The new MMO Zenimax is working on could possibly, maybe, conceivably, be a Mandalorian MMO

We all know they've been working on one for several years but new rumors from usually reliable XBOX rumorists (is that a word?) are saying that it's set in the Star Wars universe and more specifically with a Mandalorian tie-in.

Massively reported on that a couple of days ago based on rumors reported by Comicbook Gaming.

Let the rumor hype begin.

    I hope it's more about being set in that time which seems to be a pretty cool time...

    But the regular Star Wars games are already either Jedi/Sith, or some sort of Bounty Hunter aka Mandalorian.

    Are you saying they're making half a Star Wars game ? No Jedi/Sith, only Bounty Hunters ?

    Well, whilst I would desperately love a new Star Wars MMORPG, I don't think Zenimax would make one that I would enjoy.


    I'm much more interested in the new Star Wars RPG being built Massive Entertainment (The Division devs). That has some real potential, as long as they don't make it all about loot.

    No idea. I haven't seen anyone speculating or creating rumors about the details yet.

    Whatever it is the thing has been in development long enough now that I do expect a reveal soonish... like at this year's Quakecon or maybe even before.

    It wouldn't be half a Star Wars game. It would be a game focused on a particular element of the Star Wars setting from a playable character perspective. The remainder of the setting would still be there to serve as a contextualizing backdrop.

    Any form of entertainment built on a big franchise has the same problem with its icons. How much should an older Batman appear in Gotham, how much should Marvel supers appear in Agents of Shield, how much should Jedi appear in Star Wars?

    These big hitters both in terms of popularity and power level can cause all sorts of balancing problems and even detract from the popularity of the main protagonist who are not supers etc.

    Quite simply, if you want to have stories built on the rest of the IP's universe minimise their presence as much as you can.

    SW certainly have the right idea here, get the most from the icons and without them. But can a game appear without Jedi, well maybe? Games particularly MMO like games like to bundle everything they can in for maximum content and player appeal. They even nab themes and characters from other franchises to guest star in their game! So I am not sure the game will be without the Jedi/Sith.

    This could be better as a small server multiplayer game like FO76 or Conan Exiles rather than an MMO. Whatever they're working on I hope they offer the ability to self-host servers rather than only hosted options.
    I agree about the smaller multiplayer, but not modeled after survival sandboxes imo.  Less chopping trees, more jetpacking and shooting blaster pistols.

    At least not if we're going to be playing as a Mandalorian.

    Such a limited scope isn't an mmo.

    Calling everything an mmo today is why the genre is a water downed mess.
