On stage at EA Play 2016, Electronic Arts has showcased a number of its future Star Wars projects, while a new trailer showed some behind-the-scenes footage of EA's various Star Wars development teams, with some brief in-game footage.
The three currently existing Star Wars games from EA (the mobile game Galaxy of Heroes, BioWare's MMO Knights of the Old Republic and DICE's Battlefront) will continue to get new content at least for the next year. In 2017, there will be an all new Star Wars: Battlefront game, which will be co-developed by between DICE and EA's new Motive studios in Montreal. It will feature content from the new Star Wars films
Visceral Games will release its new Star Wars game in 2018, and Titanfall developer Respawn will also be creating their own Star Wars game, set in an entirely new era and universe, and featuring brand new and original characters. Development includes even more motion capture than before, to portray the true fluidity of tense lightsaber combat.
With lots and more to come over the coming months, we'll keep you posted on any upcoming Star Wars game news.

EA provides an overview of all its upcoming Star Wars projects
Drowning in output. All good. Hope split screen frame rates improve. Incidentally, where is Battlefield 2?
battlefront 2? give them time 1 just came out. .
Screw them. Being SW fan, I did play SWTOR - stories are amazing. But... Credit cap at the point you can't buy anything from the stores. And... You have to pay to get additional skill bar? REALLY? Do they know how many buttons a general character has? :-D ah, they do. You're forced to buy it to be able to play it at all.
I pay for actual content, not this made-up crap.
SWTOR is an MMORPG. Much like WoW and other MMORPGs, it has a monthly fee associated with it. What's wrong with SWTOR being a monthly subscription?
I'm not against monthly subscription. Everything except story is locked for free players, and it's perfectly fine. Locking the content(pvp, dungeons, guilds, all that we love MMORPG for) is one thing, making up artificial crutches to make the game impossible to play from certain level is another.
I think you mean Star Wars: The Old Republic. Knights of the Old Republic is an older game.
No return of Star Wars 1313? If only they released the scratched BFIII game.

i love Knights of the old Republic. I wish they would get back to it and make something out of it. pretty awesome stuff.
Yes, I think it was one of the best RPG I've ever played (maybe the best). I would love to see another single-player game like this. With all of the different things they're doing, I hope one of these makes it to release also.
I like hearing more, but I am so bummed out that I have to wait until 2018 for a non-battlefront Star Wars game...
Forget about EA's Battlefront, Galaxy in Turmoil is all you Lucasarts' SWBF wanted.
Lotsa goodies for PSVR incoming. Nice.
Awww no Kinect Star Wars 2?
