Star Wars: Battlefront 2 out in 2017; features content “from the new movies”

12 May 2016

EA CFO Blake Jorgensen used the company’s fourth quarter investor call to confirm that Star Wars: Battlefront 2 is in development and will release in 2017.

Moreover, Jorgensen said the game would feature “bigger and better worlds” alongside content “from the new movies.”

Star Wars: Battlefront has so far only used characters and locations from the original Star Wars trilogy. The only exception is a map set on The Force Awaken‘s Jakku, though that’s the only real connection to the newest Star Wars film.

The next Star Wars film, Rogue One, will screen later in 2016.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
