Disney Shuts Down LucasArts, Cancels Star Wars 1313 And Star Wars: First Assault

Staff were involved of the shutdown this morning, according to a reliable Kotaku source. Some 150 people were laid off, and both of the studio's current projects--Star Wars: First Assault and Star Wars 1313--were cancelled. (Industry, LucasArts, Star Wars 1313)

This is very sad news...
I was hoping Disney where going to expand the star wars series.
dedicatedtogamers  +   632d ago
This comes as no surprise. Lucasarts hasn't been making good games since...oh, wow. I can't remember the last good game they made. It has been a loooong while.

To be fair, they may be closing the studio to make room for something better. Star Wars licensed games sell well enough. Disney may have something else in mind.
Black-Rock-Shooter  +   632d ago
Does not change the fact that they had to cancel those games could have continued them somewhere else.

EDIT: Also I hope those people that have lost there jobs find new work.

With all the positive press this title has already gotten I'm sure one of the big publishers won't hesitate in snatching this up. Oh how I wish Sony would buy it though.

Lucas Rep Says Star Wars 1313 Might Be Saved Through Licensing

"It is worth noting that we are looking for proven external partners who can help us provide video games to our fans. We still believe in the video game industry, we still will provide Star Wars games, we're just looking at different models rather than internal production... They're evaluating everything. There's always a possibility that it [Star Wars 1313] can still come out via licensing."

Need I remind anyone that Lucasart's last game was Star Wars Kinect? A title that was shown off three years ago at Microsoft's E3 and ended up like...welll...Star Wars Kinect. Before that was the incredibly mediocre Force Unleashed 2, and before that was the okay but overhyped Force Unleashed. Am I missing something here? The talent left LucasArts a long time ago.

Star wars kinect was bad, the Force Unleashed could have been better, kotor has way dated mechanics...Honestly I don't think I've ever played a GREAT Star Wars game.. I'd rather just play Mass Effect because it's closer to the actual Star Wars feel than anyone has got with an actual Star Wars game.

Republic Commando, Empire at War, X-Wing vs Tie Fighter, Lego Star Wars, The entire Jedi Knight series. These are all excellent Star Wars games.

More importantly though, we'll never see a sequel to The Grim Fandango now and that makes my soul die a little.

My favorites
were the Rogue squadron series and Lego SW games.

Force unleashed isnt all that bad but it could have been so much more than it was.

I was really looking forward to 1313 but if disney is making new movies then there is a chance the games will be based off those instead.

Perhaps some of the lucas talent will find homes with another top notch developer like naughty dog or others.
Reibooi  +   632d ago
This kinda annoys me. As mentioned it has been awhile since LucasArts made a really good game but I think I know why it bothers me.

Firstly is the legacy of the studio. I mean they may be a shadow of what they used to be now but they used to be one of the best studios in the industry making some of the most intelligent and funny games ever.

Second Star Wars 1313 looked great and I'm not just talking about visually. While it did look stunning it also looked like they were taking inspiration from the right places and had it come out as intended it may have been the game that put them back in a much more positive light. This just could be me hoping for something more then what was happening but that kinda goes back to what I mentioned above. It's a shame. I wonder if anything similar to the games cancelled will be made via the new method Disney seems set on.

We were likley never going to see another Grim Fandango. In fact I would bet it's more likely to see one now. Tim Schaffer likes to own the rights to his games. Hence why he bought the rights to Brutal Legend back. Now that the Studio won't be making games it's Possible Double Fine will be able to buy the rights to some of the older LucasArts stuff like Grim Fandango because Disney likely cares only of the Star Wars stuff.

They are going to LICENSE the game out.

Which can work, and also usually doesn't work.

Luckily Star Wars is such a known thing, it may be easier for others to make such a game compared to other franchises, but still.

What it means is 1313 isn't going to be made. First Assault isn't going to be made.

The studio has been disbursed and as they said (maybe as an update) in the article, the chances are effectively zero anyone will pick them up and be able to get those people making it to finish it.

What this also means is that if Disney licensed a game to be made, we're about two or so years from it being released. Probably late 2015. Sad, I was looking forward to a game in late 2013, and perhaps first assault sometime in 2014.

