The Co-Writer Todd Stashwick for the game just confirmed that in an interview http://geekleagueofamerica.com/2016...ion-interview-with-12-monkeys-todd-stashwick/

At around the 8 minute mark and at the 17 minute mark Todd Stashwick talks about the game.

SmartWaffles · Apr 7, 2016

Thank god.

I thought the consensus was a third person action adventure like uncharted or tomb raider but with Star Wars? Where did the open world rpg rumor come from?

Yeah, I was under the impression it was going to be an Uncharted-like the whole time.

Nirolak · Apr 7, 2016

I was under the impression that it was an action adventure game that had some RPG elements like, well, frankly most action adventure games these days, as opposed to a more literal RPG.

I'm assuming the classes thing is for multiplayer or player specialization.

chefbags · Apr 7, 2016

So is it still 3rd person? I'm confused.

Kelegacy · Apr 7, 2016

That's too bad.

Gamezone · Apr 7, 2016

I hope it's more like Jedi Knight.

oti · Apr 7, 2016

JRPG I can feel it.

I think the open world part came from the job postings of Motive, who is working on both this, but also a new IP open world game.

Jawmuncher · Apr 7, 2016

Good. I want a linear cinematic Star Wars adventure.

Slixshot · Apr 7, 2016

Where is it? I need more Star Wars in my life

It's looking like Fall 2017, or at least that fiscal year (starts April 2017).

EA has already announced that their non-sports, non-mobile major title line-up through March 2017 is Mirror's Edge, Titanfall 2, Battlefield 5, and Mass Effect: Andromeda.

MassiveNights · Apr 7, 2016

This is guaranteed to have gameplay trailer at E3 right?

Jarmel · Apr 7, 2016

Can't they just formally announce this game?

Trago · Apr 7, 2016

I thought we were getting Uncharted in space? Don't know where the RPG stuff came from.

Permanently A · Apr 7, 2016

2nd person sidescrolling 2D VR integrated puzzler confirmed.

dex3108 · Apr 7, 2016

To be hones he said: "If you ask internet we are working on open world RPG Han Solo game and we said nothing about that." He never said that it is not something of those things.

khaaan · Apr 7, 2016

Why is the assumption that it's going to be Uncharted: Star Wars?

Most likely. I didn't even hear rpg like Elements in the rumors. Perhaps like tomb raider XP for unlocking abilities and salvage to upgrade weapons.

Yup.

ZeroX03 · Apr 7, 2016

First I'm hearing of open world and RPG. The assumption was Uncharted in space for most of us.

Jarmel said:

That won't make it release any faster. They'll formally reveal when it's ready.

Defuser · Apr 7, 2016

Because Amy Henning is involved.

TheLegendOfMart · Apr 7, 2016

Amy Hennig is heading it up, y'know Naughty Dog Amy Hennig who wrote for Uncharted 2 and 3.

She's known as the "creator" of Uncharted, having also written and directed Drake's Fortune.

Auctopus · Apr 7, 2016

Jarmel said:

Wouldn't make it come out any faster.

Plus, it would lead to GAF threads like...

"Anyone else concerned about how *Amy Hennig's Star Wars game* looks?"
"When are we getting more info on *Amy Hennig's Star Wars game*?"

Gunslinger · Apr 7, 2016

Please be Jedi Knight 3......

most likely not though. Probably 1313.

Mr. Pointy · Apr 7, 2016

I was under the impression it was a DMC-style action game starring Darth Jar Jar.

Similarly I can understand how someone would read this job posting as an RPG: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1155440

senior systems designer– visceral games

The challenge ahead:
Bring your system game design skills and savvy and your love of star wars to visceral games, embracing and contributing to the project vision in areas of hero control/mechanics, ai behaviors, combat/weapons, class design, skills/progression, enemy design, story and boss encounters.

That said, this also fits with regular action/adventure games these days.

and Uncharted 1...?

Ydelnae · Apr 7, 2016

I always thought it was going to have a The Last Of Us approach, with RPG elements like crafting and abilities/skills but still being an adventure game.

JehutyRunner · Apr 7, 2016

Jarmel said:

If it's coming within the next fiscal year (FY2018, starting April 1, 2017) for a Fall 2017 release, they'll certainly announce it this year at E3 or at Star Wars Celebration Europe.

stryke · Apr 7, 2016

khaaan said:

It's not an assumption. Nolan North outright said it.

HStallion · Apr 7, 2016

Surprise! Its an infinite runner where you are constantly flying an X Wing down the ravine in the Death Star looking for that exhaust port. That or a clone of Bejeweled where you have to match three Storm Trooper helmets in a row to get points.

Daredevil.shark · Apr 7, 2016

It's a surprise. So this might be like Star Wars 1313. Amy henning knows her work.

Finale Fireworker · Apr 7, 2016

Who thought it WOULD be? I thought everyone agreed that it was an Uncharted/Tomb Raider style action adventure.

potatohead · Apr 7, 2016

I want this to be Uncharted like.

Would love to see what Frostbite 3 or whatever fancy tech they are doing will do with this formula.

It's on Frostbite 3 and "in the style of Uncharted": http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1072262

Though, as the other job posting above suggests, there's some more stuff added in.

Aequitas · Apr 7, 2016

It's the puzzle game we've all been waiting for!

OmegaSmash · Apr 7, 2016

ezekial45 · Apr 7, 2016

1313 revival.

Duxxy3 · Apr 7, 2016

Hopefully it's a third person linear shooter. Ideally the location would be on a large ship. You would play as a technician called... Matt. A horrible accident occurs and it's up to you and your team to fix it, with the only tools available - laser cutters.

I think it could work.

He didn't say that. He said that those rumours did not come out of Visceral and when pushed he didn't deny it. He just said again that those rumours didn't come from them.

So with the "more stuff" it could end up closer to Rise of the Tomb Raider in terms of gameplay systems than the UC trilogy? I can dig that.

That's not what was said. He just said that they haven't confirmed what type of game they are making yet.

Then I expect a reveal/teaser or whatever at this years E3.
