Speaking to <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/22025391">the BBC</a>, LucasFilm spokesperson Miles Perkins said, "Both current Star Wars games projects have been halted."<br /><br />A LucasArts representative previously indicated to <a href="http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2013/04/03/lucasarts-rep-says-star-wars-1313-might-be-saved.aspx">Game Informer</a> that <em>Star Wars 1313</em> could be released via external licensing. However, <a href="http://kotaku.com/disney-shuts-down-lucasarts-468473749">a Kotaku source</a> told that site the chances of that happening are "effectively zero."<br /><br />"It is worth noting that we are looking for proven external partners who can help us provide video games to our fans," the LucasArts rep told Game Informer. "We still believe in the video game industry, we still will provide Star Wars games, we're just looking at different models rather than internal production... They're evaluating everything. There's always a possibility that it [<em>Star Wars 1313</em>] can still come out via licensing."<br /><br />The last we'd seen of <em>Star Wars 1313</em> was an <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2013/01/17/star-wars-1313-ps3/">"inaccurate" PlayStation Germany posting</a>, which said the game would be available on PS3 this year. Leaked materials indicated <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/10/01/star-wars-first-assault-heading-to-xbla-other-digital-distribu/"><em>Star Wars: First Assault</em></a> as a multiplayer shooter coming to XBLA, although LucasArts had yet to officially confirm the game or any details surrounding it.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2013/04/04/star-wars-1313-halted-says-lucasfilm/">Star Wars 1313 'halted,' says LucasFilm</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Thu, 04 Apr 2013 08:00:00 EST.

The <a href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.501695623202461.104899.108538035851557&amp;type=1">post</a>, which links to a gallery of previously released images, reads "<em>Star Wars 1313</em> erscheint 2013 f&uuml;r PlayStation 3," and you don't need a degree in German to know that says the third-person action game is headed for Sony's home console sometime this year.<br /><br />Developer/publisher LucasArts has kept coy about the platforms, and that, along with the fidelity of <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/06/05/star-wars-1313-gameplay-unveiled/">what was demonstrated</a> at last year's E3, led to speculation that <em>1313 </em>would be for next-gen hardware. Of course, confirmation of it coming to PS3 doesn't exclude it from also being released on the console's successor, or any other systems for that matter.<br /><br /><strong>Update:</strong> LucasArts has confirmed to <a href="http://www.polygon.com/2013/1/17/3886516/star-wars-1313-listed-for-2013-ps3-playstation-germany-facebook">Polygon</a> that the information presented on PlayStation Germany's Facebook page was inaccurate, and that it has no further announcements to make at this time. <em>Well then</em>.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2013/01/17/star-wars-1313-ps3/">Star Wars 1313 coming to PS3 in 2013, says PlayStation Germany [Update: Nope!]</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Thu, 17 Jan 2013 08:15:00 EST.

LucasArts' internally-developed third-person shooter <em>slash</em> Uncharted-esque third-person action game is the very definition of "early" for a game in development. "We're in pre-production," said Craig Derrick, LucasArts producer, ahead of a PC-based demo.<br /><br />Further pushing that point: the team isn't talking platforms just yet, nor engine, indicating to many that it could be headed to Microsoft and Sony's yet-to-be announced console successors. The demo runs on an Nvidia 680 graphics card, which I'm told is the fabled "<a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Kepler/">Kepler</a>" architecture of the next generation. And the game is gorgeous for it. Both in cutscenes and in gameplay, the graphical detail is near-equal to that of Naughty Dog's latest efforts. Again, the game is in <em>pre-production</em>.<br /><br />Credit's due here to LucasArts' Industrial Light &amp; Magic, as well as Skywalker Sound and LucasFilm Animation, who are assisting on the project - no doubt - but few games look anywhere near this good at this point in production.<p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/06/10/star-wars-1313-offers-a-peek-into-our-very-pretty-future/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Star Wars 1313 offers a peek into our very pretty future</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/06/10/star-wars-1313-offers-a-peek-into-our-very-pretty-future/">Star Wars 1313 offers a peek into our very pretty future</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Sun, 10 Jun 2012 14:15:00 EST.

