A Star Wars Mandalorian game may be helmed by none other than the powerhouse team behind Doom and Quake: id Software. This potential Xbox exclusive was only leaked thanks to a tweet in Spanish from someone claiming to have heard about it.
The rumor of this project only started after a tweet, released in Spanish, spoke on it. The tweet stated that the Mandalorian game would be released in 2024 or 2025 and that it was just heard hours before the tweet.
“It has been said in the last few hours that ID Software is working on a game (scheduled to be released in 2024 or 2025, surely) and the waters of anticipation are choppy. Users who usually have information cannot stop rumoring about the possibility that this project is a licensed title, and among the speculations, well-known names resonate: Star Wars and Marvel.
Expectations are rising especially after documents suggested that Microsoft could be releasing another licensed game in addition to BLADE.”

It’s important to take leaks with a grain of salt, but this also coincides with concept art shown earlier this year. Recent concept art from a UI Technical Artist at Dice also gives fans a small glimpse of a potential gaming adaptation. It seems that a Mandalorian game is on the minds of many studios. id Software, known for its shooters like Doom, is a smart choice.
The narrative tapestry woven by The Mandalorian offers fertile ground for an immersive, character-driven experience. However, the idea of having this game as a first-person shooter doesn’t feel correct. In the tweet, some commenters worried that a first-person perspective might not do justice to the Mandalorian’s universe. The studio behind Doom likely would make another first-person shooter, but this may not be the case, even if this leak is true.
We’ll have to wait and see more of this rumor materialize before we can say for certain what will come.
