In a galaxy far, far away, populated by famed characters such as Boba Fett, Cad Bane, and Bossk, a new breed of bounty hunters has emerged, capturing the hearts of Star Wars enthusiasts. The star of this group is Din Djarin, the titular character of the popular Disney+ series, The Mandalorian. Despite an extensive array of Star Wars games that cater to fans of the epic space opera, a glaring omission has fans questioning: “Where is our Mandalorian game?”
Concept designer Gavin Marshall, renowned for his role as a UI Technical Designer at DICE, has attempted to quench this growing thirst for a Mandalorian-themed game. His idea, christened “The Mandalorian: Way of the Warrior,” envisions a unique gaming experience that hasn’t materialized yet in the realm of Star Wars gaming. Marshall’s concept boasts an intricate start menu, an intuitive settings menu, and a visually striking heads-up display (HUD) that immediately captivates the viewer.
It’s not the first time a potential Mandalorian game has made waves in the gaming community. Past concepts and game teasers revolving around the Mandalorian have ridden the viral wave, stirring passionate discussions among fans. These debates have centered around one primary question: “Why hasn’t Lucasfilm officially announced a Mandalorian game?” This query persists, echoed by a community of gamers anxiously waiting for their chance to step into the beskar boots of the enigmatic bounty hunter.

Rumors and alleged gameplay leaks concerning a Mandalorian video game have circulated for a while, adding fuel to the anticipation. However, these have turned out to be no more than unfounded claims, leaving fans with a Palpatine-esque sense of betrayal. No official confirmation about a Mandalorian game has been provided, and these misleading indications have only heightened the yearning for a Mandalorian-inspired adventure.
Yet, there seems to be hope on the horizon. Cory Barlog, notable for his significant contribution to the God of War series, has voiced his interest in a Mandalorian game. His declaration provides a glimmer of hope to fans who are eagerly awaiting the opportunity to guide Din Djarin and his lovable sidekick, Grogu, through a variety of cosmic adventures.
In the interim, Star Wars enthusiasts have a repertoire of engaging games to delve into, such as Respawn’s Jedi series and Ubisoft Massive’s Star Wars Outlaws. These games offer immersive experiences in the Star Wars universe, providing an outlet for fans while they continue their eager wait for a video game focused on the galaxy’s favorite bounty hunter, the Mandalorian.
