Even though this is the one anthology film pretty much no one asked for, nor wanted (I mean, how are you meant to top Harrison Ford as Solo?), chances are Visceral's game will have some relation to it. Maybe not a direct tie-in per-say - as EA have previously stated their commitment to make their titles totally separate from tales already being traversed by other mediums - but any Solo game a studio intends to construct will more than likely have to make moves at the discretion of the upcoming prequel, whilst also making further inroads with the Star Wars canon. This will all influence just when we'll find Solo in the Visceral title, but given EA's pragmatism towards money-making endeavours, you can at the very least expect it to release sometime near to the film so it can maximise its audience. Now that may be a heck of a long way off, but with what we know so far? It's probably going to be worth the wait. Do you think Visceral Games are working on a Han Solo game? Or are their talents being put to use elsewhere? Don't forget to leave a comment below!
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.
