EA Plans to Model Star Wars Games on Batman Arkham Series: EA has reiterated to fans they should not expect the publisher’s upcoming Star Wars games to be based directly on the Star Wars films themselves. Rather, EA is likening its approach to what Warner Bros. did with the Batman Arkham series of games. “What Warner Bros. did with Batman was take the core roots of that IP and manifest that inside the walls of Gotham City and delivered an interactive experience that had real ties to what you would see in the films and what you had read in the comics, while having its own life because it could provide such deep and more immersive storylines,” EA CEO Andrew Wilson told Fortune Tech. “When we look at the Star Wars properties that’s how we’re looking at it. We’re not trying to build a game that replicates the storyline of any particular film.” EA acquired the Star Wars license exclusively in May last year. In November it was revealed the agreement is set to last for at least 10 years. Battlefield developer DICE is currently working on Star Wars: Battlefront. It also seems EA Canada is working on an open-world Star Wars action game, possibly in conjunction with Dead Space developer Visceral Games. Nintendo, Sony, EA, Capcom, Sega, Warner Bros.

Dahku Creations bringing Chubbins to Wii U: Dahku Creations has is developing Chubbins for Wii U, the studio has announced. Originally, Chubbins hit iOS last year. The platformer’s eShop release will boast a few new additions/improvements, all of which are covered in depth below: Addition of Time Attack Mode As one might expect, Time Attack mode will allow the player to tackle levels individually as they are unlocked by playing through the worlds normally, with the eventual unlocking of a Boss Rush. In addition to setting individual level records, this will also serve as a good way to practice specific levels for achieving better times in standard Modes. Renaming of ‘Casual’ and ‘Classic’ Modes to ‘Soft’ and ‘Hard’ Originally Chubbins released with only the ‘Classic’ Mode of play, but a short while later we updated with ‘Casual’ that included numerous checkpoints throughout the levels to decrease difficulty and increase its pick-up-and-play value, among other tweaks. With the renaming of these Modes, ‘Hard’ will remain true to the original ‘Classic’ while ‘Soft’ will feature new aids for beginner players, including visible paths for moving platforms and player tips provided throughout World 1. Miscellaneous Features We’re making a number of minor improvements here and about, such as increasing the max time counter from 1 to 2 hours for those who found the game especially difficult. A couple of levels have also received very minor edits to decrease potential confusion. And naturally, such an update also squashes a few bugs and makes a couple of visual upgrades.
