In many ways, Mass Effect and Star Wars share a lot of similarities. Both feature aliens, space travel, a threat looming over the galaxy, heroes, villains and a whole lot more. If that got you thinking that having a Han Solo-like figure in the leading role might be a great idea, apparently you’re not the only one. In

The UK-based business publication BusinessFinancing Co conducted a survey of every country in the world to determine the most popular gaming brand in the world. Epic Games took the cake in 141 of the roughly 190 countries surveyed. This is likely thanks to their mega-hit, Fortnite. In 2020, the massively popular free-to-play Battle Royale managed to
Star Wars Battlefront 2 has done what few other games could. Following one of the most tumultuous launches in recent memory, Battlefront 2 and its ecosystem has seen nothing short of a total 180.

The rumored Knights of the Old Republic title is reportedly being developed outside of EA.

Lucasfilm properties have been making headlines this week after all Star Wars games were placed under the Lucasfilm Games banner, followed by Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order receiving a next-gen update, and then yesterday Bethesda and Machine Games announced that they would be working on an untitled Indiana Jones game. It’s a good week to be
Star Wars video games have been making headlines recently as it was announced yesterday that all games under the Star Wars umbrella will now be joined together under the name Lucasfilm Games. While this new change doesn’t alter the deal between Disney and EA, it sure will make it easier to classify and find Star Wars games. Included
Since Lucasfilm and everything that goes along with it was acquired by Disney in 2013, the crew behind the LucasArts team has mostly moved on. Instead, Disney decided to give EA exclusive rights to produce Star Wars games until 2023. Today’s news doesn’t change that deal at all. However, it does make it a bit
As 2020 (thankfully) comes to a close, the DualShockers staff is coming together to share their personal favorite games throughout the year. Unlike our official Game of the Year Awards, each of these lists is meant to reflect which games stood out personally to each of our staff members. Additionally, any game — not just
Fortnite is no stranger to huge events. Groups like BTS have debuted music videos and movies like Tenet from Christopher Nolan have released trailers within the game.

The past few years have been pretty good for Star Wars fans, especially with the recent debut of The Mandalorian: Season 2 on Disney+.

EA’s Star Wars: Squadrons has been doing well for itself since launching last month. Obviously, it wasn’t the critical hit the company was probably hoping for. That said, the first-person dogfighter has built a solid audience and sold a fair share of copies in its launch month. And now, the team is dropping two free
Minecraft has had a busy last few months. First, Mojang revealed the next big title update that’s set to come in 2021. Then, Minecraft Dungeons added cross-platform play to its Diablo-lite offerings.

The world of cosplay is an amazing and exciting place to be apart of, even if you’re just an outsider looking in at all the talent and recognizing your favorite character strutting around in front of you. It’s a tough business too, constantly pushing yourself to be the best not to mention how much work
As much as I love so many things about Star Wars–its universe, characters, and story–one of the most memorable elements of the series to me has always been its space battles and ships. Take it from someone that spent countless time building a Y-Wing (my personal favorite ship) out of LEGO and playing with X-Wing and
Since the game’s release last week on PS4 and PC, Fall Guys fan art has taken the internet by storm. Alongside the already confirmed crossovers including Hotline Miami and Half-Life, fans and corporations have taken it into their own hands to create possible future skins for its wacky Beans. After scouring Twitter and other parts
I’ll be perfectly honest, the idea for this piece came from the book Designing Games by Tynan Sylvester. Sylvester is one of my favorite developers; he worked on BioShock Infinite, admittedly my least favorite entry in the series, and then went on to found Ludeon Studios, the developers behind RimWorld. His book has little to do with the games he

While EA has had some missteps with the franchise over the years, the publisher seems to be getting back on the high ground with their Star Wars titles after the success of Jedi: Fallen Order, its single-player-focused Star Wars story. This fall, we’ll see the publisher take on a single and multiplayer title in the form of
For the past several years, EA has had control of creating official games set in the Star Wars universe, to mixed results. The publisher experienced some severe backlash with its multiplayer-focused Battlefront titles, while rebounding with a single-player, story-focused campaign in the form of Respawn’s Jedi: Fallen Order. Now, for the publisher’s next Star Wars experience, developer EA Motive is

The saga around Star Wars 1313 development is long and troubled. LucasArts formerly revealed the game at E3 in 2012. The team planned to make a gritty, mature take on the seedy underbelly of the Star Wars universe. However, Disney purchased the Star Wars property and subsequently terminated the game. Before 1313 was officially canceled,
