In reality, this isn't just a remaster of one game it's the first step in bringing back the best developers of Star Wars video games. One or two players take control of protagonists, Zeke and Julie, in order to rescue the titular neighbors from monsters often seen in horror movies. What does the return of Lucasfilm Games mean for Star Wars games?įans would love to see Lucasfilm Games (formerly LucasArts) take on the Star Wars franchise again. Zombies Ate My Neighbors is a run and gun video game developed by LucasArts and published by Konami for the Super NES and Sega Mega Drive/Genesis consoles in 1993. It is now possible for Zombies Ate My Neighbors to do well monetarily, and if Disney sees that this market can be profitable, it will put more money towards this goal. After KOTOR was released on mobile devices and Final Fantasy was remastered (on a limited scale) in 2013, both games did well and were put forward for remakes. Whenever a remaster (or upgraded port) is successful, it's remade completely, as with Final Fantasy VII and Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR). It seems to be a growing trend in the industry today to take a remastered game and see how well it does.
Why do we think Zombies Ate My Neighbors will likely be the first of many Lucasfilm Games to be remade for current-gen consoles?
