This Is The Way?
Recent reports suggest Xbox is working on a new Star Wars: Mandalorian MMO game, developed by Zenimax Online Studios.
According to both Skullzi and Nick Baker, two prominent leakers, the new Mandalorian game will be an MMO game and could be an Xbox exclusive which would make sense since Zenimax Online Studios is now owned by Microsoft following their acquisition of Bethesda last year.
Skullzi came out swinging on Twitter with other various leaks related to Bethesda Studios. He is also hearing of a new PvPvE game that is in development at Roundhouse Studios, a new Fallout remaster developed by inXile, as well as a Quake reboot also in development at Zenimax Online Studios.

Ok, so liiiiittle bit of a whoopsie. Yeah, there's going to be a Mando game. But um…that's apparently not a Mando Funko. I might have just said something I wasn't supposed to yet. Hoping I didn't just burn my source. Got some apologising to do.

This whole new slate of Star Wars games started with the end of EA’s exclusivity deal with Lucasfilm Games. Since then, a number of studios have announced their own Star Wars games including Quantic Dream, Massive Entertainment, and even Xbox’s Bethesda Studios.
The list of new officially announced Lucasfilm IP games in development by other studios now includes a story-driven open-world Star Wars game developed by Ubisoft, an Indiana Jones game developed by Bethesda, and another 3 Star Wars games developed by EA including a Jedi: Fallen Order sequel.
It is worth noting that there is no official confirmation of any Mandalorian MMO game and that these are all rumors as of right now. It is likely that if the project is real, it will be a long way off and is likely still in early development.
