If you happened to be a fan of the Dead Space series, Dante’s Inferno, and the many other games that Visceral Games has worked on in the past, including the previously announced Star Wars title, then we have some bad news for you. Electronic Arts has announced that it will be closing the Visceral Games studio and will be sending “as many of the team as possible” to other projects being worked on by the company.
EA went on to say that they will be shifting the focus of the Star Wars game from being a “story-based, linear adventure” to one that will likely displease many as it will now be a “broader experience.” Thanks to this shift in developer the title, which was originally going to be released sometime in 2019, will now be released at an unannounced time that EA will detail in the future.
