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."
