  "account": "EA has reportedly paired DICE and Respawn to develop a new Star Wars: Battlefront game, according to a report from Variety. Although the news hasn't been officially confirmed, EA's message to staff after BioWare's layoffs hinted at a collaboration between Respawn and DICE. The corporation believes this will allow them to balance resources and leverage technology to create a shooter portfolio that will drive growth. While the previous two modern Battlefront games didn't achieve massive success, a new installment filled with Star Wars elements seems like a promising idea. Both Respawn and DICE have proven their skills in the Star Wars genre, with Respawn's Star Wars Jedi games and DICE's Battlefield 6 receiving positive reviews.",
