Why didn't EA make another Knights of the Old Republic game? Yeah, I know EA has a nine year old MMO called The Old Republic that delivers a ton of Star Wars related content in the same amount of time. But why didn't he create a new KOTOR game on consoles and PC? Why would you want to license Star Wars and not create this game when you own BioWare, the original developer of the series? I'm sure there are plenty of practical, real-world reasons: various teams at BioWare have been focused on developing Anthem, Mass Effect: Andromeda, and on a frustrating road to finally making Dragon Age 4. And yes. , this MMO has had major updates in the meantime, although the genre itself has lost popularity. Still, I can't think of a game that makes more sense in our current age of The Witcher and Skyrim selling endless copies than a high-fidelity Star Wars RPG. However, KOTOR 3 is just one of many opportunities EA has left on the table in the seven years since it licensed Star Wars. Now though, I'm starting to wonder if EA has finally turned around with the Star Wars universe. The future doesn't look so bright: Reports indicate that three Star Wars games have been canceled in the last few years, including Project Ragtag, a third-person game based on Amy Hennig's story of Uncharted, and long-defunct visceral games. But the recent shape of the bulk editor suggests things are headed in the right direction. According to an earlier report from Kotaku, EA follows up last year's Jedi Fallen Order coup with a sequel, which isn't unexpected. And this week, EA announced Star Wars: Squadrons, a game that seems completely of the opposite kind: a 5v5 first-person space combat game that will be released at an affordable price, with full VR support. This follows more than two years of well-received updates to Star Wars: Battlefront 2, after a notoriously bad launch. I don't think it's a particularly good shooter, personally, but it's a very good Star Wars experience, and it's full of characters and worlds from the series' story. DICE and EA have changed the game and their availability on PS Plus should keep the player base healthy for years to come.
