Fans looking for new adventures in the Star Wars universe are in luck. Respawn Entertainment just announced on Twitter this week that a new Star Wars first-person shooter (FPS) game is in the works, led by long-time game developer Peter Hirschmann.

The as-yet-unnamed game is reportedly inspired by recent Star Wars FPS titles like Star Wars: Dark Forces and Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2. Respawn’s official announcement states that the game will be “developed from the ground up leveraging the power of Unreal Engine 5,” a real-time 3-D creation tool. The company set the bar high for the new release, stating, “We’re combining this inspiration and technology with Respawn’s pedigree for making best-in-class shooters to deliver a brand new experience our players will love.”