To me this is the lowest of the lowest. I was really excited for 1313 and because Disney has nothing on there mind but making money its ruined. You have to have passion and love to make great games that take devs sometimes a half of a decade to make but they do it out of the end product for the smiles from us gamers. What this tells me is Disney could care one less about us and will never ever see another penny, nickel, dime etc. From me. Sad day.

I couldn't care less if they expand the Star Wars series. George Lucas killed it himself. JJ Abrams might make a decent SW movie but I'd rather he stuck to Trek. Joss Whedon should have done SW. Anyway, I just want someone to make updated versions of X-Wing, Tie Fighter, and X-Wing vs Tie Fighter. PSN vs XBL, one side can be the rebels and one side can be the empire. It would be epic, though I know cross platform play would be highly unlikely.

What sucks is that those 150 people are going to have to find a new job, which often means moving far away, and arranging for your family to do so also. I'm hoping that this isn't the case for most of these guys, who have been constrained by awful management and awkward, inconsequential projects for years. It's not their fault, it was their higher-ups.

But "Lucas should never have sold to Disney?" Lucas had older Star Wars fans just waiting for a new franchise offering that wasn't geared only toward kids, and hardly anything worked. At least they're trying now. And the same applies to their software branch...

Lucasarts was sitting on a goldmine of previous IP, stuff that had long-standing fans (not as long as Star Wars, but quite the same) and what did they do? Not too much in the past ten or so years. They made TFU, which would have been awesome with more money and time put into it, but oh well, it was a "meh" franchise instead, trying to be Uncharted and failing. It took them until 2009 to make any of their adventure games compatible with current PC hardware (finally getting on Steam), and that was just a couple of games, no more. Where was a new Day of the Tentacle, or at least something in the Maniac Mansion series? That would have taken so little in resources compared to their giant, lumbering TFU projects. And they'd have made a decent profit. But no, they sat on all of that IP, doing diddly-squat, burning millions on tepid Star Wars games.

The best move they made was giving Monkey Island to Telltale - that new series was nice. And this is why it's good news; Disney will be selling the licenses to these games, and I hope, beyond hope, that Telltale will pick up Full Throttle and reboot the thing.

They killed Junction Point...whose release of Epic Mickey 2 was measured as a commercial failures when attached to the development/marketing budget/s.

They killed LucasArts, a studio that hasn't been profitable and only had one title on the horizon that likely wouldn't have put it back in the black.

Honestly, Disney's decision to shutdown studios is not a difficult one to understand. In an effort to wisely control the cash-flow, they remove the cash-hemorrhaging studios and streamline processes.

While I can honestly say that my nostalgia has taken a square kick in the nuts, I understand the business behind the decision/s. Shrewd though it may be, it will payoff in the long run to both Disney and the quality of licensed games we see coming out in the future.
KwietStorm  +   632d ago
Therein lies the problem in corporate world. They made the decision to buy the company in the first place, and instead of turning it around, the best decision is to kill it completely, and shortly after the purchase. And the talented people there who are now out of a job, had no say in any of it.
sarshelyam  +   632d ago
Again, you assume they bought it with intent to "turn it around". I'd say it was part of the deal, and in that they had to evaluate the longevity of a company that hasn't made a profit in quite some time...in fact...they were hemorrhaging money on a project that had a floating release.

As for the 150 people without a job...a ripple in the Force, certainly, but they're all talented and will find work suitable for their skills soon enough.

The end result is that instead of a company that hasn't been delivering content to their fans, they will own the property and projects and license it out to fresh development studios with new ideas and re-invigorate the franchise...something LucasArts has failed to do. I love Force Unleashed, but lets be frank...everything Star Wars related under their helm in the last 10-odd years have been squandered money-grabs that truly haven't captured the potential nor the imagination of the franchise.

I see only a bright future here for Star Wars games. I see new and more risky endeavors LucasArts wasn't willing to take. I see a burgeoning market leveraged by Disney dollars and shrewd business decisions that will allow for the growth of a beloved franchise.

Basically Disney saw the crap they were putting out or relying on and decided it would be more profitable to develop SW games in house with their own teams.

Lucas Arts is partly to blame for this as the article stated they relied to heavily on the SW franchise, bleeding it to death.Where was that great Indiana Jones concept game that was shown all those years ago at GDC/E3?

