EA Making Star Wars Games for Years to Come!
May 6, 2013 by Jon C. Ogg
While financial terms were not disclosed, EA is going to develop and publish new Star Wars titles on all interactive platforms and the most popular game genres. Disney will retain certain rights to develop new titles within the mobile, social, tablet and online game categories.
Disney has gone out of its way to indicate that there will be many more Star Wars efforts launched other than just Episodes 7,8, and 9. We called this a multi-generational win for Disney and the EA deal only goes to show that Disney is not lightening up on its efforts here.
EA even shows that DICE and Visceral will produce new games, while BioWare continues to develop for the Star Wars franchise. As a reminder, it was only about 14 months ago that EA showed that more than 2 million of the Star Wars: The Old Republic MMORPG sales had been seen.
This may just be a continued expansion of the past to some, but this and a new wave of consoles coming to market in time for Christmas should offer some added support for what is currently a turnaround situation for EA.
