EA rumored to release Star Wars: Imperial Commando in 2017

Alpha_Cukie then launched into specifics. The game will be revealed at E3 2016 with a roughly three minute long trailer.

• Release will be November 2017.
• It will be released for Microsoft Xbox One, Sony PlayStation 4, Nintendo NX and PC.
• No surprise: The engine will be FrostBite. SW:IC will use FrostBite 4.
• Main focus will be on the campaign, but it will have an multiplayer. CoD like (small maps, fast paced, etc)
• The biggest feature: Coop! SW:IC will deliver the best experience when played by 4 players!
• Each player has unique gadgets and features. The leader (RC-1138) can give orders to the others.
• The HUD and the helmet-view will even be more important than in Republic Commando.
• There will be vehicles, only in some few parts of the game (Halo-like).
• Environment will mostly be destructible and take effect on the world (Shoot some glass in space= everything will get soaked out)
• Since its mostly an storydriven game, it will have a f*ckin huge campaign and a lot of planets of the universe (+20hours).
• There will be an app, that can be used as second screen (like the fallout 4 pippoy) for gadgets/weapons/radar…..

The screenshots are compelling, but this can obviously all be fake. One thing worth noting here is that Alpha_Cukie indicates that the site’s countdown expires on June 15 during EA’s presentation. Here’s the thing… EA’s press conference has always been on Monday. June 15, 2016 is a Wednesday.

Furthermore, the notion that this is being developed for the Nintendo NX might be taking things a bit too far. EA has almost completely deserted Nintendo at this point. They don’t make games for the Wii U, and they haven’t made a big game for the 3DS in a long, long time. I’m not sure they plan on supporting the NX. Not, at least, until the system proves itself as a viable option.

Am I nitpicking here? Maybe. But, when it comes to rumors like these, it’s sometimes the little things that reveal fabrication.

This is a rumor. Treat it as such. It would be cool to see a follow-up on one of the Xbox’s best games, though.
