Key information
Electronic Arts has officially confirmed that its DICE and Respawn studios are partnering on a new, undisclosed project. This announcement, included in a broader update regarding the publisher's future, aims to expand the company's shooter portfolio.
While the specific nature of this collaboration remains unconfirmed, the news has intensified speculation regarding a potential Star Wars: Battlefront 3. Variety has reportedly corroborated these rumors through its own sources, though no official details regarding gameplay or release windows have been provided.
Respawn brings significant experience with the Star Wars franchise, having developed the Jedi series and Star Wars Zero Company. DICE previously managed the Battlefront franchise, which, despite initial controversy surrounding monetization, remains highly regarded by fans who have long requested a sequel.
This announcement coincided with significant organizational changes at EA, including the cancellation of a future Mass Effect title and the closure of BioWare. The publisher stated it looks forward to sharing more information about the DICE and Respawn project when appropriate.
