Star Wars video games have been making headlines recently as it was announced yesterday that all games under the Star Wars umbrella will now be joined together under the name Lucasfilm Games. While this new change doesn’t alter the deal between Disney and EA, it sure will make it easier to classify and find Star Wars games. Included
Since Lucasfilm and everything that goes along with it was acquired by Disney in 2013, the crew behind the LucasArts team has mostly moved on. Instead, Disney decided to give EA exclusive rights to produce Star Wars games until 2023. Today’s news doesn’t change that deal at all. However, it does make it a bit
As 2020 (thankfully) comes to a close, the DualShockers staff is coming together to share their personal favorite games throughout the year. Unlike our official Game of the Year Awards, each of these lists is meant to reflect which games stood out personally to each of our staff members. Additionally, any game — not just
The past few years have been pretty good for Star Wars fans, especially with the recent debut of The Mandalorian: Season 2 on Disney+.

EA has one of the most recognizable IPs in all of entertainment at their disposal and they plan on trying to take full advantage of it moving forward. Per GameSpot, in a recent Fireside chat, EA executives spoke on how the Star Wars IP has been a huge success for the company and how it
While Respawn’s Vince Zampella was reminiscing on the studio’s tenth anniversary with IGN, he says the studio doesn’t have a new Titanfall game in development. “There’s nothing currently in development,” says Zampella. “But it’s always there. You see the little bits of stuff coming back [through the lore in Apex Legends]. At some point, I
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order released to praise from publications everywhere. Yes, it might not have been the absolute greatest thing to come to earth like the burrito, but it was essentially the Star Wars game us nerds had been wishing for for quite some time. That being said, the game went on to sell
Publisher Electronic Arts released its financial results for the fourth quarter of the 2020 fiscal year this afternoon and it showed that Respawn Entertainment’s Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order has continued to be a major success.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order yesterday announced a new free update that brings a plethora of content as part of the unofficial Star Wars holiday, May 4. While we’ve detailed the specific content that’s added to the game, such as additional challenges, Journey+, and more, but there are also some accessibility improvements that make the

The saga around Star Wars 1313 development is long and troubled. LucasArts formerly revealed the game at E3 in 2012. The team planned to make a gritty, mature take on the seedy underbelly of the Star Wars universe. However, Disney purchased the Star Wars property and subsequently terminated the game. Before 1313 was officially canceled,
If you’re a fan of Electronic Art’s Star Wars games then you may want to listen up. Late last night a report was released by Kotaku that mentioned the fact that there are, apparently, two brand new Star Wars games currently in development at EA. According to the report released by notably correct insider Jason Schreier, the first
EA just recently released its earnings report, but there was no report on BioWare or any of its titles. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was an obvious success for EA, and other titles like FIFA were listed for their consistency. However, there was no word on BioWare or anything related to the studio. This seems
It took a few years, but it seems as though EA has finally released a Star Wars video game that is surpassing all expectations. Announced today during Electonic Arts’ financial call going over sales for the publisher’s third quarter of the current fiscal year, it was revealed that Respawn’s Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order has already
While The Sims 4 got off to a rocky start, it has ultimately proved to be a success for EA. New expansions and DLC continue to release for the game, and EA revealed in their Q3 2019 financial results that The Sims 4 for PC, PS4 and Xbox One has finally surpassed 20 million unique
I truly can’t remember how old I was when I saw my first Star Wars movie. I have vague memories of seeing The Phantom Menace at some point when I was very young but I honestly couldn’t tell exactly when I saw it. That being said, I do remember seeing Revenge of the Sith with my
Released at the tail end of last year, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order came out of the gate as one of the best Star Wars games in recent memory. Thanks to its compelling story, a diverse range of characters, and its dedication to rooting the universe of Star Wars in a single-player focused experience, Fallen Order has

If you watched the most recent trailer from XO19, then you know that the protagonist of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Cal Kestis, eventually wields a double-bladed lightsaber. This lightsaber upgrade is one of the biggest changes in the moment-to-moment gameplay of Fallen Order, aside from making you look like a badass. If you stick
I have a firm belief that lightsaber battles should not be fast and flashy. Jedi Knights are not all-powerful invincible superheroes, and fights are more fun to watch and experience when every move has a purpose, weight, and strategic value. I can only imagine that wielding such a weapon would be hard. And boy, is
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is the newest action-adventure game from publisher EA and developer Respawn Entertainment (Titanfall, Apex Legends). As one of the very few who escaped the Emperor’s diabolical “Order 66,” Cal Kestis (played Cameron Monaghan of Shameless and Gotham) is one of the last known remaining Jedi. As such, he wields a

In its first week of availability, Pokemon Sword and Shield lapped the competition on the UK sales chart. Pokemon Sword
