Star Wars 1313 was cancelled 10 years ago, but there’s a new hope as its director Dominic Robilliard has signed on as a Game Director at Skydance New Media, in a post shared to LinkedIn, returning to the world of Star Wars gaming and possibly Marvel too.
“I am incredibly excited to share that I will be joining Amy Hennig, Julian Beak and the incredible team at Skydance New Media as their Game Director,” Robilliard wrote on LinkedIn. “To collaborate with such an amazing group of developers and to play in the iconic worlds of #Marvel and #StarWars (again!) is a dream come true.”
Star Wars 1313 was in development for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, and was announced in 2012. The game would have put players in the role of Boba Fett as an early adult. The game’s name comes from its setting, which would have been Level 1313, an underground area of Coruscant. Development ceased on the project when Disney laid off the majority of the LucasArts staff, opting instead to focus on partnerships with publishers like EA. There was speculation at the time that EA might pick up development on Star Wars 1313, but clearly that didn’t happen!
We will be watching this development with great interest.
