In early 2012, game publisher Fantasy Flight Games will release two new games set in the Star Wars universe, the first releases under a new licensing agreement with George Lucas's Lucasfilm Ltd. The first games will be Star Wars: The Card Game, part of FFG's living card game lineup, and X-Wing, a tactical combat game.
"Being able to publish gaming products in the Star Wars universe is quite simply a hobby-game company's dream come true," Christian T Petersen, CEO of Fantasy Flight Games, said in a press release. "I'm confident that both Star Wars fans as well as FFG's regular customers will be blown away by the game experiences we have planned."
This announcement is equally exciting for me: The original Star Wars is the first movie I remember seeing in a theater, and Fantasy Flight has a demonstrated track record of creating excellent games based on existing properties (such as the brilliant Battlestar Galactica board game). Early 2012 can't get here soon enough!
