Electronic Arts will be the exclusive provider of games based on the Star Wars series, Disney and the game developer announced jointly today. Following Disney’s acquisition of Lucasfilm last year, it shut down the LucasArts game development division, indicating its preference to license console games rather than develop them in-house. Now, Electronic Arts will be the only publisher creating Star Wars games for a “core gaming audience,†according to today’s press release. Electronic Arts said that its in-house game teams DICE (Battlefield) and Visceral (Dead Space) will work on Star Wars titles, in addition to BioWare, the team behind EA’s existing Star Wars MMO The Old Republic. Meanwhile, Disney will “retain certain rights to develop new titles within the mobile, social, tablet and online game categories.†Insert your EA/Dark Side jokes here. _______________ http://steamcommunity.com/id/citizen059 |
