With Microsoft set to acquire Activision Blizzard, EA is on the cusp of becoming gaming’s biggest western third-party publisher in terms of revenue and market cap. The company has sustained success for decades — despite notable controversies surrounding its business practices — thanks to a diverse portfolio of games, from mobile money makers and annual sports titles to AAA experiences from renowned in-house studios like Respawn, DICE, and BioWare.
Considering how difficult it is to keep track of all that’s going on within such a massive publisher, we decided to compile this list of every EA game we know to be in development for consoles and PC. (This list doesn’t include rumored projects or the publisher’s many phone games in development at Glu Mobile, Playdemic, or its other mobile-focused studios.)
Click through the gallery below or continue scrolling for our rundown of all 17 console and PC games in development at EA, as of February 2022.
One of EA’s most exciting projects is a ground-up remake of Dead Space in development at Motive Studio, the developer behind Star Wars: Squadrons and Battlefront 2’s story mode.
Motive’s take on Dead Space will be fully rebuilt in EA's Frostbite engine, with Assassin’s Creed Valhalla game director Eric Baptizat at the helm. Working alongside Baptizat is creative director Roman Campos-Oriola, who was the lead designer on Ghost Recon: Future Soldier. Campos-Oriola says the remake will include “all new assets, new character models, [and] new environments” based on the original designs.
While the team doesn't want to mess with the series’ foundation, it is open to making certain changes. On the gameplay front, Motive has added a new damage system called peeling, which allows players to shoot the flesh off of Necromorphs. It's a grotesque visual treat that also serves as a sort of diegetic health bar for enemies, much like Isaac Clarke's spine-mounted lights.
Other potential changes include the implementation of Dead Space 2’s improved zero-gravity gameplay and slight adjustments to the story, such as creating references or links to events that occur in the sequels.
Mike Yazijian, former art director at EA Montreal on Dead Space 2, is leading art direction on the remake. Also returning is actor Gunner Wright, the original voice of protagonist Isaac Clarke.
Based on an early look at the remake, Dead Space is shaping up nicely. As work continues at Motive, the team is checking in with the community to assure it doesn’t make any game-breaking changes: “We don't want to be in siloed and create our own bubble of the game we're making,” said senior producer Philippe Ducharme. “So from the conception, we've reached out to members of the community to create a community council to be a sounding board for what we were making.”
Respawn is officially working on a Fallen Order sequel titled Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. Director Stig Asmussen, who helmed 2019's Fallen Order, is once again leading development on the sequel.
Based on the brief debut trailer, Survivor will continue the story of Cal Kestis, who is all alone at the beginning of the sequel, still on the run from the Empire. It also appears his signature lightsaber has fallen into the hands of the enemy.
Fallen Order was a high point for EA during its time as the exclusive maker of Star Wars video games. It “significantly” exceeded EA’s sales expectations and went on to become the second best-selling Star Wars game of all time in the U.S., as of March 2021.
We awarded Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order a 9/10 and placed it second on our list of the best soulslike games.
BioWare’s next epic RPG is the fourth installment in its Dragon Age series. It was originally said to be a “live” game, but has since shifted to a single-player focused experience. It’s seemingly in development for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
According to a BioWare development book, Dragon Age 4 will be set in Tevinter, a nation that’s yet to be visited in the Dragon Age games. The location was teased at the end of Dragon Age: Inquisition’s Trespasser DLC.
Behind the scenes, some key talent has left the Dragon Age 4 development team, including former BioWare GM Casey Hudson, Dragon Age executive producer Mark Darrah, senior creative director Matt Goldman, and executive producer Christian Dailey. Gary McKay now serves as studio GM; Corrine Busche, formerly a senior design director, is now directing Dragon Age 4.
In early 2022 BioWare confirmed the next Dragon Age is now in the middle of production: "Our blueprint was completed last year, so we’re now focused on building out our vision: creating amazing environments, deep characters, strong gameplay, impactful writing, emotional cinematics – and much more," said McKay.
