There is ongoing chatter that Star Wars Battlefront 3 could happen and it’s not just wishful thinking alone this time. The renewed popularity of Star Wars Battlefront 2 has sparked speculation about EA revisiting the franchise. That comes as Battlefront 2 recently hit its highest player count in four years.
The sudden jump in Battlefront 2 player count caught attention across the community. With fans jumping back in and playing more than they have in a while, the renewed interest has brought up conversations about what a true sequel could look like. In interviews and posts shared on social media, several former developers hinted they would gladly return to work on a new installment if given the chance. While no official project has been announced, the momentum behind the idea is building fast.
There’s been no official confirmation from EA, but the timing feels just right for the stars to align. Battlefront 2 had a rough start at launch, but eventually earned praise after multiple free updates and community-focused improvements. Years later, players seem to be returning in large numbers, which only adds to the case for a follow-up.
The idea of Star Wars Battlefront 3 has been talked about for a while, but publisher support never fully appeared after Battlefront 2. Now, with a rising player base and clear developer interest, it’s the closest it’s felt to being possible in a long time.
Currently, EA holds the license to develop Star Wars games, though Lucasfilm Games has been more open in recent years, allowing other studios like Ubisoft and Quantic Dream to make games set in the universe, which could open the door for broader collaboration or even a new studio to take the lead, if EA doesn’t pull the (blaster) trigger. Still, the Battlefront brand remains closely tied to DICE and EA, at least for now.
For players who’ve stuck with Battlefront 2 over the years, the thought of Battlefront 3 isn’t just exciting, it’s earned. And for newcomers showing up thanks to the current revival, it’s a reminder that there’s still room for big multiplayer Star Wars shooters if handled right.
