Single-player games are a “very, very important part of the portfolio” of publisher Electronic Arts, CEO Andrew Wilson said on a conference call with shareholders, saying gamers look to games for inspiration, escapism, social connection, competition, self-improvement and creation.
EA developers think and reflect on these player motivations when creating worlds, storytelling, developing a global online community, and working on single-player games. It can be said that single-player story games make the portfolio of this publisher richer, or rather more diverse.
EA is currently developing a single player game. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Age of Dragons: Dreadwolf and a horror action remake Dead space. Let’s hope that this part of the gaming market will be considered by the publisher in the future. There have been rumors lately that EA is preparing a single-player open-world game. Black Panther. Plus Respawn is looking for developers to develop a single-player shooter from the world Apex Legends. Moreover, now they discover fresh unconfirmed information about the development of the adventure iron Manwhich is also considered single user.
Chief Financial Officer Chris Su added that live services account for nearly three-quarters of EA’s total revenue.
“This is a proven, highly reliable and frequently recurring source of income that will continue to be the dominant factor in our earnings reports. [zisk a ztráta]” Suh stated.
Recall that it was the head of Electronic Arts said at the end of 2010 that single-player games are dead. This was after the release of the very, very unsuccessful Anthem from BioWare. Luckily, he no longer works for EA.
