EA will shock no one by releasing more Star Wars: Battlefront titles and other games which utilise its 10 year Star Wars license with Disney, EA CFO Blake Jorgensen has revealed.
“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,” explained Jorgensen at the UBS Global Technology Conference in San Francisco as reported by GameSpot.
Jorgensen also confirmed that the publisher’s deal with Disney covers all Star Wars movies both old and new.
“We get access to all of the historical content as well as all the new content developed,” Jorgensen said. “The beauty of the Star Wars franchise is it’s almost unlimited in what you can do with it. We know Disney has done a great job with other franchises and we believe they’ll do the same with Star Wars over time in delivering new worlds, new characters, new vehicles, all the things that make great video games. Our goal is not to make video games directly about the movies, it’s to use the IP in the movie to make great, exciting games.”
EA expects to ship 13 million units of Star Wars: Battlefront by the end or March 2016, indicating that the license could prove extremely lucrative for the publisher.
