When Disney acquired the Star Wars franchise in 2012, the gaming scene experienced multiple cancellations. However, recent successful releases like Star Wars Battlefront 2 and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order have revitalized the Star Wars gaming universe. Prior to Disney's takeover, classics such as Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and the Star Wars: Jedi Knight series were fan favorites.
Since 2021, several exciting announcements have emerged, including Quantic Dream's Star Wars: Eclipse and Ubisoft's Star Wars Outlaws, as well as the anticipated remake of the beloved RPG, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, along with many more games. While 2024 may be a bigger year for Star Wars TV shows, there is still the potential for new information and updates on upcoming games, particularly the highly anticipated Star Wars Outlaws slated for release in 2024.
