During its year-end earnings call, EA addressed a question about the next Titanfall title. If you want to return to Respawn’s universe, you’ll be waiting at least until 2016.
When asked about whether the title might land in the current fiscal year (ending March 31, 2015), EA suggested a later release. "In terms of Titanfall, you should expect that's not in fiscal 16," said EA chief financial officer Blake Jorgensen. "It's more likely in fiscal 17."
EA has some big titles in store for the remainder of the current fiscal year. You can see the entire slate in our previous coverage.

Last year, Douglas Ladore initiated a lawsuit against Sony Computer Entertainment for incorrectly marketing Killzone: Shadow Fall as having a native 1080p resolution (1920x1080) when in fact its multiplayer resolution is upscaled from 960x1080. This lawsuit has now been dismissed.
While this lawsuit was initially allowed to proceed, U.S. District Judge Edward Chen dismissed the case from court on April 22 with prejudice. The settlement terms are filed under seal, but each party will have to bear its own cost for the trial.
Despite this resolution gaff, is Killzone: Shadow Fall still a good looking game. Read our review here.

EA has announced its financial performance for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015. The company exceeded its revenue and profits from the last fiscal year, with sales up nearly $1 billion (GAAP).
Net revenue was $4.5 billion in fiscal year 2015, compared to $3.6 billion during the last completed fiscal year. Net income increased from $8 million to $875 million.
The company announced plans to repurchase $1 billion worth of common stock before March 31, 2017. Stock repurchases are typically seen as a sign of strength, as the board is signaling to investors that it sees its own company as a strong investment. EA also says that it has accomplished its two-year goal of bring non-GAAP operating margins to 20 percent a full year early.

Tom Hardy has already has his fare share of iconic roles, but after putting Mad Max to rest later this summer, the popular actor is hoping to shoot some bad guys (in a movie, of course).
In a recent interview with Collider, Hardy came down firm on which super hero he'd love to play, and then provided an odd alternative. "I want the Punisher… I want the Punisher, or Splinter Cell, I want something…I don’t know what I want."
Hardy already played Bane, so we could see him wearing a skull on his chest, or a pair of night vision goggles. Here he is getting attacked by a vicious guard dog.
