Big changes are coming to Electronic Arts after the announcement of its privatization, an operation that is generating consequences without even being completed.
For fear of layoffs, possible cancellations or loss of creative freedom, reactions of rejection or concern are the majority.
Except at the top of EA. In addition to reassuring your team, managers forecast record revenues; in particular in 2028something that can only be explained if they are preparing a major launch.
EA Sports FC 26 is the new installment in the quintessential football saga. The franchise formerly known as FIFA evolves with an annual update of players and the most notable new features.
EA prepares a big hit for 2028
Electronic Arts published your financial forecast for the next six years; growth data that completely transforms when reaching 2028.
As analyst Stephen Totilo points out, the years before and after the estimate an annual increase of approximately US$400 million in net profit.
However, In 2028 the value will quadruple, rising to almost 1.2 billion dollars. And it does not follow any official explanation.
One thing must be highlighted: we are not talking about the entire 2028, but about your fiscal year. That is, the one who runs from April 2027 to March 2028.
If we take these deadlines into account, we can leave Mass Effect 5 out of the equation. Even if the game becomes a bestseller, BioWare has made it clear that it still has a lot of development time.
Another option could be Battlefield 7but we are in the same situation: it is very unlikely that the sequel will be ready in less than three years.
Yes, the Star Wars Jedi: Survivor sequel could fit into these time frames; but although EA prides itself on its sales, It has not been disclosed that they are astronomical.
No matter how EA Sports FC and other sports titles perform, revenue estimate appears to exceed profits that these titles generate.
There remains one great option, a game with millions of fans around the world, and whose new installment could break sales records: The Sims 5.
For now, EA has only confirmed the existence of Project Rene a new simulator that would not replace the successful The Sims 4; but it would coexist with it.
Traditionally, each new installment of the saga replaces the previous one. But despite being eleven years old, The Sims 4 is still in great shape.
With more than 85 million users and sales that, in its last update, exceeded 30 million units, The Sims 4 continues to be a golden goose for EA.
Is Electronic Arts preparing to release The Sims 5 before March 2028? It could be the company’s biggest success and even surpass inZOI’s competition.
