The Star Wars never end: Battlefront sequel coming in 2017
----------------------------------------------------------
EA spills its upcoming schedule - and Titanfall 2 is out this
year.

EA says that Star Wars Battlefront is driving their profits.
And that's exactly why we're getting a sequel next year.

Electronic Arts confirmed the news during an investor call
late last night, confirming that DICE's Battlefront sequel
will release sometime in the 2017 calendar year. Star Wars
Battlefront has shipped more than 14 million copies since
November, and DICE has three more add-on packs coming between
now and early 2017.

It's not the only Star Wars game in development at EA, of
course: Visceral Games is making an action-adventure game
that we now know will release in 2018, and it's headed up by
creative director Amy Hennig, who formerly oversaw the
Uncharted series.

EA says they'll "most likely have one Star Wars title a year
for the next three of four years," according to chief
financial officer Blake Jorgensen. That probably means that
Respawn Entertainment's newly announced Star Wars game will
probably come in 2019, which makes sense given that
development is still super early.
