15 Comments

Today during EA's E3 2016 briefing, the company released a video that provides a status update on the company's numerous Star Wars games. The video touches on the projects currently in development at DICE, Visceral, Motive, BioWare, and Capital Games.

We also learn that EA's newly launched Motive Studios, whose boss is Assassin's Creed producer Jade Raymond, is collaborating with DICE on a new Battlefront game. Interestingly, this game will include content from "the new movies," Raymond teased. Additionally, there is a glimpse of footage from Visceral's game. Check out the video above.

I really, REALLY hope they bring back something along the lines of The Force Unleashed! Now THAT was a real Star Wars game. It's all about the Force and the power trip/fantasy.

You said your listening to the fans, but no mention of the next Battlefront having a single player campaign.

@Ravanofdarkness: the force unleased is dead due to the force awaken! They changed everything I know about the Expanded universe.

@ricky9999: They could still make a game in the engine and called it Force Unleashed 3. Doesn't have to be a direct sequel. That wouldn't really work anyway.

I just want to play as a badass Jedi or Sith.

Preferably like in the Jedi Knight games, but even The Force Unleashed had moments that were pure fun when all the powers and physics, etc came together.

Battlefront was about asking 120 dollars for a shallow game tied-in with the release of a movie. EA needs to step it up !

Seriously lame. This is why no one wanted them to have the license.

I'm kind of pissed off they are totally abandoning clone wars era games even though they were the best ones... When she mentioned new trilogy stuff in the next battlefront I was waiting for her to say clone wars but nopeee.
