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 EA's third-quarter earnings call, CEO Andrew Willson specifically mentioned Star Wars and the success of the franchises and titles EA has produced and looks to continue.
“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 games sold, and Galaxy of Heroes is a billion-dollar franchise".
Rounding off the call, Wilson states that we can "expect that [EA] will continue to invest in those as well as some new experiences across platforms in the future".
“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 platforms for the future".
Ever since the success of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order though, 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.
