[Confirmed] X-Wing And Other LucasArts Games Arriving On GoG
Update: GoG has confirmed a partnership with LucasArts that will bring more than 20 of the publisher's games to the platform. The first six of these titles were revealed via a leak last night.
Pricing ranges from $5.99 to $9.99. No further information is available regarding which LucasArts titles will round out the remaining entries.
Original Story:
Industrious members of the GoG.com forums have uncovered (now hidden) product pages related to LucasArts games. GoG is teasing the announcement of a new publisher joining the ranks, and it seems we know which one.
On the list of games uncovered by user “SCPM” and re-posted by user “yyahoo” are a number of classic titles. These include:
- The Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition
- Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
- Star Wars: X-Wing Special Edition
- Star Wars: Tie Fighter Special Edition
- Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
- Sam and Max Hit the Road
As we mentioned, all the pages linked in the original forum thread are now hidden. The countdown expires at 7 a.m. Pacific / 10 a.m. Eastern on October 28.
We’ve reached out to GoG for comment. We’ll update should we receive a response.

Our Take
If accurate, getting a hold of LucasArts’ library is a big win for GoG (and a bigger win for nostalgic gamers). It’s been a long time since I’ve played X-Wing, but it brings back memories of my freshman year of college. They still make PC flight sticks… right?
