Massive Entertainment Promises A Huge 2023, Could They Release Their 'Star Wars' Game?
It looks like 2023 will finally be the year for that Star Wars game from Ubisoft’s Massive Entertainment. Announced nearly two years ago, it’s been the kind of quiet where even the faintest squeaks can startle. This could even be considered one of those squeaks.
On New Year’s Day, Ubisoft creative director Julian Gerighty, who also serves as creative director on the Star Wars game, tweeted out Happy New Year wishes, claiming 2023 was going to be a huge year for the company. It’s accompanied by the same 2021 image of the white Star Wars logo with the participating game companies’ logos below them.

Still no title, and no characters, but there’s a lot of 2023 real estate to play with. It being the one image used does seem like a promise that the game will be released within the year, set up to be the year’s big project to have a victory lap about and hype. It’s still reportedly an open-world game running on the company’s Snowdrop engine and will be character-focused. Gerighty was previously the director on Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 and The Crew.
However, what else might be referred to that will make the year so huge for the company is another licensed game based on a former Fox movie franchise, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, which was delayed from its 2022 release in July. The message seems to imply that it too will be a 2023 release, if to reinforce those “huge year” claims.
It’s also been reported it might be for early next year. While no other new games have been announced yet, these two probably make a good one-two punch for sales, and still have new game announcements on top of it to make the year so big.
