Bringing a massive surprise for the fans, EA just announced that it’s working on three new Star Wars projects. Apex Legends’ Respawn is the studio that will be in charge of developing these games for the publisher.
Since the launch of the mesmerizing Jedi Fallen Order, it’s the biggest news for any Star Wars lover. In case anyone is not aware, Respawn Entertainment was the developer behind the 2019 blockbuster title.
We’re excited to announce THREE new Star Wars games officially in the works from @Respawn. Read more and pass on what you’ve learned: https://t.co/pKZFHqDA1W pic.twitter.com/n1byCzaDtL

What to expect from the future titles under Star Wars franchise?
Announcing the projects, EA mentioned that Respawn’s Stig Asmussen is already busy on the next Star Wars Jedi title. The company didn’t exactly reveal it to be Jedi Fallen Order 2, though. However, given that the studio also worked on the original, chances are that its next project is the sequel.
Furthermore, there is a fresh FPS game also, which is being worked upon by director Peter Hirschmann. Apart from this, a third Star Wars strategy title will arrive in the future. For producing the latter, Respawn will partner with the independent studio Bit Reactor.
EA also confirmed that the work has begun already for the three Star Wars games. And at the moment, Respawn is looking to hire more people to join its growing team.
Fans react in a mixed manner to new announcement
Meanwhile, the moment Electronic Arts came up with its major reveal, the fans of Star Wars wasted no time in expressing their feelings. While some of them like the idea of having three new games, others were just simply disappointed.
Many of the users showed their enthusiasm, especially for the next Jedi game being confirmed. Assuming it to be the sequel to Fallen Order, they hoped for it to be as good as its predecessor from 2019.

Well we know one is Jedi Fallen Order 2.
I hope the FPS is a Republic Commando game. Give me it!

One of the worst things about Jedi Fallen Order 1 was the backtracking on the maps, it didn't make it easier that they were labyrinths with many slow/narrow spaces hiding the loading screen.
Hope Respawn address this by adding fast travel or something similar to Fallen Order 2.— Cookies and Dream (@pabin8maere) January 25, 2022

I love how all these people are suddenly pretending like Jedi: Fallen Order didn't exist and that it wasn't one of the best Star Wars games of the entire decade.

If that FPS game is SP focused, then that’d be great!
Jedi is ofcourse gonna be good
A strategy game, meh

A lot of fans were furious as well, to not see any news for the next chapter in Star Wars Battlefront series. Since the launch of 2017’s Battlefront 2, there’s been no update on the franchise’s continuation. Hence, it was obvious to see a negative reaction from those who were hoping to hear more optimistic news about the franchise.
Really sad about this. :/ Battlefront 2 was in a really bad state when it was released, but later it became a very good game, tbh
Unfortunately, a lot of people never got to experience that. BF3 definitely would have given this series another great chance.

So does this mean since battlefield 2042 was a massive flop you can go back and continue support and content for battlefront 2? Cause your reason for cutting battlefront was to work on battlefield lol if not battlefront 3 plz

We just want Battlefront 3 with all the maps (+way more new additions), all the heroes & villains (+way more new additions), and more customization features for accessories (armor player looks, etc.) and abilities.

The only thing I read here is "Respawn too busy making us Star Wars cash, no time for Titanfall 3"
