EA is planning to release a major IP by early next year, according to a recent investors meeting, and a lot of fans believe that this title could be Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. EA has had somewhat of an interesting relationship with the gaming community in recent years. Once, the company was seen as having too much of a focus on multiplayer titles, and while some still hold onto those beliefs, it is clear EA is looking to change how it is viewed. Recently, the company affirmed that it will continue its focus on single-player gaming.

EA does have some strong single-player titles lined up for early next year and beyond. With the Dead Space remake coming out in January 2023 and a Black Panther game stated to be in development, there are options for those who don't enjoy the multiplayer experience. A lot of fans point to 2019's Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order for when EA saw a resurgence in creating single-player titles, and they've been wanting a sequel to the space-faring adventure ever since.

It was confirmed in an investors meeting on November 1 that EA has one major IP slated to come out before March 31, 2023. As outlined by PCGamer, there are a few reasons why this title could be Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, including multiple sources stating in the past that the sequel to the Soulslike was planned to drop in early 2023. If this is the release EA discussed in the investors meeting, the game would certainly fall under the criteria of being a major IP, as it is tied to the Star Wars universe and the first title proved to be a massive success for EA when it launched back in 2019.

Even while promotion for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor has remained quiet over the past year and there hasn't been much revealed about the game since its announcement earlier in 2022, EA is reportedly changing up how it markets its upcoming releases. According to CEO Andrew Wilson, the company is thinking more about the "most appropriate time" to begin revealing information. This confirms previous statements from industry insider Jeff Grubb about why there might not be a hype train for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor until near the game's release.

There hasn't been any official confirmation from EA about whether this "major IP" is Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, so fans shouldn't build up their expectations until the company reveals what it plans to release early next year. It has recently been announced that EA has a deal to create three Marvel games, so it could even be the case that the company will show off one of those titles as the major IP discussed in the investors meeting.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is expected to launch in 2023 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X.
