Unseen Footage Reveals Cancelled Star Wars Action RPG Magellan
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Newly leaked footage reveals Star Wars: Magellan, a cancelled multiplayer action RPG from Echtra Games featuring Jedi and Mandalorian classes with shoot and loot gameplay.
Freshly surfaced concept art and gameplay footage offer a rare look at Star Wars: Magellan, an ambitious multiplayer action RPG that was quietly cancelled following the closure of developer Echtra Games. First brought to light via MP1st through artist portfolios, the project was being built alongside NaturalMotion for PC and current gen consoles as a follow up to Star Wars Hunters. Players would have stepped into the boots of distinct classes like the Exiled Mandalorian and the Hunted Jedi, tackling shoot and loot combat against familiar foes.
Magellan looked to blend traditional Star Wars atmosphere with modern loot driven progression, featuring jetpack mobility, lightsaber deflection, and an NPC bond system designed to deepen companion interactions. Gameplay clips showcase classic action RPG tropes like explodable barrels alongside standard Imperial opposition, painting a picture of a project that had real momentum before Zynga pulled the plug last year. It joins a long lineup of ambitious Star Wars games that never made it to the finish line.
While the cancellation stings for fans hoping for a new cooperative galaxy to explore, the timing highlights the volatile nature of modern game development, where even major intellectual properties face sudden restructuring. Developers and players alike are left wondering what could have been, though the broader franchise pipeline continues to roll forward across screens and streaming platforms alike.
