I received a tip from an industry insider that EA is hiring currently for a yet-to-be-announced Star Wars game.
According to their website, they’re seeking two Executive Producers for this unnamed Star Wars game, one to be based in California, the other to be based in British Columbia. Additionally, they’re looking for a “Senior Environment Artist Visceral” for this Star Wars project.
British Columbia and the California location are the homes of EA’s “Visceral” subsidy. That’s a company that put together games like “James Bond 007: From Russia With Love”, the games based on “The Godfather” franchise, and most recently the Dead Space games, ending with Dead Space 3.
What this Star Wars game might look like is anyone’s guess. Could it be a new sort of game? Could they be picking up development of an older franchise? Could they be making a sequel to a former, beloved game? We have no answers yet, but EA does and they’re hiring the people to make it happen.
You can check out the job postings here on EA’s website, though I have heard that they are notoriously difficult to work for, you’d be working on Star Wars.
If you feel you have even a remote chance of being qualified, the worst you could do is apply.
