You’ll see iconic ships, you’ll see really cool things happen. Each sequence is almost like a mini-storyline that plays out. “The visual effects are all-new for the Disney Wish,” Handke says. “And we want to see the Resistance from the First Order era, the prequel era, a familiar ship from The Mandalorian, and Rogue One.” The illusion will be created via the bar viewport, a widescreen, seven-pane window to the stars. “We want to see a little bit of Empire-era Star Destroyers and TIE fighters,” Handke says. We’re jumping to different locations and getting a tour of space, and sampling amazing drinks from those different planets.” In a clever twist, fans will not just be jumping to different planets they’ll be jumping to different time periods, as well. “We came up with this idea, ‘the Hyperspace Lounge.’ Think of it like a party ship through the galaxy. What if we explored, as a nice juxtaposition to that, doing kind of a Dryden Vos yacht ship?’ We landed on that, doing something sophisticated, which also matches the design of the Disney Wish.”Īnd as the name implies, hyperspace travel plays a big role in the storytelling and experience. You know, we have Oga’s Cantina at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. We thought, ‘Boy, that’s really unique and different. “Around that time, we had The Last Jedi and Solo, and it was kind of the more refined side of Star Wars, like Canto Bight and Dryden Vos’ ship. Would the lounge be set in a cantina? On a planet? Somewhere strange in the galaxy? “We decided that since we’re on a cruise ship, it would be fun if the lounge is on a Star Wars ship,” Handke says. So we pitched the idea, ‘What if we did a lounge that’s for grownups only at night? It becomes an adult playground for the world of Star Wars.’ And everyone just loved that idea.” (Parents, don’t worry: the lounge will be open to your younglings in the daytime, with plenty of non-alcoholic drinks.)Īfter getting the green light, brainstorming started almost immediately between Imagineering and Disney Cruise Line. “But as a grownup, and a parent, I’m jealous that I don’t have my own space on the ship where I can immerse myself in Star Wars, since Star Wars is multi-generational. “We always talked about the fact that kids get to immerse themselves in Star Wars,” Handke says, having overseen the Star Wars-themed kids spaces on the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy. And the idea came, simply, from wanting to hang out in Star Wars. Handke’s worked on a few Star Wars projects over the years, but now he’s spearheading something that’s never been attempted before: Star Wars: Hyperspace Lounge, a high-end, immersive Star Wars bar for adults, coming to Disney Cruise Line’s new Disney Wish ship in summer 2022. It follows that the experience of seeing Episode I in the theater is what turned Handke fully to the Star Wars side, considering he’s a senior creative director of Walt Disney Imagineering, and has devoted his life and career to creating one-of-a-kind experiences. And so after that, it’s been every film and every animated series. “As much as I loved the original trilogy, being in the theater and being part of that event just meant a lot. Moreover, the streamers themselves can make a bit of revenue for every bit purchase on their Twitch streams.“It wasn’t really until The Phantom Menace came out that I became a really huge fan of Star Wars,” he tells. Like the players, the spectators can also earn progress by watching matches. In other words, the people who are spectating the matches can actively influence certain events such as the speed of the match, the availability of healing items, and so on. However, what really caught our attention about Hyper Scape is the fact that Ubisoft is developing this game alongside Twitch which, while massive and successful as a streaming platform, has little to do with game development itself.Īs it turns out, Twitch is going to be instrumental in the core gameplay of Hyper Scape since the game features a whole new level of integration with the chat and spectator aspect of the platform. All the pictures of the game seem to support this theory. While little is known about the gameplay itself, we’re assuming it’s going to be par for the course you drop onto a map, run around finding weapons and equipment, and fight to be the last person or team standing.
