An as-of-yet unannounced Star Wars game from EA has accidentally been leaked by none other than the PlayStation Network. Seemingly entitled “Star Wars: Project Maverick,” the leak is nothing more than an image, but it’s nice to see.
The leak was spotted by Twitter account PSN Releases, and the image appears to show a flight of X-Wings approaching a Star Destroyer.
Sources close to Kotaku have confirmed that whatever this mysterious Star Wars project is, it’s currently in development at EA Motive.
With the image being found on the PlayStation Network, we could be seeing an official reveal in the coming weeks, so prepare yourselves!
In other Star Wars news, Disney is now setting its sights on the iconic Knights of the Old Republic – but not as we know it.
It’s rumoured that the House of Mouse will take the era of the KotR games and turn them into something a little more Disney friendly: apparently both a movie and a television series are planned for its new streaming platform, Disney+.
The rumour comes from unnamed sources close to the project who spread word to FandomWire. As always with rumours like these, take them with a pinch of salt.
This time around, the idea might not be too far-fetched though. Just last year, we reported that a Knights of the Old Republic movie was coming, adding fuel to these new rumours.
At the time the head of Lucasfilm, Kathleen Kennedy said in an interview with MTV: “You know, we talk about [Knights of the Old Republic] all the time.
“Yes, we are developing something to look at. Right now, I have no idea where things might fall, but we have to be careful that there is a cadence to Star Wars that doesn’t start to feel like too much.
“We don’t have a crystal ball, you know, we tried a little bit with ‘Solo’ to see if we could do two movies a year and whether or not there really was an opportunity for that, and we felt that’s not going to work. So, we back off of that a little bit. But it doesn’t mean we don’t think about lots of different stories, because that’s the exciting thing about this universe.”
Watch this space…
