The Walt Disney Company (DIS) and Electronic Arts Inc. (EA)   
   today announced a new multi-year exclusive licensing   
   agreement to develop and publish globally new games based on   
   Star Wars characters and storylines.   
      
   Under the agreement, EA will develop and publish new Star   
   Wars titles for a core gaming audience, spanning all   
   interactive platforms and the most popular game genres,   
   while Disney will retain certain rights to develop new   
   titles within the mobile, social, tablet and online game   
   categories.   
      
   "This agreement demonstrates our commitment to creating   
   quality game experiences that drive the popularity of the   
   Star Wars franchise for years to come," said John Pleasants,   
   Co-President of Disney Interactive. "Collaborating with one   
   of the world's premier game developers will allow us to   
   bring an amazing portfolio of new Star Wars titles to our   
   fans around the world."   
      
   "Every developer dreams of creating games for the Star Wars   
   universe," said EA Labels President Frank Gibeau. "Three of   
   our top studios will fulfill that dream, crafting epic   
   adventures for Star Wars fans. DICE and Visceral will   
   produce new games, joining the BioWare team which continues   
   to develop for the Star Wars franchise. The new experiences   
   we create may borrow from films, but the games will be   
   entirely original with all new stories and gameplay."   
      
   Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
