Electronic Arts

In the recent Electronic Arts quarterly financial conference call held for analysts and investors, chief executive officer Andrew Wilson gave an update on EA’s plans for upcoming games.
For the fiscal year 2023 in Q4 the publisher has four games in the pipeline that have yet to be announced. The first title is from a major IP, the second is a title involved with a partner developer, the third sets to be a remake and the last is a sports title.
There were no other hints or details given exactly what the four titles are, or what the major IP is. Electronic Arts has already announced the Dead Space remake, but the footnotes in the presentation share that the title has not been “publicly disclosed”.
This makes for quite the busy timeline for EA with The Lord of the Rings mobile game also in the works. What franchise would you want to see gain another entry or even a remake? Let us know in the comments below.

Starfield

Bethesda announced this week that upcoming Starfield and Redfall have both been delayed to an early 2023 release. Starfield the new IP RPG set in space was suppose to release later this year, however will now be delayed to 2023.
While the news is somewhat disappointing, it should however be good to know that the games will be taking time for more polish. Bethesda has also promised a deep-dive happening sometime soon. With the Xbox and Bethesda joint showcase happening on June 12th maybe we’ll see more there.
Starfield is the highly anticipated first new IP from Bethesda in over 25 years. It promises to be an amazing open-world. Progression will not be linear and will focus heavily on the player’s sense of exploration and discovery. Created specifically “for wanderers”, Starfield is a “NASA-Punk” game that has many joinable factions and interesting explorable locations.
Redfall, on the other hand, is a new open-world vampire-themed game from the creative teams behind the Dishonored series, Arkane Austin. The title is a cooperative first-person shooter that blends the developer’s signature and meaty combat into a vampire-slaying setting.
