Electronic Arts
Confirms Battlefront In The Rotation |
EGMNOW.com has an article
about the future of the new Star Wars Battlefront. Electronic Arts plans on
rotating Battlefield, Titanfall, and Star Wars: Battlefront releases going
forward, president of EA Labels Frank Gibeau told CVG.
“The shooter
rotation we think about now is Battlefield, Titanfall, and Battlefront, and so
we like those three brands going forward,” Gibeau told CVG. “We’re working out
how we’re going to line that up because that’s what you’ll see from
us.”
What this more or less confirms is the franchising of Titanfall and
Battlefront and that—pending any kind of impossible-to-predict floppage—there’ll
be consistent new releases for those franchises over the next few
years.
Battlefield 4 kicks off the rotation October 29 on PS3, Xbox 360,
and PC, with PS4 and Xbox One versions to follow in November. Titanfall is due
out spring 2014, while Battlefront‘s release could be as late as summer 2015
(which would coincide with the next Star Wars film).
Great news for you gaming fans! |

Star Wars New
Zealand Interviews Artist Paul Shipper |
Our good friends and fellow SWORA member SWNZ, Star Wars New Zealand
interviews artist Paul Shipper.
"Paul Shipper is a kiwi by choice, having emigrated from Manchester to New
Zealand, with his family, a few years back now. A talented and established
artist, Paul has worked with topic material from a couple of Lucasfilm
franchises. As a freelance illustrator, his clients include GQ Magazine,
ITV/Granada, and importantly, from a Star Wars perspective, Topps Inc, Wizards
of the Coast and WizKids Games. For Topps, Paul contributed to the Star Wars
Galaxy 4 card series interpreting an historical moment featuring Yoda and a
pre-dark side Dooku as allies; his work for that line also includes the image on
the rear of each sketch card - a rendition of the climactic 'Return of the Jedi'
lightsaber battle. For Wizards and WizKids, Paul has bought to life characters
and scenes from the silver screen and the expanded universe, and re-created
montages in classic Original Trilogy styles. We are very pleased that Paul has
given us some of his time to explore the background to his artwork."
