New Star Wars third-person action game coming from Titanfall studio

The developers behind Titanfall are working on a Star Wars game. EA announced today (which just so happens to be May the 4th) that Respawn Entertainment is working with the publisher to create a "third-person action adventure game set in the Star Wars universe".

Respawn's contribution to the galaxy far, far away is being led by God of War 3 creative director Stig Asmussen. Asmussen joined Respawn back in 2014 after leaving Sony's Santa Monica Studio earlier that year. It sounds like a separate team is working on Titanfall 2.

"Fans should expect the exemplary level of quality first established at Respawn with Titanfall, a game that epitomizes our studio’s dedication to slick, larger-than-life action and fun, groundbreaking mechanics", Asmussen wrote on Respawn's official site.
