At its E3 2016 press conference today, EA said that DICE and Motive were working on a new version of Star Wars: Battlefront for release in 2017. Visceral Games are creating an action-adventure game with an "original narrative set in the Star Wars universe with all-new characters."

Respawn Entertainment is developing "a different style of gameplay” which takes place in a different timeline we have yet to explore with our EA Star Wars titles." In other words, almost every EA studio is flat out making something Star Warish.

And while the company didn't make any mention of it at the news conference, the preview video it showed fans offered a very brief glimpse of a player wearing a PlayStation VR headset, while an X-Wing's cockpit was shown on screen. That's likely to stoke anticipation about a reboot of the classic 1997 title "X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter."

EA and Lucasfilm signed a multiyear licensing deal in 2013. Due, in large part, to the strength of "Star Wars Battlefront," EA handily beat its earnings estimate in its most recent quarter. Star Trek Bridge, the simulation of the Bridge inside of an Enterprise, a big VR commitment from EA looks like a fun game too.
