Today is every nerd’s favorite artificial marketing holiday, May the 4th, and yet, there isn’t that much Star Wars gaming news to celebrate today (at least not yet). Well, just because there haven’t been a lot of big announcements today doesn’t mean there aren t some big things happening behind the scenes! After being tied to Electronic Arts for years, Lucasfilm has recently shown more willingness to branch out when it comes to video games, and according to wanton rumormeister Jeff Grubb there’s “a lot” in the works, including possibly a collaboration with Microsoft!

Alan Wake 2 Reportedly In The Works Under Remedy And Epic Games
A long-awaited sequel to one of Remedy’s most popular games could finally be in the works, though not without a catch.

Control. Jesse Faden’s infiltration of the eerie Oldest House in search of her brother already takes place in another well-established world built by the studio, of course, and it’s a follow-up to this that’s reportedly being created with the help of Epic Games.
