A new position opened up at LucasArts for those of you readers interested. But the description of this job opening does seem to suggest that the studio may be working on a console based open world RPG.
For those of you who haven't seen the listing it states that they are looking for a gameplay engineer and that having " experience with open world RPG's is a plus".
Could this be a new open world Star Wars in the works? Well I personally hope so. Just because its Lucas Arts doesn't mean that it has to be Star Wars, although it would be the only RPG I would see them making and doing well with.
In an era where pixels ruled the screen and creativity sparked the imagination, a few names stand out as trailblazers in the gaming industry – David Fox is undoubtedly among them. As a co-founder of LucasArts, Fox played a pivotal role in shaping the landscape of gaming, leaving an indelible mark with iconic titles that continue to resonate with players worldwide. Join Sector as he shares captivating stories about the birth of LucasArts and the enthralling narratives behind some of the industry's most beloved classics.
eh…Gilbert, Purcell Schaffer were the trail blazers in that crew. David, while he did do some stuff once, like a real long ass time ago is more like b-list personality that specializes in reminiscing and signing ops at a convention.
Andersson will act as design director on the title and work in parallel with creative director Axel Torvenius – who was previously art director for the Wolfenstein games and with executive producer Jerk Gustafsson at the helm.
You know what games I want way more than Indiana Jones? The darkness and Riddick.
Haha, completely agree... But, the fact that he is involved in this is a definitely a positive sign! Could actually be a good game!
You might be right. Indiana Jones will never do Jackie or Riddick stuff though. The darkness was brutal on the eyes and ears lol.
The Darkness was an underrated gem. Fantastic lore and Mike patton from Faith No More voicing the darkness is up there with the great video game voice overs imo.
While new chapters or remakes would be great; it is nice to see the classics get some love. Amazon’s Prime Gaming is amping up the nostalgia this summer by offering Amazon Prime members a selection of free classic LucasArts games for PC.
