Visceral’s Star Wars Han Solo Game: 9 Things You Need To Know
2. It's Going To Be Third-Person
As posted in the previously mentioned job listing doing the rounds over at EA, we now know for a fact that the untitled project will contain elements of third person gameplay and combat - pretty standard for a Star Wars project. This again falls in line with Nolan North's comments regarding the game's similarity with the Uncharted franchise as well as the previously cancelled 1313, and would also be the latest in the long line of third person shooters Visceral have previously harboured, excluding Battlefield: Hardline of course. The over the shoulder view certainly gives players the chance to really admire the environments the studio will be creating on Frostbite 3, as well as the character models we can only hope are based on the luscious concept art circulated throughout 1313's development.
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.
