Open-world Star Wars game coming from EA?

One of the biggest and best surprises at E3 this year was the announcement of a new Star Wars: Battlefront game from Battlefield developers DICE and publisher EA. But it sounds like that won’t be the only Star Wars title from the publisher; an open-world game could be coming too.

Job postings at EA Canada, found by Twitter’s Superannuation, suggest as much. The studio is looking for an animation director to work on “a major new next gen open world game”, which was confirmed to be a new Star Wars game shortly thereafter.

It’s possible that this game is the same one under development at Dead Space developer Visceral games.

It’s a promising concept to say the least. What would you want to see from an open-world Star Wars title?
