Peter Moore, big COO cheese of EA, has declared that DICE’s upcoming Star Wars: Battlefront due November is ”rock solid” and very unlikely to get pushed back, although they’d do it if issues cropped up.
Battlefield 4 suffered terribly at launch and landed both the series and creator DICE with a black-mark on its reputation. Spin-off Battlefield Hardline was delayed until March this year.
”…you can’t ship it if it doesn’t work or the quality isn’t right. You just bite the bullet. Trust me, shipping Hardline in March was not the easiest thing to do from a business perspective, but it was the right thing to do from a player perspective,” Moore told MCV.
”We’d have no compunction, no hesitation that if something went wrong with Battlefront, if it wasn’t right, we would just push it.” Moore is very confident in the game’s performance so far.
”But that’s not going to happen,” he continued. ”The game is playable with 40-players already, and it is rock solid, so it ain’t going to happen”. Let’s hope this isn’t a line of banther fodder.
Star Wars: Battlefront is scheduled to release on PC and console November 20th, a month ahead of the new J.J. Abrams directed Star Wars: The Force Awakens movie.
