I'm going to guess Coalition are developing this Mandalorian game if it indeed exists. I could see them making an excellent 3rd person shooter Mando game (possibly with co-op allowing multiple playable characters), and they have a new team now so the timing lines up perfectly. But on a personal level, I find it a little hard to get hyped for a Mando game, I loved the hell out of the first 2 seasons of the show, but the firing of Gina Carano from the show devastated me, as Cara Dune was one of my favorite characters on the show. A Mandalorian game without her in it would just depress me honestly, I don't think I could play it. The only hope of her being in it is if the current campaign to get her rehired succeeds. Her fanbase recently succeeded in getting her cancelled episode of Bear Gryll's Running Wild uncancelled, thanks to Bear himself going to bat for her, and Disney owns National Geographic, so maybe there is some hope that Disney will reverse course on dropping her from The Mandalorian. |
Bro, Cara Dune was barely even a factor in season 2 of the Mandalorian. The average viewer probably isn't even aware she got fired. They could likely watch a whole eventual season 3 without her, and wouldn't notice she was gone until someone else pointed it out to them. That's not even me hating on Gina. I don't think she deserved to be fired either, but she simply wasn't a very integral part of the show.
And that's not to even mention, that just because there may be a game in development which is in some way based off the Mandalorian, it wouldn't necessarily mean it'll follow the same Mandalorian from the show, or - even if it did - follow said character at a point in time where he'd even met Cara Dune.
Honestly, the second season of the Mandalorian was a bit of an odd one, because most of it was clearly set up work for spin offs, and then they concluded on what felt like more of a series finale than a season finale. The show's popularity was dependent on baby Yoda (or whatever the fuck his actual name turned out to be) just as much, if not more, than Mando himself. Taking him out of the equation, for what would presumably be quite some time, puts the show in a bit of an awkward situation.
