SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — It’s possible that neutral is the best gear that Electronic Arts Inc. can hope for anymore.
Today Electronic Arts announced its financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year 2024, related to the period between April 1 and June 30, 2023.
EA chief executive officer Andrew Wilson was asked about the company's plans for the Star Wars franchise and the possibility of acquisitions.
They're not looking to acquire, but are they looking to be acquired? That's the big question now with companies like EA, T2, etc.
I really want them to finish up Cal's story so LucasFilm are free to use him in a TV show or Film if he survives in the end anyway
Cal or Ezra should be rebuilding the Jedi Temple Order...not Rey.
1. Yes we do want it
2. One of the biggest recent announcements has been Star Wars Outlaws, developed by someone else.
EA has announced it's developing a brand new third person Black Panther game in conjunction with Marvel at its newly formed Cliffhanger Games.
I've always wanted a Black Panther game...
...I can't say I've always wanted EA to make said Black Panther game.
Reserving judgment, but my feeling is that this game, at best, gets a maximum aggregate score of 70 on metacritic. Not really convinced EA has the vision to pull this off.
Who knows. They have done a couple really good Star Wars game lately.
I have not seen anything at all so I can’t come up with a potential aggregate score.
I don't understand because we have that Captain America game with Black Panther in it set during WW2 coming
I'm pretty sure we'll be able to control him in that aswell
I'd have preferred them tackle another hero like the Punisher, Daredevil, Blade etc
All you need to understand is that Black Panther is an extremely popular character that should've gotten a game a long time ago. And playing second fiddle in a Captain America game ain't it bud.
@SimpleSlave
I doubt he's playing "second fiddle" in that game man, you don't put Black Panther in and don't let us play him.

You mean back in 2005? Like 18 years ago....
Enough with EA for me after that sore tooth launch of Battlefield 2042. They got my €100 for the Gold version and these are the last money they see from me. They could come up with a GOTY but I will never give them my money! I'll find something else to play ...
I guess the question now is which Black Panther?
***giving them more agency and control over their narrative than they have ever experienced in a story-driven video game.***
Okay, let's not try too hard here. That's a pretty high bar for a new studio and either tells me story will be watered down or you're marketing to me heavily too early.
Question is what's up with the other black pather game then with Captain America? Also another question is are Marvel gonna flood the gaming market with Marvel games like how they did with movies and TV series.
I mean, yeah on the flood the market thing. They have plenty of mobile games and I'm guessing they want more out there. I'm certain the Avengers game was a disappointment for them for GaaS, but they will keep trying. They like that ongoing money stream in all their games.
A Black Panther with Chadwick Boseman as the voice would have been great I think. Too bad he has passed on.
you do know AI exists now that can make "Chadwick Boseman" says anything you want, right?
not gonna say they should do it, but it's possible
@badz149
Yes I know they can do that but then it lacks the realism that is Chadwick Boseman and what he brings to the table. Plus you would need his family to ok that.
Karma's a bitch.
They could rebound if they catered to their consumers rather than their stockholders. But that's not likely considering it's EA.
EA time to wake up and start listening to the ideas of your consumers...you can start with Madden....I still can't believe all of the features being taken away in that game! Obsurd, and no excuse!
