Visceral’s Star Wars Han Solo Game: 9 Things You Need To Know

5. It's Most Likely Going To Feature Han Solo

How do we know this? Well, the answer lies in social media. If you take a moment to glance at Visceral's media output, you'll begin to notice a recurring theme cropping up through out - most of it revolves around Han.

Designer Scott Walker, Hennig and Stashwick have all been leaving cryptic posts on social media for a good few months now, including pictures of the smuggler in question (the image above was posted by Walker in particular, depicting Han in the old LucasArts title, Mercenaries) along with his trademark freighter, the Millennium Falcon. Along with multiple allusions towards Solo's presence in the title, images of Boba Fett, TIE-Fighters, and even a Stormtrooper 'pirate flag' have all been circulating around the company's social media, seemingly indicating that the title will be set within the confines of the Original Trilogy, or at least within its immediate vicinity on the broader Star Wars timeline. This could all just be some elaborate red herring from Visceral's staff, but given the timeliness of these little tidbits and the impending Han Solo film beginning to ramp up production, logic seems to dictate that the scoundrel will be getting a digital makeover soon.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
