After 13 years, modders have revived the canceled multiplayer shooter Star Wars: First Assault, which was supposed to pave the way for Battlefront 3

Canceled in 2013 along with the infamous Star Wars 1313, the multiplayer first-person shooter Star Wars: First Assault from LucasArts received a new life 13 years later thanks to fans.

Star Wars: First Assault was supposed to be beta tested on Xbox Live at the end of 2012, but due to the buyout of Lucasfilm by Disney (and the subsequent dissolution of LucasArts), the tests never took place.

After 13 years, a group of Star Wars: Battlefront modders have restored the previously leaked beta version of Star Wars: First Assault and organized the failed testing (see the hour and a half gameplay video from iamashaymin below).

A remake of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is still in development

Saber Interactive continues to work on the remake of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. Studio head Tim Willits spoke about this in an interview with IGN.

Willits said the game was not cancelled, but he could not provide any details. The head of the company limited himself to literally one sentence: “Yes, it is still in development, but that’s all I can say.” Despite the fact that the game was announced back in 2021, there is still no information about it.

According to rumors, the remake is being developed by the Mad Head Games studio under the supervision of Saber Interactive. Initially, the game was entrusted to Aspyr, but the quality of the product did not satisfy the publisher. The same source reports that after the remake of the first game, a re-release of the sequel may also be released.

Star Wars: Galactic Racer will show the racing of the future - NVIDIA shows off next-generation footage

NVIDIA has released fresh footage from Star Wars: Galactic Racer, showcasing what modern technology can do in fast-paced racing across the Star Wars universe. The game is designed to take advantage of the full potential of NVIDIA graphics solutions, including DLSS 4.5, Ray Reconstruction and ray tracing with Lumen.

If all goes according to plan, Star Wars: Galactic Racer will be one of the most entertaining games in the franchise in years and a new benchmark for racing with cutting-edge graphics.

From spider legs to Nightsister magic, Maul's many mechanical limbs

The galaxy can be a dangerous place, where lightsaber duels, blaster shots and dangerous creatures are commonplace. Losing a limb is a high risk for any galactic citizen (just remember how many characters have lost an arm, including Luke Skywalker!).

What about Mol? His life of crime led him to create and reassemble his cybernetic prosthetics more than once. Ahead of his triumphant return in the upcoming animated series Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord, premiering on Disney+ April 6, 2026 (two episodes), let's take a closer look at how the former Lord of Shadows href="https://www.starwars.com/databank/sith">Sith found himself in this situation, step by step.

Canceled Star Wars game is now available to play

When Disney acquired Lucasfilm and acquired the rights to Star Wars, the studio stopped developing various projects, including a major video game that reappeared 13 years later.

As reported by Time Extension, the game Star Wars: First Assault is currently available online. For those unfamiliar with the game, First Assault is a multiplayer Star Wars game that was canceled just months before its scheduled release. Developed by LucasArts, the game was intended for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. A video of the game running on Xbox Live was leaked online in 2015.

Kathleen Kennedy reveals an important detail about Grogu's character development in The Mandalorian and the character of Grogu himself.

He won't speak.

The galaxy's most adorable 50-year-old, popularly known as Baby Yoda and officially Grogu, will make his big screen debut in The Mandalorian and Grogu, which hits theaters May 22. Ahead of the film's premiere, former Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy, in an interview with Variety, revealed an interesting detail about the development of Grogu's character in the upcoming film.

Kennedy said that in the new film, Grogu will not be speechless. This news comes after years of speculation about whether Grogu would speak backwards like Yoda, or whether he would speak in a normal voice like other characters in the Star Wars universe. It looks like The Mandalorian and Grogu won't answer that question.

The status of the anticipated Star Wars game about the Old Republic has been updated

Five years ago, Lucasfilm officially announced a remake of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, which was already scheduled to be released. However, development was delayed.

At the end of last year, it became known that Mad Head Games, the studio that created Hellraiser: Revival, had joined the development. But specific details were scarce. In an interview with IGN the lead creative director of Saber Interactive Tim Willits reported that the project is in production, despite the announcement of Fate of the Old Republic.

Yes, development is still ongoing. That's all I can say.

Willits did not say when exactly to expect the game. Probably not anytime soon.
