Disney Wants New Star Wars Game Every 6 Months
It looks like we may be in for a flood of Star Wars games. Disney's rumored publishing plan is to release a fresh title every six months.
The coming years could be full of games from under the sign of the world's biggest space opera franchise. According to sources from well-known industry insider Tom Henderson (via Insider Gaming), Disney has a plan to release more games from the Star Wars universe, on average one every six months.

Such ambitious publishing plans seem quite feasible. It can be assumed that one AAA game and one project outside this top budget segment will appear during the year.
We already know of at least eight items from the Star Wars universe, those we can name are:
- Star Wars Jedi: Survivor by Respawn Entertainment - set for release in 2023.
- Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake by Saber Interactive - release date not announced.
- Star Wars: Hunters by Zynga - release date in 2023.
- Star Wars: Eclipse by Quantic Dream - date not announced.
In addition, two more games from Respawn Entertainment (an FPS and a strategy game) are said to be in development. Also Ubisoft is working on a Star Wars game, which is expected to be an open-world sandbox.
Plans for the (further) future
Closest to release are game announced for next year - Jedi: Survivor (sequel to Fallen Order) and the mobile Hunters.
As for the remaining titles, we can't be sure of anything, but according to sources cited by Tom Henderson, work on Eclipse is said to be causing Quantic Dream "quite a few problems."
It is also possible that at some point we will get a game based on the successful show The Mandalorian, but at this point no reports indicate that this will happen in the near future.
However the publishing plans pan out, one thing we can be almost certain of: fans of Star Wars will have no opportunity to be bored on the gaming front.
