Her Star Wars project also got shelved… however, at least we learned what direction Hennig is going towards with her next projects.

Hennig, who previously was instrumental in the success of Uncharted, has joined Electronic Arts a few years ago. She was working on a Star Wars game with Visceral. However, the studio was shut down last year, and the development was shifted over to EA Vancouver. Is Hennig still with Electronic Arts?

We read her answer on Eurogamer: „I have not worked at EA since January, technically, legally. This is the problem, it was hard enough for them, but people were immediately asking them ‘Is Amy working with you?’ and the answer was ‘Well, we’re in negotiations…’

So yeah, I’m not making anything Star Wars. And, who knows what the future may hold, but that project is on the shelf now. The Vancouver studio is working on something pretty different. It’s not… Y’know, once you go more open world it’s such a different game to the one we were making. Everybody loved what we were doing, and I’d love to see us resurrect that somehow, but it’s complicated.”

So, she has no ties to Star Wars anymore and going by her comments; the EA Vancouver development might have made the Visceral-game far different than what it was (which means the previous remarks about EAV taking assets over from Visceral might be a bit of a lie…). She also said what she is doing at the moment: „I’m working independently and staying independent. I just started my own small little independent studio and am consulting with some people. I’m hoping to bring some people on board. I would love to have a little company of about six to eight people, 15 at the most, and do some more projects. Do some VR stuff. I’m consulting with some VR companies and doing a ton of research because I haven’t played a lot to immerse myself in it.”

If Microsoft is smart, they’d stand behind her team and give them financial support. After all, Phil Spencer, the head of Xbox, said that they want to expand. Why not do that with a veteran?
