French video game company, Ubisoft announced that its Swedish studio Massive Entertainment is making an open-world video game that will be set in the 'Star Wars' universe.
The studio behind 'The Division' is making a game set in a galaxy far, far away.
According to The Verge, there are no details on when the game will launch, on what platforms, or what slice of the 'Star Wars' universe it will explore.
This game will be built using Ubisoft's own Snowdrop engine, best known as the tech behind 'The Division' series.
Earlier this week, Disney rebranded its game division to Lucasfilm Games for what it described as "a new era." Lucasfilm Games VP Douglas Reilly said, "We're really proud of the games we have created with EA." He continued, "We will continue working with them and our relationship has never been stronger.
While we may not have a lot of details to share at the moment, we've got a number of projects underway with the talented teams at EA." Previously, EA was the main developer behind blockbuster 'Star Wars' titles, which resulted in games like the 'Battlefront' reboot open-world adventure 'Jedi: Fallen Order', and last year's space combat game Squadrons.
As per The Verge, Disney says that the relationship will continue even as other developers work on Star Wars games as well.

Disney to Ban Visitors , Who Lie About Disabilities.
The Walt Disney Company says that there has
been an uptick in fraudulent disability claims at
its parks from people attempting to gain Disability Access Services (DAS), 'New York Post' reports. .

difficulty tolerating extended waits in a
conventional queue environment due to a disability.â.
The website has since been updated to read, , âDAS is intended to accommodate a small
percentage of Guests who, due to a developmental disability like autism or similar, are unable to wait in a conventional queue for an extended period or time.â.
At Walt Disney World, âin-person registration will no longer be available at theme park Guest Relations locations starting May 20, 2024,â Disney said.
Instead, DAS registrations will
take place via virtual video chat. .
However, at Disneyland, guests can
apply for DAS via either virtual chat or an
"accessibility services" window beginning June 18. .
Anyone who currently has DAS will be required to re-apply, 'New York Post' reports.
