PSN Releases, a Twitter account which tracks new video games and patches added to the PlayStation Store, has just picked up on a very interesting addition. According to it, a PlayStation 4 title named Star Wars: Project Maverick has just made itself known on the back end. However, what actually is it?
Uploaded alongside the key art you see above, common sense would dictate that this is a new game coming in the near future. Although, this doesn't make a whole lot of sense if we are to believe recent reports from Kotaku's Jason Schreier. He stated that a sequel to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is now in the works alongside a smaller project from development team EA Motive. Could this be that title? Potentially, although it feels a little bit too early for its unveiling -- especially through a PlayStation Store back end addition.
Eagle-eyed fans have noted that the font and style used is similar to that of the movie Solo: A Star Wars Story, if that helps guessing what this actually is at all. What do you think this Star Wars: Project Maverick could be? Post your suggestions in the comments below.

no point getting excited, EA will probably can it and not tell anyone like they have with most of the other Star Wars games they were working on
A VR "experience" that has you flying around in the Millenium Falcon as Solo. Just a guess but something that seems small then this is all I can think of, especially with that font.
@funkyflounder83 That's a good guess.
It's too tempting to connect the word "maverick" with the qualities often associated with the franchise's smuggler characters, though. I saw this and immediately thought "Oh, they're resurrecting Ragtag then!" which is very unlikely, but they did say assets from that cancelled Amy Hennig project would be repurposed into something else down the line.
But we're also seeing X-Wings flying towards a Star Destroyer in that artwork, and "maverick" often being associated with ace pilots means this could equally be Top Gun in space.
For now, this is about as placeholdery as a placeholder gets.
@RogerRoger I completely agree with you about the name corresponding with Top Gun.
The reason I think it’ll just be a small VR experience is because we’ve generally heard about anything that is being made well in advance but this leak suggests it’s something that is close enough to be announced within a couple weeks at the most.
Still I wouldn’t mind a space dogfighting game akin to the opening scene in Revenge of the Sith with the big space battle between the Republic & the Separatists.
With 3 cancelled projects already I don't expect to see anything other than Jedi FO sequel and maybe another Battlefront before EA's deal runs out in a few years. Hopefully Disney doesn't sign another one with them and lets different studios make deals on a game by game basis.
X-Wing and TIE Fighter remasters for PS4 please.
@funkyflounder83 Agreed; coming from nowhere like this, it reminds me of the PSVR mission they launched for EA's first Battlefront.
Ah well. I guess we'll always have the original Battlefront II available to help us live out our Battle of Coruscant fantasies! It's only a matter of time before somebody makes it in Dreams, too.
Hopefully it isn’t just people missing prior hints at Star Wars: Squadrons and thinking it for something else. Fingers crossed for a Rogue Squadron Remaster.
