[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?
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
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. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
