We’re collaborating with Disney and Lucasfilm Games on a new story-driven open-world video game set in the beloved _Star Wars_ galaxy. This is a lore we love and want to do justice with a game and story that bring both new and lifelong fans on an immersive and outstanding journey that will stay with them for years.
