Amy Hennig is taking over a Star Wars game. She is known for a lot of great games, more recently the Uncharted series of games. She will lead the development of Visceral Games Star Wars offering.
Some have speculated that this could be a revitalization of Star Wars: 1313. While anything is possible, I think that hope is being reinvigorated because 1313 was similar to Uncharted. However, 1313 moved away from the Uncharted type of game and did not look anything like it at the end of the development process. So unless they rollback the development, that seems unlikely to me. But admittedly, I’m not a video game guy so I could be really wrong.
Lets let the great Amy Hennig tell us about it in her own words. Welcome to Star Wars, Amy!
Very excited to share that I'm joining @VisceralGames as Creative Director on a new Star Wars project! http://t.co/QKGtguaDIr

It's a privilege to have the opportunity to contribute to the Star Wars universe, after it's had such a formative influence on my life.

I vividly remember sitting in a theater with my buddy @MatthewRockloff in 1976, seeing the Star Wars trailer for the first time…

…and feeling like the universe clicked into place for me in that moment.

This opportunity is the confluence of the 2 most influential experiences of my youth, and I couldn't be more excited to go on this journey.

Sorry for the Twitter novel… 140 characters just doesn't cut it in this case. 🙂

If only I worked on a podcast with a video game guy that could write us an article about how exciting this news is…
