EA has outlined🤪 plans to continue building upon its Star Wars series of games alongside making brand new IPs based on the franchise in the future.

Announced during ,๊ CEO An💎drew Willson specifically mentioned Star Wars and the success of the franchises and titles EA has produced and looks to continue.

During this week's earnings call, Wilson said: “In the context of Star Wars, we won’t be announcing new things here but what I would say is that, if you look at our history with Star Wars, we’ve had a long and very profitable relationship, first with LucasArts or 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Lucasfilm, and then with Lucasfilm as part of Disney".

He goes on to mention the seemingly oft-fo﷽rgotten MMO Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic, Battlefront, and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, the latter of which has sold over 10 million copies and was widely praised.

“We have generated a number of great franchises: Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic, Galaxy of Heroes, Battlefront, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and, most recently, Star Wars Squadrons. That represents over $3 billion life-to-date net bookings and 52 million ga🍰mes sold, and Galaxy of Heroes is a billion-do🐷llar franchise".

Rounding off the call, Wilson states that we can "expect that [EA] will contཧinue to invest in those as well as some new experiences across platforms in the future".&nbs൲p;

“As we’ve established these very strong parts of that franchise,” Wilson said, adding: “you should expect that we will continue to invest in those as well as some new experiences across plat🍸forms for the fut🍃ure".

Until recently, EA has long held the exclusive rights to make games on the space opera franchise, which saw the release of two Star Wars Battlefront games, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars Squadrons.

EA is still able to create Star Wars titles, but a brand new company called 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Lucasfilm Games is now "the official identity for all gaming titles from Lucasfilm". The end of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:EA's exclusivity was confirmed alongside Lucasfilm Games announcing a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Ubisoft Star Wars game.

Ever since the success of Star Wars Jedi: ﷽Fallen Order th🐽ough, we're all expecting EA and Respawn Entertainment to make a sequel to it, or at the very least a new standalone story with totally different characters. Fingers crossed that Wilson is alluding to that.
