The Force Unleashed 3 Already Canceled?
We all know that The Force Unleashed 2 is coming out in a few months, but did you know that The Force Unleashed 3 was in the works? The important word there is "was," because if the rumors are true, the project has been canceled before it was even revealed.
According to Kotaku, the project was axed by new LucasArts president Paul Meegan, along with another unannounced title. This follows the departure of Haden Blackman, the former executive producer on the title. Apparently, even more members of the Force Unleashed team are going lose their jobs once TFU 2 ships.
If things are looking bad for internal development at LucasArts, it's nothing compared to external development; Meegan is also allegedly putting a stop to external studios working on LucasArts' properties. This would mean that after BioWare's MMO The Old Republic, we wouldn't see any more KOTOR titles, nor additional LEGO games made by Traveller's Tales.
We can only hope that these decisions make some kind of sound financial sense on paper, because from where we stand, these rumors don't point to a successful or healthy game developer.
