Summary
A new rumor appears to depict several leaked images from Respawn’s rumored tacticalStar Warsgame. TheStar Warstitle is currently in development in collaboration with Bit Reactor, although little is officially known about the game.
The history ofStar Warsgames has always been a mixed bag, with some exceptional titles mixed in with more middling releases. In recent times, theStar Wars Jediseries has been a highlight, while Ubisoft’sStar Wars Outlawsfound better critical success than it did commercial. The franchise has even crossed over into other games, with a newrumor suggesting thatFortnitewill soon be crossing over withStar Warsagain.
According toMP1st, new images of Respawn and Bit Reactor’s tacticalStar Warsgame have leaked from an artist’s portfolio, giving fans some important information about the upcoming title, including its development codename,Star Wars: Bruno. The images show players in turn-based combat playing as Mandalorians fighting clone troopers, as well as a headquarters in a location named the “Kafrene Mining Colony,” with options for the Armory, Holotable, Special Ops, and the Black Market. In terms of gameplay, itlooks more likeXCOMthanStar Wars: Empire at War, the franchise’s last attempt at a tactical title.
Images Leak of ‘Star Wars: Bruno’
It has already been confirmed that Respawn and Bit Reactor’sStar Warsgame will be revealed on April 19, so fans don’t have long to wait to see it in action. If these images are in fact real (and they do appear to be), they should be taken with a pinch of salt. According to MP1st, the images from the artist’s portfolio are dated to mid-2023, meaning they come from a much older build of the game. Plenty could have changed since then, and it’ll be interesting to see what exactly has been altered.
Star Warsvideo games are in an interesting place at the moment. There are plenty ofStar Warsgames confirmed to be in development, but very little is known about any of them right now, leaving fans feeling slightly in the dark. Hopefully, the upcoming Star Wars Celebration convention in Japan will shed some light on these titles and what they’ll feature.
