EA Canada is developing an open-world Star Wars game for next-gen consoles. A job listing, discovered by Kotaku, states, "EA Canada is looking for an experienced Animation director to help define and deliver on the vision for a major new next gen open world action game."

Two other executive producer position listings may indicate a collaborative process between EA Canada in Vancouver, and Visceral Games in Redwood Shores. EA revealed earlier this year via more job posts that Visceral was working on a next-gen Star Wars project. More recently, it claimed it would be making Star Wars games for the next 10 years.

An animation director job posting from last month reveals that EA Canada has a Star Wars team developing "a major new next gen open world action game." That does not appear to be a typo: while tweeting a link to a combat designer posting for a mysterious open-world title in September, the studio's then-recruiter said the unnamed game was indeed a Star Wars project.

Look forward to ten years of Star Wars micro-transactions.

Nonentity · Nov 27, 2013

Star Wars Effect? Hm. I hope it's more RPG-focused.

jbpaz · Nov 27, 2013

Can't get enough of Star Wars games

JohnTinker · Nov 27, 2013

Imagine Destiny in the Star Wars universe

Nibel · Nov 27, 2013

Probably that rumored Mass Effect x Star Wars game

Mumford · Nov 27, 2013

Star Theft Auto Wars?

That should TOTALLY be the actual name /s

anexanhume · Nov 27, 2013

Wrong developer in Canada. I need KOTOR 3.

EA Canada games typically haven't done that though, right?

TheVoidDragon · Nov 27, 2013

I really hope you don't play as a Jedi and it's not during the Clone Wars. I'd like to see a more serious star wars game for once.

It's called The Old Republic.

Don't screw this up EA Canada

Alcoholikaust · Nov 27, 2013

Do you trust EA to do the right thing? I don't

Can't wait to hear more about it in 3 years.

If done right though... hnnnngggg

Obsidian isn't based in Canada though.

We don't deserve that good of treatment.

Hero_of_the_Day · Nov 27, 2013

How long until we start calling PS4/XOne current gen instead of next? I've been living in the future for almost two weeks now.

Aquamarine · Nov 27, 2013

As long as this is single-player, I would love an open-world Star Wars game.

Canada doesn't believe in microtransactions.

Tell us, what's it like, Future Boy?!?!

Darklord · Nov 27, 2013

Star Wars 1313?

ironcreed · Nov 27, 2013

It sure sounds like a great idea, but the end product remains to be seen. I'll hope for the best.

Not true. I used to be a project manager for a small, Ontario-based F2P game funded purely by microtransactions.

Obsidian IS the hero we deserve, but not the one we need, right now.

EA, not want.

1313 original concept rebooted please

Sign me up.

It will probably be all cartoony and not worth it anyway.

Metroidvania · Nov 27, 2013

While this does sound intriguing, if nothing else, make Bioware give me a proper KOTOR 3, EA.

EA isn't exactly known for having singleplayer only games, unless you mean "is playable in singleplayer".

amnesiac · Nov 27, 2013

I'm actually pretty pumped for Battlefront

I don't care if it is COD: Star Wars

Burbeting · Nov 27, 2013

EA Canada...? But they have mostly made EA Sports games, am I right? Do they have any experience in games like this...

WarMacheen · Nov 27, 2013

30fps confirmed

antibolo · Nov 27, 2013

EA has multiple studios in Canada, why the fuck is one of them just called "EA Canada"? That's awfully ambiguous.

How is this relevant?

Id rather it be a Battlefront Open World Type Game.

EA Canada is original EA Canadian studio, based in Burnaby (Vancouver), they took in the remnants of black box a few years ago.

It's the standard man.

deliver a visually brilliant game at a steady 30 frames per second (the industry gold standard for open-world games)

Ubisoft

It's their main studio I believe.

Professor Lich · Nov 27, 2013

I don't care what happens, just give me space mounties.

Prince Vultan · Nov 27, 2013

Let me take part in speeder races in the forest and you can load the game up with as many fucking tailing missions as you want EA... or E Eh, haw haw... geddit?

THIS

I feel like I can't look forward to anything anymore

Gorillaz · Nov 27, 2013

I don't think they have a Open World franchise under there belt yet right? Like a big name one?

I guess this is it.

I find your lack of micro-transaction purchases... disturbing.

They said open world, so more like star wars-rim
