Then, they released another 5 games with the help of other developers: Fallout 3 was developed by Bethseda Studios and Fallout: New Vegas was developed by Obsidian Studios. The upcoming Fallout 4 will be released in November 2015 by Bethseda Studios.

Second, the Star Wars: Battlefront series. There are 2 Star Wars: Battlefront games so far, the first and the second. The first was released in 2004 and the second was released in 2005. These games were developed by a bunch of companies but only a few are still continuing the development of the franchise. These are Electronic Arts (or "EA"), Digital Illusions CE and Disney Interactive Studios. The new and upcoming family member to this franchise will be released in November 2015.
