There's Real Force Behind These Star Wars Battlefront 3 Rumors
Talk of Star Wars Battlefront 3 has ramped up this week, with a number of studios reportedly in with a chance of developing the shooter sequel.
There is significant buzz surrounding potential Star Wars Battlefront 3 development, with rumors circulating that both DICE and Respawn, developers behind Titanfall, Apex Legends, and Star Wars Jedi, are exploring the possibility of working with Lucasfilm. According to Joe Brammer, head of Bulkhead, which creates games like Titanfall and Apex Legends, DICE and Respawn are reportedly working on Battlefront 3.
However, the source material does not specify if these studios are actively in pre-production or merely in the early stages of conceptualizing the project. The notion of Bungie, known for Halo, Destiny, and Marathon, taking on Battlefront 3 development has also been discussed, though the source material does not confirm this, and the studio is presently focused on reviving its Marathon franchise and advancing Destiny and Destiny 2.
The Star Wars Battlefront series has faced mixed reviews in the past, with the 2017 sequel, Battlefront 2, receiving criticism over its loot box system, which led to a significant player backlash. The franchise has had a resurgence since the 2015 release of Star Wars Battlefront, developed by DICE, which enjoyed greater success.
Despite the current excitement surrounding potential Battlefront 3, it is essential to consider the hurdles that previous attempts at the game have faced. Still, with Star Wars video games currently experiencing a positive period, there is optimism that a new Battlefront installment could be a success.
