Star Wars is a pretty big deal. The video games based on the classic franchise is an even bigger deal. Some of the best video games ever made have come from the franchise, and now Disney has signed a deal to put Star Wars in the hands of EA. <\/a><\/p>\n

As per the terms of the deal, all of the core titles in the Star Wars universe will be made and published by EA.

There have been no specific announcements, but people are already speculating what we might see from these developers. <\/p>\n

Gamers seem to be especially excited at the prospect of a DICE-developed Star Wars game. DICE is best known as the developers of the excellent Battlefield<\/em> franchise, and some see their involvement as a sign that Star Wars: Battlefront III<\/em> could soon be a reality. <\/p>\n

Disney probably still owns the assets created by Free Radical and DICE could use those assets as a jumping off point for its own Battlefront game.
