    For anything Star Wars, I expect the announcements would still come from EA, but they'd still also get announced on the LucasFilm Games accounts. There's every possibility that while EA will keep the licence, they will no longer exclusively be making Star Wars games after those two years.

    Did you or anyone else try that offline thing yet? I'm getting a bit sick from getting blasted online by 1200 damage bullets from Droids with eastern european names.

    Correct. EA is a giant company one of the biggest Even if the license isn’t renewed in 2023 I expect that EA will still make Star Wars games. Just not exclusively

    Tbh I haven't played BF2 in months. I found myself playing BF 2015 more than the newer game. I think it's a combination of the play modes and characters that drew me to it; especially the custom characters.

    Huh. Seems EA are no longer exclusively making Star Wars games as of this minute.



    It's going to be years into the future before we see this one, but it seems as though the contract has already been renegotiated.

    Must have been EA. I doubt Disney would have been so disappointed that they would go through the trouble to do that

    No way. Disney was incredibly disappointed with the Battlefront 2 controversy at first. I think that started the ball rolling for this.

    I hope we do still get Respawn in the mix doing another Jedi: Fallen Order game though.

    It’s also possible that the contract allows for game development to start so long as the game doesn’t come out before 2023

    I guess EA stated that they will still be making Star Wars games as well. So that's good news for Fallen Order 2.

    That's a reminder I should probably finish the first one :p

    just a follow up on the free pc version being offered by the epic games store - it appears to be the celebration edition, which includes all characters/emotes/skins already unlocked. the store says that you'll have the opportunity to download from january 14-21, although it must unlock later on today.

    i'm going to give it a shot tonight, and try to find some mods. a new one dropped for mother talzin last night that i was watching on a twitch stream, looked incredible.

    edit: as of 11a est, the free game is now live.

    I "purchased" the game on the Epic store and I guess it'll just sit there on my account up through the time I plan on getting a better PC to play it. I already have the game on the PS4 but the opportunity to use modded skins intrigues me.

    Yeah there are way better character mods now that aren’t just skins over existing heroes. The Ahsoka and Savage ones are really impressive from what I’ve seen.

    I’m glad this game is getting big again. It’s so good. Now all I can hope for is more offical updates, including characters and maps.

    Good luck getting into a game though. The maas influx of new players crashed the servers and it took a while for EA to adjust them enough to cope with new capacity.

    I tried playing it last night, the wait time was pretty long compared to before the Epic release. Though it will probably die down after a couple of weeks.

    We wouldn't need it if they kept supporting this game.

    Adding updates related to Mandalorian for example.
    I heard they had plans to bring in Ahsoka & Ventress but it never got done.

    absolutely do need it. there's a lot more wrong with bf2 than the lack of characters people wanted, and hopefully it is all addressed in the new game.

    4+ years of free dlc for a game released in 2017 is just not the way things work anymore, for the most part. looking forward to the next game.

    There's so many rumors going around regarding this game; and a lot of it pertains to EA no longer having the monopoly on SW games. The one that I find interesting was the reports about some of the voice actors from the campaign mode got back behind the mic as well as performed in mo-caps. We could all take it for what it's worth; but I'd like to think it may be a prequel game to the campaign of BF2; in particular the Inferno Squad story.

    I know among the biggest complaints that many people had of the campaign mode in BF2 was that
    they actually wanted to play on the Empire's side from beginning to end for a chance; and if it's a prequel game featuring Iden, her father and the rest of the gang, that would be the case. You'd assume a prequel game would lead up until her assignment on Endor, and the rest is history.

    It would feel too weird to play as Iden as a villain now, imo. I'm just too used to her being a Rebellion hero.

    The two main things I'd like to see in a BF3 would be a larger single player campaign with original environments, and larger multiplayer maps on the scale of traditional battlefield games like Battlefield 3&4. Battlefront 1&2's multiplayer is basically an evolution of the Battlefield: Bad Company series, which was good, but has become dated because it was designed to be a downgraded compromise for the PS3/360 console generation. With the new console generation beginning, Dice will not have to choose between sacrificing map size and player counts for graphics, they can have both!

    The massive popularity of Battle Royal multiplayer shooters means that Dice should seriously consider this as well. It would be a perfect format for Star Wars' scum and villainy characters. Heck, I'd be perfectly happy with BF3 ditching the Rebels/Empire setting altogether and going with smugglers, bounty hunters, mercenaries, mandalorians, etc. There is a rich history there to be drawn from.

    BF3 will almost certainly be made by Dice again. I mean who else would you give it to? Activision?

    Well given that you already know her fate from the campaign; there's not much more story to give to her moving forward. A prequel, at least, gives her and the Inferno Squad more story to tell.
