With one of the most lucrative IP licenses under its belt, Electronic
Arts understandably intends to pump out as many Star Wars games as it
can. During an earnings call today, the publisher’s chief financial
officer Blake Jorgensen confirmed that EA intends to release a new Star
Wars game every year from 2017 onwards – for at least the next three to
four years.Speaking more specifically, it looks like another Star Wars
Battlefront game will release as soon as 2017. “Next year we’ll see Star
Wars Battlefront back with bigger and better worlds, because we now
have the new movies to work off [and] not just the historical movies
that we used before,” Jorgensen said.Of course, there are other Star
Wars games in the offing: Visceral’s contribution to the canon will
resemble the aborted Star Wars 1313 project – basically an
Uncharted-esque cinematic third-person action game – and will be a
collaboration with EA’s Motive studio, which is helmed by former
Assassin’s Creed producer Jade Raymond. Jorgensen says that game will
release “most likely the following year.”Meanwhile, yet another
third-person Star Wars game is in development at Respawn, the studio
responsible for Titanfall (and the forthcoming Titanfall 2).Star Wars
Battlefront released late last year to mixed reviews, with our Andy
Kelly writing that it “brilliantly captures the look and feel of classic
Star Wars, but beneath its cinematic flair lies a pretty generic
multiplayer shooter.”
