Star Wars Battlefront launches November 17th, a month for The Force Awakens arrives in cinemas, but EA will allow the hype to slip away and delay the game if they feel the shooter's "quality isn't right".
That's the message of EA chief operating officer Peter Moore, who was asked about the possibility by MCV at E3 last week.
“You can’t ship it if it doesn’t work or the quality isn’t right,” Moore commented. “You just bite the bullet. We’d have no compunction, no hesitation that if something went wrong with Battlefront, if it wasn’t right, we would just push it.
“But that’s not going to happen. The game is playable with 40-players already, and it is rock solid, so it ain’t going to happen.”
Battlefield 4 suffered severe problems after launch and prompted EA to delay both Dragon Age Inquisition and Battlefield Hardline last year to ensure they offered players a more polished experience. Inquisition was delayed by a month from October to November, while Hardline was pushed back to March 2015 – though it too suffered its share of issues post-release.
Moore admitted that launching Hardline in March was “not the easiest thing” from a business perspective, but it was the “right thing to do from a player perspective.”
Star Wars Battlefront is coming to PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
