As part of the ever-expanding Star Wars franchise, EA and Disney will unite to publish games along with Battlefield developer DICE. EA now has the exclusive rights to publish all Star Wars-related video games that aren’t mobile or social. A huge gain when you  consider the epic resurgence the franchise is likely to see in the wake of Disney’s new movies.

Proving that gaming really is a battlefield, Swedish-based DICE has opened a new LA branch to fish in the rival gaming company Activision’s talent pool. The brand spanking new office is apparently hard at work with sixty power nerds working to bring us the latest instalments in the Star Wars world.
