Electronic Arts has confirmed that it's working on a sequel to Star Wars Battlefront!
Electronic Arts confirmed in an earnings call that the company is indeed working on a sequel to Star Wars Battlefront that will arrive in 2017. The publisher had previously teased that it planned to develop multiple Battlefrontsequels. This comes as no surprise since the first game has already shipped more than 14 million copies.
Said EA CFO Blake Jorgensen that Battlefront 2 will feature "bigger and better worlds" and that the game will have content based on the "new movies." He didn't mention any specific movies by name, but it's a safe assumption that we will at least see some The Force Awakens content in the sequel.
Jorgensen also mentioned EA's plan to release a new Star Warsgame every year for the next three to four years. Other EA studios currently working on Star Wars games include BioWare, Respawn Entertainment, Capital Games, Motive, and Visceral Games. Jorgensen mentioned that Visceral's game will also arrive by 2017, but he didn't go into further details.
We will keep you posted as we learn more!
