Respawn Entertainment, the studio behind Apex Legends and the Star Wars Jedi series, are reportedly working on a Mandalorian project.
According to the report over at Insider Gaming, the project is still in early development but will be a first-person game in which players will take on the role of a Mandalorian bounty hunter during the Galactic Civil War (the setting of the original trilogy of Star Wars films).
The project will focus on “mobility” and style, according to VentureBeat’s Jeff Grubb. Expect the game to make heavy use of the Mandalorian’s jet pack to allow players to dash horizontally, leap vertically, and boost slide, which is being described as sliding down hills in Apex Legends. The game will emphasize style in its gameplay so much so that health regeneration will primarily reward players who are capable of making kills in quick succession.
Other tools-of-the-trade will be available to the Mandalorian as well, including a significant arsenal of weapons and toys such as the iconic wrist rocket, grappling hook, a visor capable of tagging enemies and more. The game will not be open world and will instead focus on linear levels spread across the Star Wars galaxy.
Are we finally getting the Prey sequel (in spirit, anyways) we were robbed of years ago?
