Remembering LucasArts One Year Later
Just one year ago today, the gaming industry lost one of its oldest and most respected publishers. On April 3, 2013, we broke the story that LucasArts had been shut down.
What followed throughout the day were calls and emails to many well-known developers who had worked with the publisher throughout the years. Our own editorial team shared thoughts and fond memories about the games carrying the iconic logo.
In remembrance of LucasArts, we’ve compiled our coverage from the day the publisher closed. Below, you’ll also find stories related to the company’s most popular franchises.

We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk.
