This is just the Beginning
-
First year of content is about foundation building
- Keeping it simple so we can ramp up over time
- Easier to add content later than do too much too fast and get it wrong
- We consider Star Wars Unlimited ‘evergreen’
- Initial design has already begun on set 7 (Year 3) and concepts have begun through set 9
- We have a 5-year roadmap that builds out additional product types and target audience considerations
- Largest dedicated staff of any game in our studio history.
