"Our live services will continue to evolve with new content. We'll have some great new mobile games, and we're excited to have three new and original IP titles launching in Q4."Though he didn't name any of the titles he was referring to, it seems likely one of them is the adorable platformer Unravel, while another could very well be racing specialists Criterion's new project . Wilson went on to promise "a new Battlefield experience" is also on the way."Looking further ahead, we're preparing more new games for our players," he said. "The reaction to a first look at Mass Effect: Andromeda at E3 was incredibly positive. We have a new Battlefield experience coming in Q3 FY 2017 and another new Star Wars project being led by the dynamic creative team of Jade Raymond and Amy Hennig. These are just a few of the new experiences in development across our studios today."
