Battlefront 3 and Respawn's Star Wars mentioned in EA earnings report...
EA [has] confirmed that the Star Wars action game from Titanfall developer Respawn Entertainment is shooting for a fiscal year 2020 launch, meaning it’ll be released between April 2019, and March 2020.
Little is known about Respawn’s Star Wars title, as it was only ever mentioned in a supercut trailer of all of EA’s in-development Star Wars game. We do know it’s being lead by veteran Sony Santa Monica director Stig Asmussen.
In November last year, EA acquired Respawn Entertainment, and the Star Wars game was reconfirmed to be in-development.
Interestingly, CFO Blake Jorgensen revealed during the call that the publisher is not yet sure when Battlefront 3 will be released. For a while now, EA followed a two-year development/release schedule, with Battlefield and Battlefront alternating. Theoretically, this would put Battlefront 3 up for release sometime in 2019.

If DICE is planning on having four DLC seasons a year, to match the four real world seasons (why else would they call it a season?), hopefully that'll mean there'll be a good 8+ DLC seasons of content ahead. By the twilight of its life, BFII should have a
ton of content.
