Star Wars First Assault is a Mysterious XBLA Title

Someone has been digging around behind the scenes of Xbox.com and turned up XBLA “cover art” for a whole bunch of unreleased games. Nestled amongst it all is a cover for something called Star Wars First Assault.

The discovery suggests that a new Star Wars First Assualt is headed to XBLA in the near future. It’s not the first time we’ve heard about the game, of course. Back in August the name was registered by LucasArts as "interactive entertainment software."

What we don't know is anything about what the game is or how it plays. Not a single thing.

Now, all of this would suggest that LucasArts are on the verge of an announcement, but it looks like they’re in no hurry. When contacted about the game, the company said, “It is an exciting time at our company right now, however we don’t have any announcements at this time.”

So there ya go. Have a look at all the other unnanounced and unreleased games here.

  • I was hoping for a Tie Fighter game... this is probably gonna end up as a Gears of Star Wars, judging by the cover. /sadface
  • *Waves hand* This is not the Star Wars game we are waiting for.
  • Can never have enough Star Wars games.
  • An what this means is whoring the longest franchise in history!! if the cover art is anything to go by could be a fps cod style star wars game
  • Lets hope it's a Star Wars Battlefront type of game. If so I hope there is an offline multiplayer mode, I always enjoyed it more than the online.
  • I'll wager that it's a Contra style side scroller.
  • I hope it's a strategy game. A fantastic genre that gets crucified regularly, but hell, it's niche and I like it, plus Star Wars has a great universe, so it's hopefully viable.
  • One could wish this was a battlefront game... One really could... I still do... :(
  • @5 and 8, Don't hold your breath. If it was a Battlefront style game it would say Battlefront somewhere in the title. I'm sure they realize that an XBLA title with the word Battlefront would automatically sell much better than one without it.
  • I'm guessing Call of Duty with Star Wars stuff. Think Gotham City Imposters, but not as silly.
  • Might be good.Some of the other titles sound interesting. Girl Fight anyone? :)
  • Jesus all we want is battlefront 3 isnt to hard to understand lucasarts or?ß
  • @11 *High Fives*
  • Oh man, Discovered! Now that's a bad cover.
  • Lol you people aren't thinking good enough this is a XBLA meaning Xbox Live which means online this one game can lead to many other decisions for a Star Wars game also it could be similar to Battlefront with the shooting and classes who knows it could just be a Battlefront game with a different name not to be gay or anything Kingdom Hearts had many spin offs before 3 was started, this may be a Battlefront spin off to increase hype lol idk
  • Fingers crossed that it's like star wars battlefront 3. ;)
  • @15: There are many KH fans somewhere wondering what the hell you're talking about. KH3 is in unicorn land. I've played the numbered ones and two of the spin-offs, but I'd given up any thought of the third one.
  • please be like Battlefront please be like Battlefront please be like Battlefront please be like Battlefront please be like Battlefront please be like Battlefront...
  • @1 I would love Gears of Star Wars :D
  • Here's an idea how about bring back the Jedi Knight series ?
  • Could actually be Battlefront 2.5, with some of the unused assets from the cancelled project. I still play 2 sometimes, great gameplay but sure could use a face lift.
  • I kinda want them to make a republic commando 2, even a rebel alliance commando game would be pretty cool
  • It would be pretty good if this is like Battlefront but with a cover system included, as it always seemed weird to me that the games didn't have one. Can't wait to see some gameplay videos or at the very least some screenshots.
  • Whoo! GGXX ACENT CORE PLUS has an awesome cover art
  • It could have something to do with this Star Wars 1313.
