Star Wars: Magellan Was a AAA Action RPG Where You Could Play as a Jedi or Mandalorian
Footage has emerged of Star Wars: Magellan, a scrapped action RPG that let you play as either a Jedi or Mandalorian.
Star Wars: Magellan was a scrapped AAA action RPG that allowed players to assume the roles of a Jedi or a Mandalorian. The game, developed by Echtra Games and NaturalMotion, was intended for PC, Xbox, and PlayStation 5 platforms before being canceled in 2025 by Zynga. The artwork and gameplay footage, discovered by MP1st, showcase the ambitious nature of Magellan, featuring two playable character classes, an NPC bond system, and shoot-and-loot gameplay mechanics.
The Jedi character, nicknamed "The Hunted Jedi," possesses the ability to deflect laser fire using their lightsaber and apply force powers to push enemies. The Mandalorian character, called "Triggerman," can leap short distances using a jetpack and fire a flamethrower. Enemies in the game include Stormtroopers, droids, and hulking mechs.
Despite its potential, Magellan was permanently shelved when Echtra was closed by Zynga, joining other canceled Star Wars projects such as Project Ragtag, Star Wars 1313, and Battlefront 3.
