Disney resurrects Lucasfilm Games for upcoming Star Wars games

After shutting down the games division of Lucasarts, Disney has brought back Lucasfilm Games for its upcoming Star Wars video games.

According to the post on StarWars.com, “StarWars.com is thrilled to reveal that Lucasfilm Games is now the official identity for all gaming titles from Lucasfilm, a name that encompasses the company’s rich catalog of video games and its eye toward the future.”

The brand is also making a social media appearance as @LucasfilmGames on Twitter and Facebook.

A sizzle reel, included in the post, shows gameplay of the more recent Star Wars games.

However, the announcement does not say what Disney will do with the Lucasfilm Games brand. Will Lucasfilm Games be the return of Disney as a game developer? Or, is it the new name under which it will continue to license Star Wars properties?

Lucasfilm Games was founded in the early 1980s.
