EA reveals new Battlefield and Titanfall games are coming in the next year (update)

Electronic Arts is reloading.

New Battlefield and Titanfall games are coming in the next fiscal year, EA chief executive Andrew Wilson said today in a conference call with analysts. That was the first glimpse of new games coming from EA, which beat earnings expectations in the most recent quarter and is a bellwether for the overall $90 billion game business.

Wilson said that in fiscal year 2017, EA expects to launch a “new Battlefield game from EA DICE in time for the holidays,” and a “new Titanfall experience.”

Battlefield is EA’s long-running first-person shooter modern-combat series, with billions of dollars in revenues generated throughout its history. The Titanfall game will be the first follow-up to the original from developer Respawn, which used EA to publish the original title in March 2014.

“It’s a little early to talk about Titanfall at this juncture,” Wilson said. “We have great faith in that team to deliver a spectacular game.”

Meanwhile, EA is launching Mirror’s Edge: Catalyst on May 24. Mass Effect: Andromeda is also launching in the next fiscal year, which ends on March 31, 2017. EA is also launching Unravel, a realistic platform game on Feb. 9; Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2 on Feb. 23; and EA Sports UFC 2 on March 15.