What about Maniac Mansion, Grim Famdango, LOOM!?!

Anyways it is a sad day for the bay area, Lucas Arts has been a huge staple in the video game community and SF Presidio.

First Young Justice and now this...

1313 may have looked good in concept but who knows how it actually played. Not to mention you have to look at all previous Lucas games. Except for the first SW:Unleashed the rest bombed. I wouldn't be surprised if the two projects Lucas was currently working on was bleeding the company even more money.

Lucas is now apart of a global trillion dollar soul-less machine and all inefficiencies will be cut with extreme prejudice.

Star Wars 1313 was a conceptualized floating target. There was no window of release. It looked great, but it certainly wasn't the title that would have been LucasArts Phoenix rising.

That said, they still believe 1313 could be maintained through licensing ventures...but it's tough to say it will remain the same game, or if it will even happen. Time will tell.

They will find work, there's no question they aren't talented folks...but LucasArts made some incredibly poor decisions that put the studio in this position. Star Wars 1313 was a promise that nobody could guarantee as a success.

PS, after reading the article (briefly) it appears that what they've done has merely shifted all future games to be externally developed (aka licenced) rather than internally developed. (which takes the risks out of disneys hands, and into those making the games)

Correct me if im wrong, isn't this a good thing? (besides the current project being cancelled)
Placing the responsibility on those actually in charge of releasing the final game(s) seems logical.

And if our most recent Star Wars games are any indication, something did certainly need a changin'

Am I right?
Isn't there now more potential for studios to do a linenced Star Wars game? (or is not how it works?)

Ummmm No. Now that Disney owns LucasArts, responsible for anything and everything Star Wars related, they now control what gets developed and what doesn't. Now that they've laid off almost the entire LucasArts staff, and shifted the company, or what's left of them, to a licensing model, all current projects are cancelled.

Basically means, Disney now will use everything Star Wars gaming related to their advantage (ie. merchandising, mobile games/apps, tie-ins with other Disney IP's-Infinity), instead of making actual Star Wars games for consoles/PCs....unless they license the Star Wars name to another development studio to make a new Star Wars game (But that was LucasArts, so why would they close them just to hire a new studio to continue making Star Wars games??).

Yeah, obviously that's whats next for Disney is to look at their options and see who can continue to create great Star Wars games on the consoles and PCs (Not Gearbox Please!) and there is still about a 13.13% chance we may see one or both of those Star Wars games in the future. It's just really upsetting Disney would do this to this many hard working people, whose lives revolved around Star Wars....just to be laid off so Disney can make more money in licensing fees.

Thanks for clearifying.


Because they don't want to "hire" the studios - they want the studios to take the risk themselves.. Greedy, sure.

But won't this give the studios more freedom in their development?

A licenced Star wars game could potentially be much better than anything made under Disneys' supervision (under Lucasarts).

Don't get me wrong, I don't love Disney, nor greedy companies. But I do have faith that ginormous companies, like Disney, are big for a reason - they're excellent at making money....

And I also strongly believe there are boat loads of cash in Star Wars videos games.

So, I've mixed feelings. Cause Disney is still doing what I'd expect of them - $$$.

Why would they close LucasArts in favor of licensing it out to other studios? Because LucasArts hasn't managed to create a compelling or profitable Star Wars release in many years.

This is a shrewd move on Disney's part, but the rewards are to be paid in fresh studios with interest in the property making new Star Wars games that LucasArts simply sat on and conceptualized.

The writing was on the wall way back when Haden Blackman left the Force Unleashed II project...a project he began the writing for, nearly two years ago.

Whether you see it or not, this was a good move for Disney that opens up the franchise to more games with fresh visions by talented studios.

My heart, however, goes out to the 150 effected by the layoffs. I have the utmost respect for them all and believe they will find work with relative haste. Naughty Dog is hiring! So is Epic!

I wouldn't say that, Star Wars kinect was a Disney game anyway. Just seems the GOOD Star Wars games are through.

i still think we will see star wars games just licensed out to other developers

Are you crazy? Star Wars games are an absolute gold mine if done properly, they of-course will be licensing out the Star Wars IP to other third party developers. If anything, this should mean that we get MORE Star Wars games and possibly some that will be greater than anything LucasArts could have produced. That is just a hope though...
