Three New Star Wars Games from EA/Respawn

Respawn are working on a Star Wars flavoured FPS for EA, as well as a sequel to JFO and a strategy title too. I'm trying to not get too excited, but Respawn have a great pedigree with shooters. Fingers crossed.

Press release on Lucasfilm Games.

Any chance they would give them Battlefront III?

I think one of the guys involved with the FPS was a dev on the original Battlefront series as it happens, but I think BF3 is dead for now.

It's EA... It's gonna be a mess.

There is that, true enough. However, Respawn's record is pretty good. My main worry is the workload they're undertaking - these three games at various stages of development, continuing work on Apex Legends, and another unannounced title they're supposed to be working on. Hopefully EA give them the resources they need or they'll be stretched to breaking point.

I wonder was it because it was a single player game, which EA pretty much ignored for years.
