Wars Open-World Game In The Works At EA, According To Job Listing
Visceral's linear, story-driven game was rebooted just last year.
 

Electronic Arts is at work on a new open-world Star Wars game, if a newly discovered job opening is any indication. Although the publisher has shared little information about what to expect from the rebooted version of Visceral's game following the studio's closure, we may now have a clue as to what form it will take.
 
The job listing in question was recently published on EA's jobs site. It's for the position of lead online engineer in Burnaby, at EA's Vancouver studio, and it makes no attempt to hide what applicants will be working on. The opening sentence reads, "Lead a team to deliver Online features for a Star Wars Open World project." The rest of the listing doesn't share much else, though there are references to the game being multi-platform (which is little surprise) and a requirement to have "experience implementing Online features such as Matchmaking, Asynchronous interactions, Live services, Server-host migration, etc."
 

 
Let me guess, they will add loot creates to this game too.

    Honestly meh, EA keep screwing up every SW game, and you know they'll find a way to piss everyone off with loot boxes or something else.   They need to pass off the SW IP to a smaller developer with a passion for making good games.

    It’s not just EA it’s all the big publicly traded game publishers. They all do the live services garbage and really if you look at what games consist of now days they are selling the exact same games but with just different settings and assets. Look at Ubisoft for example with the division, ghost recon, for honor, assassins creed. All of these games are designed the same with the same gameplay in the same perspective. Variations of visuals and what is required to succeed but basically the same core game.

    I am not sure that EA could make the Star Wars game we want. Really wish they would do a Tie Fighter sequel with maybe some ground based missions.

    Clickbait misdirection. My bet is it's just someone for SWTOR.
