Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order's release date hasn't arrived just yet, but EA has already confirmed its plans for another game set in a galaxy far, far away.
Speaking in the company's latest earnings call, EA's chief financial officer, Blake Jorgensen, confirmed a new Star Wars game is on the way, but it might not be for a while. "There's some other Star Wars stuff that might drop into [financial year] '22 or maybe even earlier, but more to come on that," he said. Financial year 2022 runs from April 2021 through March 2022.
EA currently holds exclusive rights to make Battlefront II, Galaxy of Heroes, and more. However, there are currently no more clues as to what form this next Star Wars game could take.
In the same call, Jorgensen confirmed the next Dragon Age is still in development, but again it might not arrive for quite a while. "You should assume that there's Dragon Age out there, we've talked about it publicly that it's in the works – it probably comes after fiscal 22," he stated.

The company also revealed that Apex Legends has ed 70 million players, while The Sims franchise has made over $5 billion across its lifetime.
