LucasArts Restructures, Moves More Development Off-Site

Posted by simoniker on Friday August 13, 2004 @11:53AM from the gunganned-down dept.

Thanks to LucasArts for its press release indicating a significant restructuring of the company's internal development teams. It's explained that "31 people from the development studio were laid off as the company will be concentrating on fewer titles", and GameSpot has further details, noting "the publisher has farmed out development on its as-yet-untitled Episode III game to [recent Indiana Jones developers] The Collective", and "an informed industry source said the team attached to the early stages of development on Knights of the Old Republic 3 was let go in yesterday's layoff." We previously reported on earlier layoffs at LucasArts in April.

LucasArts plans to change its name to "Star Wars Games," awaiting approval by its president, chairman, and majority owner, Satan.

Lucasarts will probably just go away altogether and a real publisher will take over the star wars license. They had lots of talented programmers & artists but jar-jar was running the front office.