The series’ last game, Dragon Age: Inquisition, was released eight years ago. It was IGN’s 2014 Game of the Year.
Release Date: TBA | Platforms: PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC | Developer: BioWare
Alongside the next Dragon Age, BioWare is developing a new entry in its sci-fi saga, Mass Effect. As of February 2022, the development team was "actively prototyping new ideas and experiences."
Little is known about the new Mass Effect besides what’s been shown in its sole trailer and promotional poster. The reveal trailer seems to confirm the return of Liara T'Soni (or at least an Asari that looks very much like her), while the 2021 N7 Day poster contains “at least five surprises," according to BioWare GM Gary McKay.
Several key developers from the original trilogy have returned to BioWare to work on the series' fifth installment, including narrative designer Dusty Everman, cinematic designer Parrish Ley, art director Derek Watts, and programmer/designer Brenon Holmes. The project is being led by 13-year BioWare veteran Michael Gamble.
While the series’ latest entry, 2017’s Mass Effect Andromeda, was built using Frostbite, BioWare is reportedly considering a return to Unreal, the engine used to create the original trilogy.
The new Mass Effect will presumably ship after the next Dragon Age, meaning our return to BioWare’s beloved world is likely years away. The long wait provides a great opportunity to revisit the original trilogy through the remastered Mass Effect Legendary Edition.
Release Date: TBA | Developer: BioWare
A new Need for Speed is in development at Criterion Games, the studio best known for creating Burnout.
The long-running racing series returns to Criterion after a four-game stint at Ghost Games (now EA Gothenburg). Criterion previously developed 2010’s Need for Speed Hot Pursuit and 2012’s Need for Speed Most Wanted. The studio also worked with Ghost Games on 2015’s Need for Speed Rivals.
The new racer was put on hold last year when EA tasked Criterion with helping DICE get Battlefield 2042 out the door. With the latest Battlefield now released, Criterion’s focus has presumably returned to Need for Speed, which is in development for current- and last-gen consoles.
While an official release window has not been announced, VCG reports the new Need for Speed is targeting a Q4 2022 release. It’ll be EA’s first original Need for Speed game since Need for Speed Heat in 2019.
EA's most recent announcement is a single-player, third-person, action-adventure Iron Man game in pre-production at Motive Studio. The project is being developed in collaboration with Marvel Games and "will feature an original narrative that taps into the rich history of Iron Man, channeling the complexity, charisma, and creative genius of Tony Stark, and enabling players to feel what it’s like to truly play as Iron Man."
Development on the untitled Iron Man game is being led by Olivier Proulx, who most recently served as a senior producer on Eidos-Montreal's Guardians of the Galaxy game.
Motive will first release the Dead Space Remake in January 2023.
Release Date: TBA | Developer: EA Motive
The second of three Star Wars projects currently in development at EA is a first-person shooter led by Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond director Peter Hirschmann.
Hirschmann, a former VP of development at LucasArts and executive producer on the original Battlefront games, said he and the team are looking to past Star Wars first-person shooters as “a guiding light for this new project.” He specifically called out Dark Forces and Dark Forces II as inspirations.
There's currently no release window for the shooter.
Release Date: TBA | Developer: Respawn Entertainment
Alongside Star Wars Jedi 2 and the untitled FPS, EA and Respawn are working on a third Star Wars project: a new strategy game led by 20-year Firaxis veteran Greg Foertsch. Respawn will produce the game while development is handled by Bit Reactor, a studio formed by Foertsch and other ex-XCOM devs in early 2022.
Foertsch told GamesIndustry.biz the studio’s objective is to blur “that line between what a strategy game is and what an action game is."
Nothing else has been revealed about the project, but considering Bit Reactor’s formation was just announced, EA’s Star Wars strategy game is almost certainly years out.
Release Date: TBA | Developers: Bit Reactor, Respawn Entertainment
