EA Cancels Respawn's Star Wars First-Person Project, Was Reportedly A 'Mandalorian Game'

Good lord, Star Wars video games just cannot catch a break.

Well that’s a shame. Personally speaking I’d rather have a 3rd person Mando game though anyways. Motion sickness with FPS, plus I just like being able to see my character.

Honestly speaking, they could probably use a very similar formula to Star Wars Jedi for a Mandalorian game and it would work well. There’s plenty of action adventure rpgs / souls likes that prove ranged weapons / playstyle can be an option.

Of course it was cancelled. Sadly we're in a world where any game that is First Person and not Call of Duty has people whining (see Indy reaction for proof). Stagnant boring times.

Probably a good idea. The show went downhill fast after season 1.

With the movie planned this cancellation puzzles me. Oh well. Keep spitting out those sports games EA...

Thank Disney, the Star Wars IP means less now than it ever has. To me this being cancelled shows that EA has no faith in a Star Wars game being successful enough to develop. If they were sure they’d make money from it they’d sure as hell develop it.

Less first person games is only a good thing imo.

I guess we'll just have to re-play "Bounty Hunter".

First Prey 2 and now this. Can I pls just get a planet hopping, fast moving, fps bounty hunter game before I die? Been waiting 30+ years now.

I wonder if Hogwarts Legacy and Spider-man selling by the boatload, has made EA think they can't compete in the movie into video game front?

Guaranteed money that game would of been if it was decent sounded really good to me we need more FPS shooters that aren't just about multiplayer

ubi is our only hope with star wars outlaws.

@PhilKenSebben
High on Life is the game you've been looking for then

@rustyduck
Given their recent track record I am not holding my breath that outlaws won't be terrible too. I am still shocked Skull and Bones was released at all

If you’re in the business of making video games and you cannot profit from making a Mandalorian game, the problem is not market conditions, the problem is you.

EA, another company just like Ubisoft that I have no desire to entertain or give my money to. Not just because of this but because of this and that and this and that and this and that. Greed is their only goal.

I wonder if this is in response to Disney investing in Epic Games. Why invest future resources on the Star Wars IP when you know you'll loose it when your current deal expires.

I will in return, continue my focus on other publishers not EA.

But don't worry, we have five more Star Wars games coming where you'll be playing as a Smuggler/Scoundrel. I was really looking forward to finally getting a Mandalorian game.

Hopefully another publisher wants to pick this up. I was really looking forward to this. Even over the other Star Wars games that were announced.

Still no Titanfall 3 then? Would much prefer this over another Star Wars game.

I think all these big companies are deciding to put the obvious dead on arrival looking games on ice now after mega flops like Saints Row, Hyenas, Forspoken and Suicide Squad.

These companies arent willing to bankroll 7 year, $200,000,000 flops any longer. Which is good!

@ZuneTattooGuy I appreciate the recommendation, and wish it were true. Didn't enjoy that one.

@MaseSco
The sales of Titanfall 2 would tell a different story
