As many of you may know, EA recently held a conference call focusing on the recent quarter ending September 30th. They talked about how they plan on using the PS4 Pro and XB Scorpio, but also mention the possibility of using VR and reviving or creating some IP's.
During Electronic Arts’ financial conference call, Chief Financial Officer Blake Jorgensen talked about the research and development that the company is performing, as well as the creation of new IP’s and games.
Jorgensen mentioned that roughly 25% of the company’s R&D investment is for new products, that could be brand new IPs like the new action title that’s being built by Jade Raymond and her new Motive studio in Montreal. He also specified that this game won’t come this year or the next, but it’ll come three or four years out.
EA has made it clear that more investment is going towards their sports games, like the addition of The Journey to FIFA 17.
The company is also investing in the Star Wars franchise, which is very great news for Star Wars fans.
EA is also experimenting with new technologies that have been stressed on and will continue to be stressed on in the future like virtual reality, streaming technology and mobile, trying to make sure that they’re”very focused on where the future is going, to be able to be there when any platform is developed or any shift in platform happens.”
