Star Wars Battlefront and its sequel was a good start when it comes to the new wave of Star Wars video games hitting shelves since Disney purchased Lucasfilm (and LucasArts) but what's next? Well, according to Gamespot, Electronic Arts is currently developing an open-world Star Wars game which is no doubt going to get fans seriously excited; just imagine Mass Effect with a Star Wars makeover!
A listing for a lead online engineer position at EA Vancouver has been spotted, and it reads: "Lead a team to deliver Online features for a Star Wars Open World project." Apparently, it will be available on multiple platforms and will include multiplayer as the job requires "experience implementing Online features such as Matchmaking, Asynchronous interactions, Server-host migration, etc."
EA hasn't officially announced anything in regards to this but it seems the developer is now overhauling the title Visceral Games was working on before being shut down. The original plan for the game was for it to be a "story-based, linear adventure," but with gamers moving away from adventures like that, it seems EA is now adding an open-world element which will no doubt make it even more epic.
