Electronic Arts is reportedly preparing a new Star Wars game of the open-world

It's no exaggeration to say that Electronic Arts has screwed up with its last videogame from Star Wars franchise - Star Wars Battlefront 2 - especially when we consider the fact that the company lost 3.1 billion dollars due to the controversial implementation of loot boxes in the mentioned title. However, it seems that such a development of the situation has not been thrown out of the track since they are already looking for people who would join the work on the new Star Wars videogame.

Specifically, EA has offered a job in which searches for a person who would take over the responsibility of a major engineer of online component to "lead a team that will deliver the online features to StarWars project of the open world". Also, the job description states that an employee is required to ensure that his design is available on multiple platforms, meaning that this title will not be exclusively related to a particular system.

Unfortunately, the rest of the ad does not offer any specific details regarding the content of an unnamed project in the far galaxy, but one of the claims states that a person applying for a job must have "experience in implementing online features such as matchmaking, asynchronous communications, live services, host server migration, and so on. "

In any case, the work of the chief engineer of the online component for the Star Wars game of the open world is tied to EA Vancouver, which by closing of the Visceral Games in the tenth month last year took over the development of their Star Wars project. Since EA then decided to make a complete turnaround because Visceral's idea of a linear storyline action adventure did not match, we can say that this project, based on online experience, fits in their scheme. However, the question is how the players will react to it.
