It will also allow EA to space its shooter games out to allow for players to have plenty of time between each.įor the quarter ended SeptemEA said it was the number one publisher on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles in the Western World, with FIFA 15, NHL 15, Madden NFL 15, EA Sports UFC, Titanfall, Battlefield 4 and FIFA 14 leading the way.ĮA Access is also doing well for the firm and it has "exceeded expectations," according to Jorgensen.ĭuring the quarter, EA said players logged over 1.9 billion hours of gameplay on console and PC and that its monthly active users on mobile averaged over 155 million.ĮA's mobile sports games averaged more than 40 million monthly active users in Q2, up 250% year-over-year, driven by Madden NFL Mobile and FIFA 15 Ultimate Team Mobile.

The shooter from Visceral Games will launch on March 17 in North America, March 19 in Europe and March 20 in the UK. By the time it hits, if it hits, it will have three trilogies of Skywalker Saga films to pull from and another trilogy or two from other places in the Star Wars Saga to pull from as well, which is pretty exciting.EA announced the release date for Battlefield Hardline and a timeframe for FPS Star Wars Battlefront this evening. I honestly feared that they Battlefront was going to be seen as a tarnished brand or topic and I had little hope for a new one at all. However, the fact that it even has a team says something positive for Battlefront fans as if the endeavor wasn’t making any money at all, there simply wouldn’t be a team at all. The team that is working on the current game is pretty small.
The possibility is there but as of now Star Wars: Battlefront III is in a whiteboard phase and there isn’t anything wildly significant going down at the moment. There is still a possible Star Wars: Battlefront III in the future. All of this conveniently lined up for me to ask about the future of the series if any. With the news that Lucasfilm Games will most likely be handling how games are treated and licensed out in the future, EA and Battlefront have gone through another round of being a punching bag because of their missteps regarding the launch of Battlefront II.
