Known internally as Project Helix, Ubisfoft’s foray into the saga created by George Lucas would be much closer than expected.
Ubisoft hasn't had a good time. Cancellations of projects with substantial losses and the absence of major releases for some time seem to be weighing on the French company despite its recent foray into consoles for its Ubisoft plus subscription service.
On the horizon, productions like Assassin's Creed Mirage, the long-delayed Skull and Bones, The Crew: Motorfest and an unannounced game that would arrive before 2024, and it's this very title that opens the door to a possibility that could be truly enormous.
Ubisoft is going to a galaxy far, far away
Sources close to Ubisoft spoke with one of Kotaku's columnists and they indicated that andThe game in question would be the mysterious Star Wars title which is known internally as Project Helix and is led by Julian Gerighty, best known for his exemplary work on The Division saga. Already in the past, it was rumored that the game included an interplanetary travel mechanic and this further raised expectations despite the fact that other rumors also indicated that the project was going slower than expected.
While the anxiety is high, this fiscal year seems to be very close to closing for a game that isn't even known. Perhaps fiscal year 2025 (starting April 1, 2024) is a bit more realistic. Since Ubisoft hasn't confirmed or denied anything, apparently everyone has to choose what to believe.
