EA’s take on the Star Wars: Battlefront video-game series is only a few days old after its release, but already EA are looking to make sequels to their first Battlefront game.
EA CFO Blake Jorgenson is quoted as saying the following:
“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.”
Sounds like we won’t have to wait another decade for a new Star Wars: Battlefront, which can only be a good thing.
Also, Jorgenson talked about the possibilities for EA with their Star Wars video-games. He is quoted as saying the following on that subject:
“We get access to all of the historical content as well as all the new content developed. The beauty of the Star Wars franchise is it’s almost unlimited in what you can do with it. We know Disney has done a great job with other franchises and we believe they’ll do the same with Star Wars over time in delivering new worlds, new characters, new vehicles, all the things that make great video games. Our goal is not to make video games directly about the movies, it’s to use the IP in the movie to make great, exciting games.”
