EA Say Respawn Entertainment's Star Wars Game is Coming Before March 2020

EA has said the Respawn Entertainment's mysterious Star Wars game is due out sometime during the fiscal year 2020.

We've not had a lot of information about Respawn's Star Wars title since it was announced way back in 2016. We know it's being headed by Sony Santa Monica veteran Stig Asmussen, but other than that, we've remained almost entirely in the dark. We don't know what it's about, when it takes place or even what it is (despite the vague descriptor of 'action game'). Whatever it does end up being though, we now have a release window.

During an investor call last night, it was revealed the untitled project was aiming for release in fiscal year 2020. For those who don't know, that's April 1, 2019 to March 31, 2020. In the call, CFO Blake Jorgensen gave the date, but also added that it wasn't clear when Star Wars Battlefront III would be coming. This is interesting as thus far, Battlefront and Battlefield (one of those is coming this year) have alternated years. If Battlefield is this year, Battlefront III hasn't started production and Respawn's title is set release in the time period, you have to wonder if Battlefront will be replaced in 2019 by Respawn's effort, marking an October/November 2019 release.

Of course, that is all conjecture, but something worth keeping in mind. Titanfall 2 was excellent and I'm quite fond of the first title too. I'll always be interested in seeing what the developer puts out, and seeing them run around in a new genre in the world of Star Wars does set the mind racing. Here's hoping it all comes together as there is a huge potential here.
