According to Kotaku, three separate sources “familiar with game development at LucasArts” have said that the game has been put on hold.
The news, should it be true, comes following Disney’s buyout of Star Wars maker Lucasfilm in November 2012. Though this is purely speculation, it may be that Disney’s plans do not currently have room for Star Wars 1313’s vision.
As far as LucasArts is concerned, the developer is denying that work has stalled on the game. "LucasArts has been working diligently to take advantage of the tremendous opportunities that the new Star Wars movies present," says the studio.
"Star Wars 1313 continues production."
Back when Disney bought LucasFilm, CEO Robert Iger said, "We're likely to focus more on social and mobile than we are on console." It’s another scrap of evidence that may support the report.
For now, however, until we get a release date, further preview access, or hell even a platform, we’ll have to wait and see.
