Electronic Arts won't release a new Battlefield instalment until 2025 at the earliest, but sees great potential for the franchise

Electronic Arts has released its latest financial report, boasting about its achievements.

However, we will pay attention not to the figures, but to the subsequent conversation with investors.

Here's What We Know

EA's Vice President and CFO Stuart Canfield said that EA is not predicting major releases in 2024, but the next year - 2025 - will be important for the company.

It is in 2025 that the most important releases in major franchises such as Mass Effect, Star Wars and Battlefield will take place. Consequently, fans of the online shooter from DICE studio will not get a new game this year, but will be satisfied with updates for Battlefield 2042.

By the way, EA CEO Andrew Wilson is pleased with the recent performance of Battlefield 2042 and is confident that the launch of the seventh season will attract even more new players. EA is investing heavily in the future of the Battlefield series and hopes that in the long term the game will fully justify them.

But as for Mass Effect and Star Wars - this topic is not quite clear, because neither in 2025, nor even in 2026 new games on these franchises are unlikely to be released. Perhaps by mentioning them, the company wanted to emphasise the scale of the upcoming releases, or perhaps there's something we don't know.
