A new Star Wars game, helmed by industry veteran Amy Hennig and to be developed by Skydance New Media, has just been announced.

Fans who are disappointed that 1313 has been canceled will have cause to rejoice. Amy Hennig, who was supposed to lead the development of said canceled game, will be working on a new Star Wars game with Skydance New Media, the studio has just announced today. The new game will be made in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games. Hennig is an award-winning writer and director, a game-industry legend whose credits include the blockbuster series Legacy of Kain, Jak and Daxter, and Uncharted.

“I’ve often described how seeing Star Wars in 1977 essentially rewired my 12-year-old brain, shaping my creative life and future indelibly,” says Hennig. “I’m elated to be working with Lucasfilm Games again to tell interactive stories in this galaxy that I love.”

“We couldn’t be more thrilled to be working again with Amy. She and the Skydance New Media team have the talent and ambition to create a unique Star Wars adventure,” says Lucasfilm Games Vice President Douglas Reilly. “Their vision for making narrative-driven and engaging interactive entertainment makes this collaboration very exciting. We’re working hard with their team of experienced and talented developers, and we’re looking forward to sharing more with Star Wars fans when the time is right.”
