If you were hoping to hear something official from Visceral Games in the near future about the development and eventual release of their forthcoming Star Wars game, chances are you’re not gonna be happy with this latest news that was posted in an article over on IGN.
Amy Hennig and Visceral Games’ untitled Star Wars game is still “a few years” away from releasing, according to EA CFO Blake Jorgensen.
Speaking to shareholders in EA’s Q3 2016 earnings call, Jorgensen was asked how important it was to reduce “less profitable or non-profitable titles” in the company’s portfolio. He went on to explain that the company was investing in some action-based games, which is when he revealed the release window news.
“We are down to less than 15 major SKUs,” said Jorgensen. “And that feels like a good size of the business and we are obviously announcing that we are investing in some action-based SKUs by bringing people like Jade Raymond and Amy Hennig into our organization to help build those. And those are obviously a few years out in our SKU plan.”
