Star Wars: Attack Squadrons Has Been Cancelled

It looks like the spiritual successor to one of the betterStar Warsgame mini-series will not even see the light of day. A post on theFacebook pageforStar Wars: Attack Squadronshas indicated that the game has been cancelled, with game representatives thanking their fans who participated in the game’s beta.

"We want to thank all of the fans who participated in the closed beta of Star Wars: Attack Squadrons.After much consideration, we have decided to cease development so that we can focus on other Star Wars game experiences.We truly appreciate the time you spent engaging in the beta."

A free-to-playStar Warsgame has not signified anything of greatnessin recent years, so Disney may have wanted to focus on their grander-scale games. With EA Canadareportedly working on an open-world title with Visceral Games, EA DICE working onStar Wars: Battlefrontand other games thatwon’t be movie tie-ins, there’s a lot of creative gaming opportunities to be made.

While I would have loved to see a properStar Wars-related flight action game like aRogue Squadronor aTie Fighter-type game,Attack Squadronsbeing cancelledseems to be one of those unfortunate, tough decisions that have to be made for the better development of other future games. It’s not as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced, or anything.
