Creative Assembly, the studio best known for theirstrategyTotal War series, are rumoured to be working on a licensed Star Wars title. ‘Rumoured’ is the key word here, mind.Dualshockerscredit “a reliable source” with the information that “three new Total War games are currently in development,” and that “one of the three new projects is expected to be a Star Wars-themed Total War game.” There’s currently no further information beyond that, I’m afraid, although I’ve reached out to Creative Assembly for comment.
That’s two games left. Again, even assuming there’s three in development, which seems like a lot for a studio that’sundergoneas muchtumultas Creative Assemblyrecently. Out of those two, it feels very unlikely to me that the studio won’t have at least one historical title in the works.Total War: Three Kingdomswas the fastest selling one they’ve done, and fans are still clamouring for aMedievalorRome 3. This is a studio that built their name on, and has consistently released a steady stream of, historical games. I can’t see them stopping any time soon.

That said, I just can’t see the setting working well. I understand there’s lots of deep lore, but look, I played the X-Wing minis game, and there’s 3 factions in that. Rebels, Empire, and ‘Scum and Villainy’ - basically just the bounty hunters and that. Not enough for a Total War game, I don’t reckon. All this aside, I certainly wouldn’t say no for a chance to send a formation of wompas careening into rebel lines, and I can see it being a decent success for the studio if it does turn out to be in development. I’ll let you know if I hear anything else.
