Star Wars Battlefront is upon us, and we really liked it. The game is part of a ten year licensing deal between publisher EA and brand owner Disney, and this should result in a decent number of Star Wars titles coming to both mobile and console.
Now EA CFO Blake Jorgensen has confirmed via a talk at Global Technology Conference, that the publisher has plans for several games in the Battlefront series:
"It's a big effort for us, and I don't think there's a human being in the world who hasn't heard of the Star Wars movie coming. And so, [it's a] great opportunity," Jorgensen said about Battlefront, which launches for Xbox One, PS4, and PC on November 17. "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."
So there you have it. Expect more Battlefront in the future, with the next one maybe set to land just in time for Episode 8, whenever that may be.
