Yesterday EA released its reports results for its fiscal third quarter, and there are some interesting titbits of information that gamers might find interesting.

Read the complete article HERE from The Wallstreet Journal

Here are some of the points for those that don’t feel like reading:

  1. EA share price dips
    EA’s share results are expected to decline by 21c a share from last years value. This indicates less than expected earnings from previous years. Perhaps the Star Wars debacle has some kind of effect on them…

  2. Anthem officially delayed
    EA has officially delayed Anthem to 2019. And while EA doesn’t want to call it a delay, merely a shift in property spread across years, but we know what it actually means

  3. Battlefield will get a new instalment this year
    There will be a new Battlefield game released this year around October according to the statements made by EA

  4. Star Wars Battlefront 2 sold below expectations
    EA expected SWBF2 to sell 10 million copies, but fell short of that number and only sold 9 million units. Which is actually still a shit load of copies to sell

  5. Star Wars Battlefront 2 will get microtransactions
    EA’s statement is that they will add the monetization elements to BF2 within the next few months. No specific date, but know it’s coming back.

So what do you think about these? Let us know in the comments below.

  1. As we thought, the people who were vocal about the game and not getting it were the minority, but at least it still looks like it made an impact, just not as big as everyone would have hoped/wished.

  2. No suprise here. We always knew they were coming back, was just a matter of time.

OH, I almost forgot.

So, we all know Respawn has been bought by EA. Well, according to the earnings call, they are working on a new Star Wars action game and will be released in 2020
