Courtesy of Star Wars Gaming we have news from the EA Quarter One Earnings Call. Their CEO, Andrew Wilson spoke on the performance of Star Wars: Battlefront, and also alluded to the release plan of EA moving forward.
More broadly thinking about the Star Wars franchise, again, this is a long-term play for us. We’re very excited. We were overjoyed with the performance of Star Wars Battlefront. We’re overjoyed with the 6.6 million players that played the game through Q1. We are continuing to support that.
As each movie comes out over the time of our relationship, we expect that the Star Wars community will continue to grow, and we will be doing more best to align, in some cases, the content and experiences, and in some cases, just a passion for Star Wars, but certainly aligning what we’re doing around the Star Wars universe with what is more broadly happening with Star Wars pop culture. And we think that’s a win as we continue to deliver for the fans long-term.
With the Rogue One DLC already announced for Battlefront this winter, we are already seeing this plan in action.
