Lucasfilm Games is a subsidiary of Lucasfilm which specialises in video game licensing and until 2013, video game development. Between 1990 and 2021 it was known as LucasArts Entertainment Company LLC (trading as LucasArts).
Lucasfilm Games started publishing games in the late 1980s, becoming one of the world's leading adventure game publishers along with Sierra Entertainment, a trend which continued until the 1998 release of Grim Fandango, the first adventure game the company failed to make a profit on (despite positive reviews). However, being linked to Lucasfilm, the company has access to big franchises such as Star Wars and Indiana Jones, which has kept it afloat despite the downfall of the adventure genre.
In 2013, new owners The Walt Disney Company ceased all internal video game development at LucasArts and laid off most of its staff, reducing the company into a video game licensing arm. The license for core Star Wars games was given to Electronic Arts. In 2021 the company reverted to its previous name of Lucasfilm Games[3].
