- Like?
- being considered for Wii, 3DS, or Wii U
- main character was Darth Maul
- Red Fly began handling prototype work in 2010 under the code name “Damage”
- project became a multiplatform release and shifted development to the Wii U, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC
- this was “due largely to Nintendo not meeting financial demands to make it a first-party project”
- game would explore the origin story of Maul’s transformation into a Sith Lord
- the game would center on stealth and action
- George Lucas also stepped in at one point and changed the project’s direction
- changed things to make Darth Maul and Darth Talon face off against Darth Krayt and his Sith army
- LucasArts also considered the possibility of purchasing Red Fly
- in June 2011, LucasArts ceased its communications for unspecified reasons
- they eventually sent out a letter stating that the game had been terminated
- Red Fly Studios did manage to continue on despite Darth Maul’s cancellation
- this cancellation lead to Red Fly having to lay off about 70 percent of its staffers
