Oh look, a Twitter bot leaked a brand new Star Wars game

Ain’t know-how a beaut’? You press one incorrect button and instantly issues simply leak everywhere in the flooring—names and footage and costs and dates largely. This leak, courtesy of a Twitter bot that tracks updates and releases added to the PlayStation Network, has two of the 4. It’s a (attainable) identify and a picture for a brand new Star Wars game that we’re in all probability not meant to learn about but.

The bot “@Psnrelease” has solely been tweeting since final month, starting on February fifth, and has already posted over 800 PSN updates and additions. Presumably the knowledge is pulled from some hidden public endpoint of the shop’s structure. PSN Releases despatched out this replace at the moment for a game referred to as “Maverick” which should have been uploaded to a part of PSN’s system. The textual content alone wouldn’t have meant a lot, however the image included actually offers up the gig.

The game artwork exhibits an enormous honkin’ star destroyer and tiny little X-wing fighters beneath it. Some of the replies to PSN Release’s tweet are speculating a couple of Rogue Squadron game which—as somebody who genuinely has not performed a correct Star Wars game since being a horrible little one pilot on the Nintendo 64—could be fairly neat. We don’t know a dang different factor about Star Wars: Project Maverick, if that’s even it’s true identify.

In a report simply final month, Kotaku claimed that EA presently have two new Star Wars games within the works. One is a sequel to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. The different is outwardly “a smaller, more unusual project” being labored on at EA Motive. Kotaku confirmed at the moment that, in keeping with their data, this Project Maverick is Motive’s venture.

In the meantime, we’ll simply have to attend for EA to correctly acknowledge Maverick earlier than we discover out extra about it.
