Star Wars Battlefront 2 shall be all that and a bag of chips, says EA: greater, higher and with a correct story marketing campaign

Star Wars Battlefront is simply the beginning of what EA has deliberate for the sequence.

Star Wars Battlefront 2 got here up throughout EA’s quarterly financials today, and CEO Andrew Wilson assured buyers the second sport shall be greater and higher than its bestselling predecessor.

“Our next Star Wars Battlefront will be even bigger, taking players into more locations, and allowing them to play with more heroes and characters across multiple Star Wars eras,” he mentioned.

“There will be new ways to play, including an all-new single-player campaign, and much, much more that we are excited to share with our players in the months ahead.”

Star Wars Battlefront 2 at E3 2017, then, not that there was any doubt; EA has mentioned repeatedly that Star Wars Battlefront 2 is coming in 2017.

In a put up on the EA Star Wars site, EA mentioned there’s no extra Skirmish content material deliberate for 2015’s Star Wars Battlefront, as a result of the crew has moved onto a brand new Star Wars sport. Although it doesn’t explicitly say this can be a Star Wars Battlefront sequel, the official EA Star Wars Twitter linked the put up and Wilson’s feedback collectively, which appears fairly clear.

Both the put up and Wilson famous, once more, that Jade Raymond’s EA Motive and the post-Need for Speed Criterion are each jobbing on Star Wars Battlefront 2 to help out DICE. (Tangent: Motive is also helping Visceral with its narrative-driven Star Wars game, so it appears like EA was critical when it mentioned we gained’t see Raymond’s new IP until at the least 2020.)

So there you could have it; probably not any new data, however the first rustlings of what’s certain to be a significant advertising push on Star Wars Battlefront later this yr.
