EA to Get Star Wars Games
Well after Disney shut down LucasArts, millions of Star Wars game
fans began to cry and curse Disney's name. But good news came last week as
Disney announced EA now had the rights to publish and make new Star Wars games.
EA stated that BioWare will continue doing it's thing with the Star Wars games
it has out now, but added DICE and Visceral to the game developing. VICE is
popular for it's Battlefront series, while Visceral brings the Dead Space franchise to the table.
Does this mean
we'll see Battlefront 3 finally? Rumor has it we might. EA just bought a new
LA office for DICE to work on
games. They seem to be the best ones suited to continue the Battlefront series. DICE's general manager was
quoted as saying that DICE is "looking
at either creating an entirely new experience or piggybacking on an older Star
Wars game series" Which could mean Battlefront 3.
Other
games shut down by Disney include Star Wars: 1313 and Star Wars: First Assault.
With this recent deal, EA could be picking up those games where they left of
and give them to Visceral to do. BioWare currently has The Old Republic MMO and
other Old Republic titles. While these are very popular, it wouldn't be weird
for BioWare to pick up another Star Wars title.
EA
promises more Star War games to keep legions of fans happy. But will they live
up to the expectations set up by LucasArts before they where shut down? Only
time will tell.
Thanks
to Kotaku for the information.
