4 Reasons Electronic Arts' "Star Wars: Squadrons” Could Be a Big Deal

Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: EA) is mostly known for its sports titles, Madden and FIFA, and shooters like Battlefield and Apex Legends, but it also has a deep catalog of Star Wars games that includes content licensed from Disney's Lucasfilm. Gamers will get a taste of that soon as EA recently unveiled Star Wars: Squadrons, developed by EA Motive, the same studio that made Star Wars: Battlefront 2.

Other than new releases from sports franchises, EA doesn't have anything else on the 2020 slate. Squadrons is a flight combat game, so it's not going to get the same hype as a new first-person shooter, one of the most widely played genres in the gaming industry, but there are four reasons why Star Wars: Squadrons could be a surprise hit when it launches Oct. 2.
