"Over the last few weeks, Amy and I have spent a lot of time talking about what her first project would be," wrote Visceral vice president and general manager Steve Papoutsis on EA's blog.
"There are a lot of different directions we could have gone, but I could sense that what really excited her about this opportunity (because let's face it, we weren't the only ones knocking at her door) was Star Wars.
"Amy's a huge fan. We happen to be making a Star Wars game. Just thinking about the possibilities made both of us even more excited about having her join the team."
Hennig, who began her career at EA 23 years ago, took to Twitter today (April 3) to express her excitement regarding her new position.
"Very excited to share that I'm joining @VisceralGames as Creative Director on a new Star Wars project," she tweeted.
"It might've taken me 23 years, but I'm back - and it's good to be home @EA! It's a privilege to have the opportunity to contribute to the Star Wars universe, after it's had such a formative influence on my life."
Hennig left Naughty Dog last month.
