At EA right now, we have multiple studios building a variety of great Star Wars games spanning different genres. We are all united by our teams’ passion for Star Wars™ stories, characters, and adventures.

Today, I’m thrilled to be able to announce that EA and the talented team at Respawn Entertainment have expanded our relationship to include the development of an all-new 3^rd person action adventure game set in the Star Wars universe. They join our other great studios – Visceral Games, DICE, Capital Games, BioWare, Motive and more – who are currently working on Star Wars projects. If you’re interested in joining us on this adventure, you can visit our Careers page – we have openings at Visceral and Motive and will be sharing more on these experiences soon.

Over the past few years, I’ve had the opportunity to spend a lot of time with Vince Zampella and his group. Their obsession with making games that feel amazing has helped make Titanfall one of the most successful new game launches of this generation. And now, with a new team led by Stig Asmussen, we get to see what they can do when you combine that great attention to gameplay with the power of Star Wars.

There’s never been a better time to be a Star Wars fan. The passion we’re seeing for Star Wars from gamers – whether they’ve been along for the ride since Star Wars™: Episode IV: A New Hope™, or were introduced to the magic of Star Wars with Star Wars™: The Force Awakens™ – is fueling our development teams and our partners to create unique interactive extensions of this deep, meaningful universe. As a game maker, nothing is more exciting.

Thank you and May the Fourth be with you,

Patrick

For some reason the link was linking me to Origin, hopefully it's fixed.

Oh hell yes.

Take all my republic credits, EA.

I'd like to cast EA into the pit of Carkoon, the nesting place of the all-powerful Sarlaac.

That said, I am so excited to see what this game has to offer! It's a good time to be a Star Wars fan :)

Sounds interesting.

Just the other day I was wondering where Stig had ended up.

So his space game gets canceled by Sony and he moves onto working on a Star Wars IP for Respawn/EA. Not a bad move for him. 

I thought visceral were doing this? An uncharted style star wars adventure....

So are respawn working a third game or is this the one visceral were rumoured to have?

Sounds great, we need more Star wars games.

And surely, one of those other projects is a new KOTOR.

So they canned their new IP? Seriously?

Let's just hope he doesn't waste another $100 million of another company's money/time.

Respawn is working on a third one. Visceral is still making their Star Wars game.
