Electronic Arts has told Variety that it remains 'fully committed' to developing new Star Wars titles, following yesterday's report that the publishing behemoth had scrapped its open-world game in production at EA Vancouver.
While the company acknowledged the cancellation reports, it didn't actually confirm whether or not the game, which is reportedly codenamed Orca, had been shelved. Still, it did promise news on future Star Wars projects would drop 'when the time is right.'
'There’s been speculation overnight about one of our Star Wars projects. As a natural part of the creative process, the great work by our team in Vancouver continues and will evolve into future Star Wars content and games. We’re fully committed to making more Star Wars games, we’re very excited about Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order from Respawn, and we’ll share more about our new projects when the time is right,' said the publisher.
The supposedly cancelled Star Wars title was originally in production at Visceral Games, makers of the Dead Space franchise. However, EA shuttered the studio in 2017 and begun revamping the project at its Vancouver studio.
Beyond that, Respawn Entertainment currently has Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order lined up for release later this year.
