After all, Star Wars has had a strong lineup of live-action shows since the recent trilogy wrapped. Fortunately, the main protagonist in the series, Cal Kestis, could appear in a live-action series with the same actor who portrays him in the video games.

Bandle Tale: A League of Legends Story is a new game about getting out of your comfort zone and connecting with others. In many ways, that’s also the story of Riot Forge. The publishing label pushed its corporate parent Riot Games out of its AAA design instincts to expand the world of Runterra. There’s only so much narrative you can weave into something like League of Legends, and all of Riot Forge’s games offered unique perspectives that enriched this world. I found fulfillment in that strategy too, as someone who enjoys the world of Runeterra, but didn’t want to play League of Legends itself.

Much like the mystical religions spread by its Bene Gesserit, the influences of Dunespread to every corner of the universe of science fiction. In some stories, the inspirations are woven so tightly into the fabric of the story they’re nearly impossible to pick up, maybe even for the author themself. In others, the homages to Dune are unmissable, occasionally to the point of being distracting. And then there’s Star Wars, the most blatant ripoff of all — at least, according to Frank Herbert.

EA announced a little over a couple years ago that Respawn Entertainment was working on a new single player first-person shooter set in the Star Wars universe, with Peter Hirschmann – executive producer on the original Star Wars Battlefront games – serving as game director. And though details on the game have been light since then, a new report published by Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson has potentially shed light on critical details.

New reports are emerging about the Star Wars FPS in development at Titanfall and Apex Legends studio Respawn, and if even a single word of these rumors is true it sounds like an absolute dream game for me.

Respawn Entertainment, the developer behind Titanfall and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, is supposedly working on a new Star Wars game that could put players in the role of a Mandalorian. These masked warriors have captivated the imaginations of Star Wars since Boba Fett first appeared in The Empire Strikes Back, and they have been a staple of the franchise’s Expanded Universe for decades. Recent Star Wars media like The Mandalorian has fleshed out the lore and culture of the Mandalorians in Disney’s official canon, making the idea of playing as one in a video game all the more enticing for fans.

A new video game is reportedly in the early stages of development, and is set to star a Mandalorian character. Ever since Boba Fett's debut in the original trilogy, the Mandalorians have been fan-favorite characters, only surging in popularity thanks to more recent efforts to expand their in-universe footprint, including and. Since the premiere of the latter, which began with a bounty-of-the-week setup, a game centered on such a character has been a popular request from fans, and now that dream appears to be approaching reality.

An eagle-eyed player has spotted a deep Mass Effect Easter egg in Helldivers 2, one that might put a smile on the face of anyone with fond memories of shopping in the Citadel. Earlier this month, Arrowhead Game Studios released the sequel to its 2015 top-down shooter Helldivers on PlayStation 5 and PC. Helldivers 2 shifts the camera to an over-the-shoulder third-person perspective, but it retains the same premise: as one of the titular Helldivers, the player must travel to alien worlds to defend the Super Earth government from various extraterrestrial threats.
