Key information
Lucasfilm and Disney are reportedly exploring the development of Star Wars Battlefront 3, a potential return for the multiplayer action franchise that has been dormant since 2017. Reports from Electronic Gaming Monthly, Jeff Grubb, and Insider Gaming suggest that initial discussions are underway to identify a suitable studio for the project.
Two prominent studios are currently identified as potential candidates: EA DICE and Bungie. DICE is considered a logical choice given their history with the 2015 and 2017 entries in the series. Conversely, Bungie, the creators of Halo and Destiny, is noted as a surprising candidate due to their extensive experience in the shooter genre, despite recent internal restructuring.
The previous installment, Star Wars Battlefront II, faced significant controversy at its 2017 launch regarding loot boxes and microtransactions. However, the title eventually regained community trust through consistent content updates. Bungie, meanwhile, remains focused on ongoing projects like Destiny and Marathon.
No official confirmation has been provided by Lucasfilm, Electronic Arts, or Bungie. Sources indicate that these conversations are in a preliminary phase, meaning the project's development is not guaranteed. If the game proceeds, players should anticipate a wait of several years before a potential release.
