ChenWei91 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 News The Official Home for Star Wars News Electronic Arts Selected for Multi-Year Agreement for the Future of Star Wars Gaming May 06, 2013 Today it was announced that Lucasfilm Ltd. and Disney Interactive are entering into a multi-year, multi-title exclusive licensing agreement with Electronic Arts Inc. (EA) for the creation of new high quality Star Wars games spanning multiple genres for console, PC, mobile, and tablets. Industry leaders and creators of best-in-class blockbuster games, the development and publishing teams at EA will collaborate with the creative teams at Lucasfilm to provide audiences with all-new gaming experiences set in the ever-expanding Star Wars galaxy. As part of the agreement, EA studio teams DICE (Battlefield series) and Visceral (Dead Space series) will join BioWare (Mass Effect series, Star Wars: The Old Republic) in the development of new Star Wars games. "Our number one objective was to find a developer who could consistently deliver our fans great Star Wars games for years to come," said Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm. "When we looked at the talent of the teams that EA was committing to our games and the quality of their vision for Star Wars, the choice was clear." While EA studios will develop for the core Star Wars gaming audience, Disney Interactive will focus on delivering new Star Wars games for casual audiences on mobile, social, tablet, and online gaming platforms. "This agreement demonstrates our commitment to creating quality game experiences that drive the popularity of the Star Wars franchise for years to come," said John Pleasants, co-president of Disney Interactive. "Collaborating with one of the world's premier game developers will allow us to bring an amazing portfolio of new Star Wars titles to fans around the world." "Every developer dreams of creating games for the Star Wars universe," said EA Labels President Frank Gibeau. "Three of our top studios will fulfill that dream, crafting epic adventures for Star Wars fans. The new experiences we create may borrow from films, but the games will be entirely original with all new stories and gameplay." More information, including titles in development, will be announced in the coming months. Continue to check StarWars.com for updates on the future of Star Wars gaming.

a Fool Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 My prediction is 1 or 2 good new games that then get milked to death with mediocre sequels/dlc. Well, I'll never be buying a Star Wars game ever again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I'm all for this. Battlefront 3, KOTOR 3, Republic Commando 2, the list goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DollarAndADream Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Initially I didn't like this news, but EA publishes some games that people don't realize. I'd say if it's one of the companies that made Battlefield 3, Mass Effect or Dead Space....this game should turn out fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g_bassi13 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 What if it's like Mass Effect 1 only set in the SW universe... I've wanted to see a game like that for so long. SWTOR didn't even come close to that for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a Fool Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I think SWTOR is the closest you're going to get on that front. Their games aren't going to be getting more Mass Effect 1-ish, that's for sure. Would I love it? Yes, yes I would. It's just not happening is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBackup Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 On the one hand, I hate EA. On the other, this means we may see Battlefront 3. I'm okay with this. Considering I still play NHL and Madden, and they're EA published, I can't have too many gripes right now. I'll have to wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
