Star Wars Battlefront ‘Likely’ Coming in 2015

EA has revealed that Star Wars Battlefront is “likely” to be released in summer 2015.

During EA’s annual meeting of stockholders today, CFO Blake Jorgensen said Battlefront will “most likely come out around the same time that the Star Wars movies start to come out, probably in the summer of ’15.”

I am disappointed in waiting that long, but they had to start from the ground-up with the next gen consoles, as well as figure out what story they want to tell (and if it coincides with the new movie.) I also know DICE should make all of my expectations come true, so I am OK waiting.

Hyped... give us a Knights of the Old republic 3 too.

Since BioWare announced they are working on a brand new IP, doesn't look like KotOR 3 is coming.

I cannot like this enough

Very disappointed we didn't get moar Star Wars at the EA briefing.

What's likely is that they are going to do what they did with Battlefront 2, and incorporate small cutscenes and story lines from the new movie to center the single-player campaign of Battlefront around. That's why you didn't get much information, and I think that lack of information is a mistake. If all you have is a small amount and you are a year away, build that excitement for next year.

 

[ThomasTomasz]

Oh Bill, is there any word on who is developing Battlefront? Bioware is rumored to have a new Star Wars title they are developing, so if it's not Battlefront, maybe you can see if you can get a hint as to what that is.

Last I heard it was DICE

So now I am really curious since they are working on SWTOR still, and they have always said that the MMO was the spiritual successor to KOTOR.

 

[Swarley]

Yeah, it's DICE. That's been known since the teaser at E3 2013.

 

[ThomasTomasz]

I was confused for a minute when I saw Bioware was developing a second game, I actually remember that now. I'm lost if it's not another KOTOR game, unless they were picked to somehow continue The Force Unleashed, even though I would kindly let that series die in a dumpster fire :tiptoe:

BioWare did say it's a new IP.

BioWare did say it's a new IP.

Even if it's a new Star Wars game, that doesn't really count as a new IP. That's like saying Halo Wars was a brand new IP. It's just a take on an outstanding IP and adding to it, even if it was done by a different developer.

Wtf is with all of these videos being labeled "Game play"? Fuck you. There wasn't an ounce of game play in that shit. This is why it's hard for me to really get super excited about E3. It's mostly just lame two minute trailers that don't show you anything.

Sounds like we should expect another gameplay reveal similar to BF3 and BF4 where DICE put out ten minute "pre-alpha" gameplay videos monthly leading up to E3 next year based on that "see more in 2015" bit at the end.

Or the videos used to push SWTOR two years before the release. Glad they are taking their time and doing it right, because I am sure what was already developed was outdated.

I hope it's a first person game, or has that option, but I am not sure how that would work.

EA has announced Battlefront will be shipping next year between October and December... Will be first person.
