EA's next Star Wars title is a collectible card game for mobile

Electronic Arts has another Star Wars project in the works: It's a collectible card game meets role-playing game titled Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes and it's coming to Android and iOS mobile devices later this year.

EA Capital Games, the developer behind mobile game Heroes of Dragon Age, says Galaxy of Heroes "tap[s] into the fantasy of collecting characters and starfighters and [letting] people enjoy the fun of playing with them creatively." Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes will feature characters and vehicles from throughout the Star Wars universe, including the original and prequel trilogies, and animated series like Star Wars Rebels and The Clone Wars.

In addition to Galaxy of Heroes, EA has Star Wars Battlefront, a new expansion for Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and an unnamed title from Visceral Games in development.

Mobile game publisher Kabam also has its own Star Wars role-playing game for mobile in the works, Star Wars Uprising.
