<p>We still do not know much, or really anything at all, about <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/titanfall/">Titanfall</a> developer Respawn Entertainment&#8217;s new Star Wars game outside of the fact that it&#8217;s a <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/new-star-wars-game-coming-from-titanfall-studio/1100-6439492/">third-person action game</a>. But now we know a little more: when it might launch.</p>
<p>During an earnings call today, EA CFO Blake Jorgensen said this untitled and officially unannounced game will most likely debut in EA&#8217;s Fiscal Year 2020. This revelation came in response to a question about when a new <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/star-wars-battlefront/">Star Wars: Battlefront </a> game might launch.</p>
<p>Jorgensen it is more likely that Respawn&#8217;s game launches in Fiscal Year 2020 rather than a new Battlefront. Jorgensen said EA has not decided when or if it will release another Battlefront game.</p>
<p>EA&#8217;s Fiscal Year 2020 runs April 1, 2019 through March 31, 2020. So that means Respawn&#8217;s new Star Wars game could launch sometime in that far-away window.</p>
<p>Respawn&#8217;s Star Wars game is being directed by<a href="https://www.gamespot.com/god-of-war-iii/"> God of War III </a> director Stig Asmussen. The developer pitched it to EA but <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/titanfall-dev-recalls-pitching-its-star-wars-game-/1100-6444575/">the publisher apparently was not all that enthusiastic about it, but eventually warmed up to the idea</a>. Last year, <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/ea-now-owns-titanfall-developer-respawn/1100-6455409/">EA purchased Respawn in a deal potentially worth more than $450 million</a>.</p>
<p>In 2013, <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/ea-and-disney-team-up-for-star-wars-games/1100-6407982/">EA signed a 10-year deal with Disney for the Star Wars video game rights</a>. So the publisher has a few more years left on that agreement assuming it hasn&#8217;t already been quietly extended. During the earnings call today, EA CEO Andrew Wilson stressed that EA&#8217;s relationship with Disney was not damaged by the controversy surrounding <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/star-wars-battlefront-ii/">Star Wars: Battlefront II</a>&#8216;s microtransactions. </p>
<p>EA&#8217;s latest mainline Star Wars game was 2017&#8217;s Star Wars: Battlefront II, which <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/star-wars-battlefront-2-underperforms-microtransac/1100-6456447/">underperformed, shipping 9 million copies instead of the 10 million that EA projected</a>.</p>
<p>A new Battlefield game is coming this year, reportedly scheduled for October, though EA has yet to officially announce this game. </p>
