LucasArts executives have confirmed that the new Star Wars game will examine Lord Vader while an Indiana Jones title, possibly taking place in 1915 San Francisco, is also being developed.
Even though the Star Wars universe has completed its 6-movie cycle, it seems that LucasArts games based on its characters are here to stay. A New York Times article examining the company features comments from Haden Blackman, project leader of a forthcoming Star Wars game, mentioning that the title will delve ...deeper into Darth Vader's history.
During the same feature Peter Hirschmann, VP of product development, mentioned ...how researchers had tracked down images of San Francisco buildings from 1915 for the future Indiana Jones game.
Both games are current big projects for LucasArts although no specific mention of release dates is made in the NYT story. Although the article seems to insist that LucasArts wants to outgrow its Star Wars-studio image and introduce original IPs such as last year's surprise, Mercenaries, the story does not mention any non-franchise game.
