EA's internal studios are also working on games set in far away galaxies. "Unchartered" writer Amy Henning is working on a third-person "Star Wars" title, which is due to come out in 2018. EA has described it as "an original, authentic narrative in the 'Star Wars' universe."
Respawn Entertainment, the studio behind the mech shooter "Titanfall," is likewise making a third-person action-adventure game set in "Star Wars" universe. There was no release date given for Respawn's new game.
It is still unclear though if Motive is working with DICE on "Star Wars: Battlefront" and at the same time working with Amy Henning.
'Star Wars: Battlefront' VR Experience.
What's more exciting is EA's reveal of 'Star Wars: Battlefront' VR experience in the next few years. The video included the briefest glimpse at a PlayStation VR headset and X-Wing cockpit.
EA said that DICE is working with Criterion, creator of "Burnout," in an exclusive "Star Wars: Battlefront" VR mission for PlayStation VR this year, The Verge said.
Check out the video released by EA and get excited to see so many Star Wars games planned out for you.
