I like Ubisoft, mostly the Assassins Creed series, so I'll be glass half full guy and remain optimistic. I didn't think much of Jedi Fallen order when it was first announced and I really enjoyed playing that game.

Unless it takes place outside of the Skywalker Saga timeframe, I'm not sure I'm gonna care.

Meh...World of Star Wars I'll call it.This generation of videogames isn't going to appeal to me either.

Squadrons is really fun, I haven't played anything else lately... and I have quite the backlog right now.
