Jade Raymond Hiring Developers for a Star Wars Video Game.

Jade Raymond Jade Raymond, best known for producing the original Assassin’s Creed, is currently leading an initiative to hire as many as 27 developers for the Motive Studios and Visceral Studios divisions of Electronic Arts. Raymond outlines the initiative as a way to assist in developing the Amy Hennig-led Star Wars project as production on the game kicks into high gear.

 

From the official Electronic Arts website:

Last year, I wrote that the only limitation we have as game developers is the team’s imagination. I have always believed that to be true. But what’s really hit me since launching Motive last July and growing our team with so many talented people from across the world, is just how exciting and fun working with new people is. There truly is no limit to what’s possible.

Motive Studios is now 65 industry veterans strong, adding more each week, and driven by unbridled creativity to make unforgettable action games. We are well on our way, beginning our journey with a Star Wars game, and exploring ideas for our original IP. It’s really quite amazing to be a part of, and I can’t wait to be able to share more details about Motive’s projects.

Meanwhile, the team at Visceral Games is forging ahead into an exciting phase of development. Seeing Amy Hennig lead this team through the creative process has been incredible. She is a rare breed of storyteller, and she’s collaborating with the creative leaders at Lucasfilm to tell a new, authentic Star Wars story. Backed by the talented Visceral team, Amy and studio GM Scott Probst are taking this project in groundbreaking directions.

Of course, there’s a lot more to the story with each of these projects in our EA Star Wars portfolio, and we’ll be super excited to share more updates in the months ahead.

The Electronic Entertainment Expo is just around the corner (and with it, an EA Play event), so we’ll probably learn a more about EA’s forthcoming slate of Star Wars games next week.

    Wonderful name for Star Wars ( Jade ) but hopefully there will be a game with a campaign.

      From what previous rumors have suggested regarding the title, it’s a single-player only (or single-player focused) game that’s like Uncharted.

    So, besides the Lego game and Bioware’s game, both Visceral Games and Motive Studios are working on new Star Wars projects?

      To my understanding:

      Visceral Games and Motive Studios are working on the same project, which could be a Han Solo game in the style of Uncharted if the rumors are true.

      DICE are focused on releasing the remaining bits of Battlefront DLC and are gearing up for the game’s sequels.

      Warner Brothers Games and Traveller’s Tales are working on the LEGO Star Wars titles.

      BioWare is focused on The Old Republic, but may be quietly developing another game on the side.

    Call me crazy, but I think it’s something related to this:
    https://www.gamecity.ne.jp/omega_new/
    The Japanese word says ‘The baddest in “Warriors” history’, which indicates a new installment of the Warriors series. Could this mean that the new collab is one related to this? Or am I wrong?

      You could be on to something. I think we’ll find out more at E3.

      My guess is that, if it is a Star Wars Dynasty Warriors game, then it will be about Darth Vader.

          No, I’m not sure that it’s a Star Wars game. But it would not surprise me if it were.

      Only thing that doesn’t make sense is Koei Tecmo said that Omega Force is working on an original IP. Does Star Wars count as an original IP?

        Well, it’s an ORIGINAL musou IP, which technically means an IP they didn’t touched before, and if indications are correct, then this may be the game that includes the collab with a famous Western IP.
