With the firms current known game lineup containing only one known new IP, in the shape of mech shooter Titanfall, EA has been criticised for focusing on existing franchises. This is false according to EA games chief Patrick Soderlund. Speaking to industry magazine MCV, Soderlund stated that the company is infact working on many new IPs and points to the upcoming Mirror’s Edge and Star Wars Battlefront sequels as proof of taking risks on new ideas. 

“We are working on a new Mirror’s Edge game, and although that’s not a new IP, it is a revival done in a new way. We are developing Star Wars Battlefront, which to us is a new IP, even though it isn’t technically,”  he said.

“We have six to eight completely new IPs in the works. The day we stop making new IP is when we go onto life support. We need to incubate new ideas and push creative boundaries.”

With EA’s currently announced titles only including 1 of these IPs, it would appear we could expect some exciting new games coming from EA in the future.
