Although the high-profile closure of Visceral Games and the canning of Amy Hennig’s Star Wars project came down to EA wanting a more multiplayer-centric game, it seems that the company isn’t giving up on single player entirely.
A new job listing (thanks, Wccftech) for EA Vancouver’s Star Wars team suggests that the game will feature a single-player narrative. The advert for a Lead Online Designer states:
