EA came out and expressed the importance of single-player games after the recent controversy. If you’ve been keeping a close eye on the industry and have been around for a while, you’ll know that EA doesn’t have the best track record with single player games. Frank Gibeau, the former president of EA Games, stated in 2010 that single-player games were pretty much dead and people should expect a shift towards online games. After that, people started noticing games like dead space 3 Featuring collaboration with microtransactions and games like Star Wars Battlefront Launch without campaigns. It was a very troublesome move and it proved counterproductive in many cases during major single player games SkyrimAnd the God of WarOthers will continue to dominate.
In June, EA released a prank tweet that many saw as games against one player, prompting all kinds of backlash from the community and even EA developers. It was a fierce relationship to say the least and EA is still trying to make up for it. During an earnings call earlier this week, EA CEO Andrew Wilson emphasized the importance of games in its portfolio and offered some insight into how they choose to make games. However, CFO Chris Suh still notes that the live service and online games are a major part of EA’s success and the company will continue to invest in these types of games.
“When we think about single-player games, we think it’s a really important part of the overall suite that we offer to achieve those core drivers,” Wilson said. “The way we’re going to plan all the time is just to look at our community, look at how they spend their time, and look at where motivations may or may not come true. And we’ll look to complement that with new online games, new multiplayer games, new single-player games “.
EA will be released Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Next year as a single player game only. EA will also publish a new edition of dead space early 2023. However, most of the publisher’s games are still focused on multiplayer, but there is a healthy variety among the company’s portfolio.
