Amy Hennig's Skydance studio hires Star Wars co-writer Stashwick

Visceral Studios vet Todd Stashwick has apparently joined Skydance New Media to work on a new triple-A project.

The developer was previously one of the co-writers of the cancelled Star Wars game, Project Ragtag, which was cancelled in October 2017 and announced his job move on Twitter, as spotted by VGC

Skydance New Media is the new games venture from Hollywood Production company Skydance. In November 2019, the firm revealed that it was hiring Amy Hennig (pictured) to head the outfit up.

Hennig previously worked on the Uncharted franchise at Naughty Dog before spending time at Visceral on Ragtag. She left Electronic Arts in January 2018.

Stashwick says that the team is made up of "industry vets" who are working on an "exciting action/adventure game that's being built in Unreal. Though he's working in a writing capacity on this project, Stashwick is primarily an actor and has held roles in the likes of Gotham, 12 Monkeys and Teen Wolf.
