No future Star Wars games?
Anyone else surprised EA hasn’t announced a new Star Wars game? With all the possibilities in the Star Wars universe, it’s a cash cow sitting on the shelf. And with Disney announcing nearly a dozen n...

@Dvveebo Star Wars 1313 had been cancelled by Disney because they wanted everything that come after they bought SW to be cannon.
And Rag Tag was very linear, that is one of the reasons it was cancelled (the other: it was in development hell, they couldn't even show a demo to the bosses). It's cancellation brought us the saying "EA said single player games are dead". When the guy actually said nowadays people doesn't like linear, single player games that much.
@elt117 The only games that will certainly come are FO2 and LegoSW

Oh, I suppose I should have used the term "code-named Orca game" in reference to what Project Ragtag was becoming...
Although, it's also been suggested the revamped (open world additive version of) Project Rag Tag went by even another different name, so referencing what PRT *would have become* is kind of tricky.
I found it easier to just call it by it's initial name. I'm under the impression it was still largely that game (same assets, for the most part, a storyline to follow?) only with open world being added.
- @Dvveebo Oh I understand now.
Yeah, but that rework was killed pretty soon. They probably couldn't salvage much.
Anyway a bountyhunter/mandalorian game should come. It even can work with live service model (if done right) that EA likes.They won't make a large game unless the contract is extended
It takes years for a good game to get developed
So it's not worth there time unless that happens
Plus if there contract doesn't get renewed the servers will pretty much shut down for all the games when there contract would expire
- @ToddyRocket1 Did you read their contract?
And they still have more than 2 years.
