EA Attending Star Wars Event Next Month, But Why?

Electronic Arts will attend next month's Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim, California, but right now, it's unclear why. The publisher is listed as an exhibitor for the show, to be held April 16-19, but no other details are provided on the event's website.

GameSpot has contacted EA, asking what the developer has in store for the show.

EA signed a ten-year deal with Star Wars franchise owner Disney in 2013 for new games based on the series to be developed by two of its marquee studios: Battlefield series outfit DICE and Dead Space creator Visceral.

DICE is working on Star Wars: Battlefront, which is due to launch by the end of the year. Meanwhile, Visceral is rumored to be producing an open-world Star Wars game.

Former Uncharted creative director Amy Hennig has joined EA to work on Visceral's new Star Wars title.

Star Wars: Battlefront's design director previously teased that DICE would reveal more about the game sometime this spring, which would align nicely with the Star Wars Celebration.
