EA taking a break from making Battlefield, and hints a "bigger" Star Wars sequel

Guest

EA is still one of the biggest video game companies in the world albeit often criticized for selling games in parts or DLCs

Well, the company issued a statement which may sadden (or excite) gamers

 

Quote

Jorgensen confirmed that there won't be another game in the series anytime soon. "We won't have another Battlefield for a couple of years," he said during a Nasdaq speaking event, suggesting the next one might not come until 2018 or later.

 

The company is looking to refocus its efforts into making other games such as an upcoming Star Wars Battlefront sequel 

 

Quote

Overall, Jorgensen described Battlefront 2 as a "much bigger, much more exciting Battlefront."

 

The game, which has not yet been formally announced, is reportedly due out in fall 2017. It's being made by EA-owned studios DICE and Motive Studios.

 

The company isn't the only one shifting its focus making Star Wars games with developers like Respawn and Dead Space studio making games

I'm personally excited seeing Star Wars games making a big comeback though I don't want to see it become the only thing driving companies to make games

This reminds me of the 2004 boom in Star Wars games with the original Battlefront and Old Republic games keeping people stuck to their screens 

 

Hopefully the games don't come in different parts each costing a fortune though at this point it has become commonplace

I might not buy BF1 if Battlefront 2 is coming next year.

Judge a product on its own merits AND the company that made it.

I don't care about their other titles, hopefully by taking time off from making another battlefield game they can match or surpass the quality and enjoy-ability of BF1.

 

A WW2 based battlefield with even more content than the WW1 based BF1, would be super awesome.

That would be... I don't even know. There is already Battlefield: Vietnam so making another one would be iffy. Especially with the Vietnam DLC in BC2.

BF2, BC1, BC2, BF3, BF4 all modern era....

I doubt they are even sure where they want to go next though modern military would probably be suicide. A 2143 game probably would be too due to the recent hate towards futuristic settings.

nah i think a ton of people actually want that.

2143 was one of the best of the bf series.

imagine mechas and the destructible environment of bf1.

they could easily add the behemoths too, but you can take it down with AA weapons now.

mmh wrecking a good part of a city with a mech.

Well good cause makes no sense for annual release of same game specially if it's to be multiplayer focused to. It just doesn' age well.

Though once SWtor was released was quite fun I later stopped to play other games, I wonder how it is now though.

I'm all for what they've done, but reeeeally want to see a clone wars game. I think they could do so much more with that era and that it would be way more fun.
