One of the biggest pieces of gaming news this year will surely be the closure of Visceral Games and the re-tooling of the developer's mysterious Star Wars game that was being made under the direction of Uncharted director Amy Hennig. While much has already been said on the topic, it was brought up again today during the latest EA earnings call.
EA CEO Andrew Wilson discussed the decision to close Visceral and spoke generally about why the developer wanted to "pivot" the unannounced game's design to better mesh with player expectations and industry trends. As announced previously, this game is not being canceled, though development is shifting to EA Vancouver and it sounds like it is going in a different direction than the previous iteration.
