If you haven’t yet heard about Galaxy in Turmoil: it used to be the shall we game for free through Steam. 3i6d31
Things have taken a very sudden southward turn though a couple of days ago, when a blog-post surfaced from Frontwire, effectively announcing the termination of the project. LucasFilm had apparently issued a cease and desist order regarding Galaxy in Turmoil back in June. Having committed resources, time and dedication, Frontwire didn’t throw in the towel straight away though. They tried to title would draw away attention from its own Battlefront, therefore even the idea of pushing Galaxy in Turmoil behind an EA pay-wall was discarded.
All the work, effort and dedication that Frontwire have sunk into the project won’t go to waste though. Despite having been informed by LucasFilm that the latter would have no problems with a Battlefront-inspired title as long as it wasn’t making use of the Star Wars IP, Frontwire have decided to move away from the Star Wars angle and to create an original game that would still sport all the bells and whistles Galaxy in Turmoil was planned to sport. In fact, the game will still be called Galaxy in Turmoil and it will apparently still be free on Steam.
