Zynga has cut a multiyear deal with Disney to make a future Star Wars game, giving the publisher access to one of the biggest licenses in the gaming industry.
As part of the non-exclusive licensing deal, Zynga will take over live operations for the existing mobile tower defense game Star Wars: Commander, a 2014 release. And Zynga’s NaturalMotion studio in the United Kingdom will develop future Star Wars titles, with an option for a second. That’s quite a victory for Zynga, which makes the likes of Zynga Poker, Words With Friends, and racing game CSR2. It’s not clear whether that is bad news for rival Electronic Arts, which makes Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (a turn-based mobile team fighting game developed by EA Capital Games and published by EA in 2015).
