The saga aroundStar Wars 1313development is long and troubled. LucasArtsformerly revealed the gameat E3 in 2012. The team planned to make a gritty, mature take on the seedy underbelly of theStar Warsuniverse. However, Disney purchased theStar Warsproperty andsubsequently terminatedthe game. Before1313was officially canceled, it was heavily rumored that players would be stepping into the shoes of Boba Fett, the galaxy’s most famous bounty hunter. A newly leaked image seems to point to that, in fact, being the case. Give it a look below.
LifeByTheSwordshared the image on Reddit. It’s unclear where the image originated from, but what it does show looks pretty great. It’s tough to be certain that the character in the image is Boba Fett. That said, it is certainly someone wearing Mandalorian armor, which definitely gives the rumors a bit more credence. You’ll also notice the UI has you using a blaster and what appears to be some type of flamethrower. It’s hard to imagine someone other than a bounty hunter working with that kind of arsenal.
While seeing what could be Boba Fett in the game is undoubtedly cool, the city skyline of presumably Coruscant is what makes me wish the game was real. Outside of theLego Star Warsgames, we haven’t gotten to visit the Imperial Center much in games. With a population that hits over one trillion, the potential for an intricate society full of fun characters is incredible. Mixed with the more mature take on the fiction, it’s easy to imaging how ripe the setting is for an excellent video game.
Unfortunately, we’ll never get that game. TheyabandonedStar Wars 1313along time ago. That said, we got a great addition to theStar Warssaga last year withJedi: Fallen Order. Maybe we can get a game thatreuses a similar themeto1313in the near future.
