A Star Wars Battlefront spin-off was reportedly in development at EA, and poised to release alongside the PS5 and Xbox Series X this coming fall, but it has been cancelled before even being announced. The report comes way of Kotaku that last spring EA cancelled a spin-off of Star Wars Battlefront, making it the third Star Wars game the publisher has canned since 2017. According to the report, which cites numerous sources, the project was code-named "Viking" and was planned to hit this year. However, apparently it was becoming increasingly obvious the game was not going to be able to hit this window, and so EA decided to cut its losses and throw away the project.
