Electronic Arts has canceled another Star Wars game we've never seen

According to a report from Kotaku, Electronic Arts also canceled the third unannounced Star Wars game in the last three years.

The dark side of the Force is paving the way for powers that many consider unnatural. And some consider the power of Electronic Arts' dark power to make a quality Star Wars game that isn't the work of Respawn Entertainment in three years. In fact, according to Kotaku, EA also reportedly canceled the third Star Wars game, which they developed at one point, but never announced and made public.

The code name for the game was Viking, and this is the third Star Wars project to cross in the last three years. It was a project that actually stems from 2015 and a game developed by the former Visceral Games. When that game was canceled in 2017 and Visceral closed, the project was moved to EA Vancouver and renamed the Orca project.

It didn't last long, just a year, and in 2019 it was renamed the spin-off title of Star Wars: Battlefront series with an open-world format. The idea was to assist the British studio Criterion on the game, but that seems to have killed the game. According to an anonymous source, the collaboration between studios in Canada and studios in the UK did not go fast enough or smoothly, so it became clear that the game would not be completed in a term appropriate to Electronic Arts.

The outcome is finally known - Criterion returned to the development of Need for Speed ​​games, while EA Vancouver was transferred to assist with the development of Anthem 2.0.
