Some potentially massive news for gamers and fans of the Galaxy far, Far Away here, as Star Wars Jedi and Apex Legends developer Respawn Entertainment is reportedly in the early stages of development on a first-person-shooter Mandalorian video game.
We don't know if it'll actually be based on The Mandalorian Disney+ series, but Insider Gaming is reporting that the title will "let players control a Mandalorian bounty hunter during a time when the Empire is dominating the galaxy."
We doubt it'll be Din Djarin under the helmet, but that doesn't mean the former bounty hunter turned father figure to Grogu won't make an appearance.
Details are sparse, but the story is said to follow the Mando protagonist as he captures bounties dead or alive for cash rewards.The game will reportedly be focused on “mobility” and “style” as guiding principles.
"The game’s high mobility has been made possible storytelling-wise thanks to the Mandalorian’s jetpack, which allows the player to perform horizontal dashing, vertical jumping, boost sliding (somewhat similar to sliding down hills in Apex Legends), and more. Sources described the game as very fast-pace, and as such will reward players who play in this style; for example, the player’s health will mainly regenerate based on successive kills. As to be expected, playing as a Mandalorian bounty hunter gives the player a wide variety of weapons and gadgets including a wrist rocket, grapple hook, a visor for tagging enemies and bounties, and more."
The untitled game doesn't have a release date, but if this is accurate, we expect an official announcement fairly soon, so be sure to keep an eye on GameFragger.com for updates.
