There is no additional information about the project, although the filtration includes a capture with the logo of the mysterious title.
Electronic Arts has not announced any new videogames based on the galactic saga. After the publication of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, the American company has remained silent about the future of the franchise, although Kotaku sources already speak of a sequel to the Respawn Entertainment game. What has leaked is Star Wars: Project Maverick, a work that knows absolutely nothing and has come to light thanks to a dataminer. PSN Releases is a bot that operates on Twitter and brings to light the news of the platform, in this case, the European store.
The image that accompanies the filtration shows the logo of the game, although the name seems to be still in code. In the background, the artwork outlines a stellar destroyer, one of the great ships of the Galactic Empire, in an environment reminiscent of Mustafar, the planet where Anakin Skywalker culminated his transition in Darth Vader, who then built his grand palace there. Beyond that, there is no clue as to what this work can be, so we will have to wait for Electronic Arts to step up and uncover its future plans.

The future of Star Wars in video games
Jason Schreier, a Kotaku journalist, recently published an article that talks about Electronic Arts having at least two Stat Wars videogames underway. However, throughout these months, other projects have fallen into cancellation. This is the case of the Star Wars: Battlefront spin-off, which according to the American media has already ceased production. One of those who does have the green light, says Kotaku, is the second part of Jedi Star Wars: Fallen Order.
After the events of the first installment, the fate of the Order of the Jedi may be asked. The video game of the creators of Titanfall 2 and Apex Legends is set in the years after Palpatine's rise as emperor of the Galactic Empire. After issuing Order 66, most Jedi Knights were annihilated by those who had been their allies so far. With Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi in their forced exile, there are only a few survivors left in the galaxy.
Cal Kestis was hidden for years, but cheating the Inquisitors is not a simple task and the predisposition to force is easy to detect. When that happens, the young Jedi takes the lightsaber again and starts a path that will allow him to reconnect with his sleeping power.
