As most of you know already know, Electronic Arts (EA) has a 10 year licensing deal with Star Wars owner Disney. The deal will result in multiple Battlefront games as well as others in different genres, which EA plans to launch for mobile, console and PC platforms according to EA Chief Financial Officer Blake Jorgensen.
Mr. Jorgensen, speaking at the UBS Global Technology Conference in San Francisco, elaborates on Star Wars Battlefront and the franchise:
"It's a big effort for us, and I don't think there's a human being in the world who hasn't heard of the Star Wars movie coming. And so, great opportunity. We struck a licensing deal with Disney a few years back that's almost ten years in length. The game that comes out tomorrow, Star Wars Battlefront, is a traditional first-person style shooter game. Our goal is to make future Battlefront games as well as other style games around the Star Wars franchise, both on mobile as well as console and PC. It's a huge opportunity for us."
From the bolded part above, it is clear that EA’s plans to produce another Battlefront game in the Star Wars franchise.
Further, Mr. Jorgensen described EA’s partnership with Disney as “one of the best its ever seen” and he noted that Disney is very helpful when providing EA’s development team with access and the content they need to make great games.
