Newly surfaced footage reveals Star Wars: Magellan, a canceled cooperative action RPG that was being developed by Echtra Games before its shutdown in 2025.
As reported by Game Rant, unreleased footage of a canceled Star Wars action RPG has surfaced online, offering a fascinating look at a project known as Star Wars: Magellan. The game was reportedly being developed by Echtra Games before being scrapped ahead of the studio's shutdown in 2025, likely due to a strategic realignment within parent companies Zynga and Take-Two.
The leaked footage reveals a class based action RPG experience where players could choose between The Hunted Jedi and The Exiled Mandalorian, each featuring distinct weapons, gear, and combat abilities. Players would wield lightsabers, blasters, and Force powers while fighting through waves of droids and Stormtroopers. The project also leaned heavily into cooperative multiplayer and featured an NPC Bond system heavily inspired by Persona and its signature Social Link mechanics.
While the cancellation is a disappointing reminder of how volatile game development can be, the Star Wars gaming ecosystem remains vast. Between recent hits like the Jedi series and Outlaws, alongside upcoming titles, the galaxy far, far away continues to be a massive playground for players across console, PC, and cloud platforms.
