Jason Schreier, of Kotaku, says that between both games is the sequel to the successful Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order, having another canceled.

Star Wars fans still have a lot to expect from Electronic Arts, and according to Jason Schreier of Kotaku, there are currently exactly two games in development at the Canadian company based on the galactic saga. According to him, one of them would already be a sequel to one of the great games of the past 2019, such as Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order, from Respawn. This is not really a surprise, given the great reception this game had, and it is practically a matter of time before the studio also in charge of Apex Legends started working on a second installment.

Schreier says that the other game is a "smaller and more unusual" project that is being carried out at Motive Studios, the studio that began commanding Jade Raymond, now outside EA. Obviously it is still too early to know more details about this other title, but it makes clear that EA's plans regarding Star Wars remain ambitious despite the lukewarm success of Star Wars Battlefront deliveries.

Even so, DICE continues to work to improve Star Wars Battlefront 2, and after having made a 180-degree turn to its business model and progress, it has not stopped providing content since its launch in 2017 and even improving it graphically. . It is worth mentioning this subsaga in charge of the Swedish studio, since those two games are not the only ones that were in development in EA …

Another new Star Wars game, canceled

The news of Schreier regarding Star Wars does not end with those two games in development since according to him, there was a third party that was finally canceled. This would have been a spin off of Star Wars Battlefront, and would have been in charge of EA Vancouver from assets of the canceled game of Visceral Games, and whose script was written by Amy Hennig. With the code name Viking, Electronic Arts would have finally granted its development to Criterion, before finally deciding to cancel it.
