Star Wars: First Assault was a video game in development at LucasArts. It was canceled due to the closure of LucasArts after The Walt Disney Company's purchase of Lucasfilm.
Description
Edit
Star Wars: First Assault was a multiplayer-focused Star Wars video game.[2][3] The domain name for StarWarsFirstAssault.com, which is currently empty, was registered by LucasArts' parent company, Lucasfilm Ltd.[4] The trademark for the product relates to "interactive entertainment software." This has in turn made several gaming sites such as GameSpy.com and IGN.com speculate that the then-upcoming product was indeed another LucasArts video game.[4][5][2] Kotaku.com has speculated that it would be a title for the Xbox 360 on the downloadable arcade, and would feature gameplay similar to the Battlefront series.[6]
DevelopmentEdit
Richard Lim created concept art for the game which featured conflicts between Rebel troopers and stormtroopers.[7] Additionally, Tim Temmerman served as a Systems Designer on the project.[8]
