Ubisoft's Star Wars game to feature multiple open-world planets and systems
The scale of Ubisoft's upcoming open-world Star Wars game has been compared to that of Starfield and No Man's Sky.
All eyes may be on the imminent release of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor on 17 March, 2023, but it’s by no means the only Star Wars project in the pipeline.
In fact, one report suggests that Star Wars executives are hoping to release a brand new game every six months - one AAA title and one smaller game per year. There’s Uncharted creator Amy Hennig’s project, Quantic Dream’s Star Wars: Eclipse, Saber Interactive’s Knights Of The Old Republic - and that’s just to name a few. Today though, our attention turns to Ubisoft’s upcoming open-world Star Wars game. After recruiting playtesters last month, new details are beginning to emerge about the mysterious story-driven project.

According to a report by Insider Gaming, the untitled project could rival the size of Starfield. They claim that the game will “boast a fully open, seamless universe, akin to that found in No Man’s Sky,” adding that players “will be able to jump between systems, immersing themselves in a vast galaxy bursting at the seams with activities.”
The report went on to say that the story will be driven by “a fully customisable character that walks a path chosen by the gamer themself.” That sounds very Mass Effect-esque, no? On top of that, it appears as if we could be getting some official details soon.
Ubisoft’s creative director Julian Gerighty took to Twitter to write, “Happy New Year to you all. 2023 is going to be huge for us. Join the adventure. #MassiveStarWars.” Admittedly, it’s not much to go on and I’d imagine that the game is quite some time away from release, but I expect that the team are hoping to make major strides this year. That’s an exciting prospect.
