Some very interesting details about the future of Electronic Arts have been revealed to the public through a special event for the company’s investors that was streamed online. Among the most important announcements made by the company is a mix of good and bad news regarding the Star Wars Jedi saga. On one hand, we know that the development is progressing well. On the other hand, it has been confirmed that this third installment will be the last. Quite unusual considering the company’s usual way of working.
Star Wars Jedi prepares its final chapter
The news was confirmed by Laura Miele, president of the entertainment and technology division, at the mentioned special event for investors where EA took the opportunity to boast about the sales figures of their Star Wars games, stating that they had generated over $5 billion in revenue thanks to the titles in this IP. In this sense, the games of Cal Kestis have contributed substantially, having amassed “over 40 million players worldwide.”
It was after flexing their muscles that the Electronic Arts executive revealed the news: “Respawn is working hard to deliver the final chapter of this exciting story to players.” Although initially it may be disappointing news, the original director of the Star Wars Jedi saga (Stig Amussen) has always stated that his idea was a story in three acts. In this sense, even though he has since left the project, the company has decided to respect this creative vision.
It’s hard to tell what will happen with Star Wars video games after the release of the final chapter of this saga that began with Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. On one hand, the situation of the intellectual property rights has become more complex over the years. On the other hand, both Electronic Arts and Disney seem pleased with the results they are achieving with these types of projects. Experience tells us that as long as everything goes well, there shouldn’t be any problems between the companies.
