Electronic Arts recently announced that it has decided to restructure. Some projects are being wound down, and some specialists are being laid off.
This has raised concerns about the company's projects, such as those created under the Star Wars franchise. Strategy fans are particularly worried: in early 2022, Electronic Arts announced a Star Wars strategy game, and fears arose that this project would also eventually be canceled.
The developer of this Star Wars game is Bit Reactor, working in collaboration with the well-known studio Respawn.
Bit Reactor responded to the rumors and addressed the community on social media, assuring that development of the project continues and EA's restructuring has not affected it.
Bit Reactor was formed by former lead developers from Firaxis who previously worked on the XCOM and Civilization series. The studio is headed by Greg Foertsch, formerly an art director at Firaxis.
It is not yet entirely clear when the new Star Wars project might be released.
