The next Star Wars Jedi game might be launched as soon as later this year, according to reporter Jason Schreier, but the other two games are said to be "several years away." Indeed, EA's own press release has encouraged developers to apply for available roles for upcoming games based on the franchise.
Peter Hirschmann, who previously worked on Star Wars: The Force Unleashed in 2008, will be in charge of the first-person shooter (FPS). Most recently, he worked on Respawn's virtual reality game Medal of Honor: Above & Beyond.
Meanwhile, Greg Foertsch, who formerly worked at Firaxis on the XCOM series, will lead the strategic game. Bit Reactor, his new firm, will be in charge of development of the unnamed strategy game, with Respawn providing production support.
Three new games are in the works at Respawn Entertainment, according to EA and Lucasfilm. According to the announcement, Respawn CEO Vince Zampella will supervise all three projects. They include "the next game in the Star Wars Jedi series," as well as two new teams working on two new games based on the franchise.
While there are few details, we do know that one will be a first-person shooter and the other will be a strategy game.
Comment from Sean Shoptaw, SVP, Walt Disney Games, says:
