars 1313 Not Coming This Year After All

sw 1313 Star Wars 1313 Not Coming This Year After AllEarlier this morning, the online gaming community was abuzz with news that Star Wars 1313 has been listed for a release this year on the PS3 platform by PlayStation Germany, and it certainly lifted the spirits of many. Well, we hate to play the role of party pooper, but it is rather unfortunate that LucasArts has stepped in to claim that PlayStation Germany’s Facebook page gave out inaccurate information.

Here is what LucasArts had to say (from a representative, that is) concerning the hype surrounding Star Wars 1313 this morning, “Unfortunately we do not have any announcements to make at this time. At the same time, it is safe to say that this report is not accurate.”

We are, after all, just human, and mistakes do happen from time to time. Back to our normal lives now, at least until the next round of fresh rumors surrounding Star Wars 1313 start to circulate to get our hearts all a-flutter. Hopefully someone, somewhere, will be able to get more information on Star Wars 1313′s status in due time.
