Rather, this is intended for gaming fans who want a quick rundown on the largest\/most impactful stories that occurred in the last week in games.<\/p>\n

For this week’s roundup of gaming news<\/a>, the reformation of Lucasfilm Games finally opens up\u00a0Star Wars<\/em> and other Lucasfilm IPs to any and all game publishers. Among the lion’s share of CES hardware news, there was plenty of gaming-related announcements made as well. More evidence of the ambition of Game Pass has come out, also potentially hinting at more announcements coming in 2021. More potential “leaks” for\u00a0Grand Theft Auto 6\u00a0<\/em>have come out, though they’re not the most credible. A vexing\u00a0Cyberpunk 2077<\/em> update lays out a vague content roadmap. All that and more, here’s a recap of the biggest gaming news of the week.<\/p>\n

Releasing the\u00a0Star Wars<\/em> franchise’s exclusivity deal with EA, Lucasfilm Games has been reformed as a licensing brand for gaming<\/a>. What this means is that huge Lucasfilm IPs like\u00a0Star Wars<\/em> and\u00a0Indiana Jones<\/em> are now able to work with various developers and publishers to make games. Previously, EA and Disney had struck a deal in 2013 to exclusively publish\u00a0Star Wars<\/em> games.<\/p>\n

Clearly that’s no longer the case, as both Ubisoft and Bethesda have announced\u00a0Star Wars<\/em> and\u00a0Indiana Jones<\/em> games in development. Ubisoft Massive is working on a “story-driven, open world”\u00a0Star Wars<\/em> game<\/a>, while Machine Games (Wolfenstein<\/em>) is developing an adventure in the\u00a0Indiana Jones<\/em> franchise.<\/p>\n

This year, there were updates on upcoming PS5 release dates, updates for Stadia’s compatibility, Razer announcing some interesting concepts, as well as Nvidia revealing a new graphics card. Here’s all the biggest announcements from CES 2021:<\/p>\n
