If you watched the EA Play livestream from E3 2017, you no doubt noticed something was missing: the upcoming Star Wars title from Visceral Games.
Obviously we didn’t think EA would go full banana with it, but even a tease for the 2018 game would have been nice.
According to Visceral’s Amy Hennig (thanks, ffronw), the reason we didn’t see a thing from the upcoming title, was due to today, and this year in general, being the year of Star Wars: Battlefront 2.
It's #Battlefront2's year – very proud of our friends at DICE and Motive! We're still hard at work on our game, though, have no fear…

Co-writer Todd Stashwick reiterated Hennig’s comment, before also posting a link to a video showing a quick 15 seconds of the game from 2016.
Where is the @amy_hennig / @ToddStashwick #StarWars #EAPlay reveal???

Visceral’s Star Wars title has been in the works for a while now. With Uncharted creator Amy Hennig penning it alongside the story team at Lucasfilm, and Uncharted’s Todd Stashwick co-penning, the game should have an interesting storyline.
And don’t forget: Respawn Entertainment are also working on a Star Wars title, so we have that to look forward to as well.
Until then, keep yourself occupied with Star Wars: Battlefront 2’s story campaign, multiplayer, free DLC and probably a bunch more.
Star Wars: Battlefront 2 is out on November 17 for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
