You can love or height Electronic Arts, but they are for decades one of the biggest video game publishers in the world and that's going to stay like that in years to come.

In a matter of fact, they have just revealed plans which show that they have one of the most ambitious fiscal years ahead of them, and all that in the middle of the pandemic. On Tuesday's investors call, Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson stated that EA plans to launch 14 new titles during the fiscal year 2021.

In the video game industry, the fiscal year ends on 31 March, so that means that Electronic Arts is planning to deliver 14 games in the next 11 months. This might sound like a massive number, but given that they have a lot of annual games, as well as some remasters and ports, then you see that the number doesn't really sound that much mind-blowingly.

For now, we know that usual annual sports games are coming as planned: IFA, Madden, and NHL. Wilson also mentioned another, forth sports game, but he did not say anything specific about it. Then, we have games that we already know about, Command & Conquer Remastered, Burnout Paradise Remastered for the Switch, and the Medal of Honor VR game.

 

Electronic Arts for years now has their "EA Originals" program, which aims to help creative indies to deliver their games, and some of those would probably be amongst these 14 games. EA Originals has brought as games like A way out, Fe, Sea of Solitude, and Unravel, which were all high-quality indie games, so we are happy to see more of them coming.

Hazelight Studios, A Way Out developers, are currently working on an unnamed new game, so that's probably coming later this year or early next year.

Finally, Wilson added that they are working on two new mobile games, one new IP and some other project that are slowly "starting to come together". It is almost sure that Battlefield 2021 won't be part of this 14 games, since that game will probably come out sometime in the second part of 2021, after the end of the fiscal year.