A teaser image for the game reveals what looks like an original trilogy-era shuttle, which may mean the game could take place - at least in part - during the era of everyone's favorite series characters.<br /> <br /> A press release for <em>Star Wars 1313</em> says the game is a third-person cinematic action game, set in "Level 1313, a ruthless criminal underground deep below the surface of the planet of Coruscant," and the player will control "a deadly bounty hunter as he uses an arsenal of exotic weaponry to hunt down his marks and uncover the truth surrounding a criminal conspiracy." LucasArts says the game will emphasize <em>Star Wars</em>' "dark and mature" elements, and show off "a part of the <em>Star Wars</em> mythos that we've always known existed, but never had a chance to visit."<br /> <br /> In other words, it sounds a lot like the <em>Force Unleashed</em> games, but from the perspective of a bounty hunter instead of a Jedi. We'll hear more at E3 next week, no doubt.</div><p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/06/01/star-wars-1313-officially-announced-about-level-1313-on-corusca/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Star Wars 1313 officially announced, about Level 1313 on Coruscant</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/06/01/star-wars-1313-officially-announced-about-level-1313-on-corusca/">Star Wars 1313 officially announced, about Level 1313 on Coruscant</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Fri, 01 Jun 2012 01:47:00 EST.

According to the page (which has been replaced, screenshot above), "E3 begins on GTTV with the <em>Star Wars 1313</em> announcement and new trailers from <em>Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance</em>, <em>Tomb Raider</em>, <em>Guardians of Middle-Earth</em>, <em>Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2</em>, and <em>Dishonored</em>."<br /><br />Most of those we already knew would be getting some coverage at the show next week, but two of those titles are new to our ears: <em>Star Wars 1313</em>, and <em>Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2</em>.<br /><br /><a href="http://joystiq.com/game/star-wars-1313"><em>Star Wars 1313</em></a> is a trademark that's been <a href="http://www.theforce.net/latestnews/story/Star_Wars_1313_145414.asp">bouncing around at LucasFilm</a> for a while, but there's been no official word on just what it might be yet. In the Expanded Universe, Boba Fett <a href="http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/CT-1313">once used the alias "CT-1313,"</a> so the best guess is that it's a new franchise based around Fett's story in some way. <a href="http://StarWars1313.com">StarWars1313.com</a> has also been registered by LucasArts, and currently redirects to the main Star Wars site.<br /><br />And <a href="http://joystiq.com/game/castlevania-lords-of-shadow-2"><em>Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2</em></a> is clearly a sequel to the 2010 title that's <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/04/02/castlevania-lords-of-shadow-producer-teasing-new-game-namedrop/">hardly a big surprise</a> to finally hear about. But it's not any less exciting to see these two big names revealed by GTTV's mistake. We'll obviously find out more about both of these when the official announcements are made.<br /><br /><strong>Update:</strong> <em>Star Wars 1313</em> now <a href="http://www.facebook.com/StarWars1313">has a Facebook page</a>, also apparently leaked before an "announcement." There's a shot and a description on there, both of which we've reprinted after the break. 1313 refers to "Level 1313," a criminal underground on Coruscant (if indeed this page is real), but there is mention of a certain "bounty hunter," so Boba's not out yet.<br /><br /><strong>Update</strong>: <a href="http://www.lucasarts.com/">LucasArts' official site</a> has the shot, logo, and a link to the Facebook page. It's official, this is the new <em>Star Wars</em> game.<br /><br />[Thanks, Jonas]<p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/05/31/star-wars-1313-castlevania-lords-of-shadow-2-titles-leaked-ahe/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Star Wars 1313, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 titles leaked ahead of E3 announcements</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/05/31/star-wars-1313-castlevania-lords-of-shadow-2-titles-leaked-ahe/">Star Wars 1313, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 titles leaked ahead of E3 announcements</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Thu, 31 May 2012 20:55:00 EST.

The company filed for the name "Star Wars 1313" for use with video games, as well as toys, trading cards, sticker books, pencil sharpeners, online social networking services, and anything else that can possibly bear the <em>Star Wars </em>logo.<br /><br />The document contains no indication of what "Star Wars 1313" means; we knew the series was set "a long time ago," but don't know if that translates to 700 years in Earth time. However, a quick <a href="http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/CT-1313">Wookieepedia</a> search reveals "CT-1313" as a name used by Boba Fett in a <em>Star Wars</em> novel. So it could be a Boba Fett-focused thing. <a href="http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Dengar">Dengar's</a> still waiting for his big break.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/05/07/lucasfilm-applies-for-star-wars-1313-trademark/">Lucasfilm applies for 'Star Wars 1313' trademark</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Mon, 07 May 2012 11:00:00 EST.
