The American company is waiting for the next-generation consoles, where they hope to take out a multitude of games from their sagas.
Electronic Arts has shared its expectations with the next generation of consoles during the meeting with its group of shareholders this morning on January 31. The North American company, which makes a positive balance of its last quarter (FY3 / 2020), ensures that the power of PS5 and Xbox Series X "will blow our heads" with what they have in place and that the hardware will be "substantially" more powerful than the current one.
"The power of the new consoles will be substantially greater than that of existing consoles," says Blake Jorgensen, CFO of EA, during a financial meeting. “We can do much more (with PS5 and Xbox Series X). The things we are doing will blow people's heads. ”

Jorgensen adds that a period of great “innovation” awaits us not only by Electronic Arts but also by the industry as a whole. We are not only talking about more careful video games where loading times will be reduced thanks to the incorporation of SSD storage memories and processing units that will save many processes along the way, but even the creation of new genres that were hitherto impossible of posing for a mere technical question.
EA has declined to comment on what they are working on, but they have advanced that they have a plan to publish 14 video games for the next fiscal year; that is, the period from April 1, 2020 to March 31, 2021. Intellectual properties such as NHL, FIFA, The Sims, Star Wars, Need for Speed or Plants vs. Zombies have been during the last years their main sources of income
