Key information
Recent reports suggest Lucasfilm is actively seeking a development partner for a potential Star Wars Battlefront 3. While Electronic Gaming Monthly’s Quarterman column claims Disney has significant plans for the series, the project does not appear to be in full production yet.
Rumors regarding potential developers have circulated widely. EGM suggested DICE and Bungie are circling the project, though Bungie’s current focus on Marathon and Destiny makes their involvement seem unlikely. Conversely, Bulkhead boss Joe Brammer claimed on X that DICE and Respawn are collaborating on the title.
Any potential development faces notable hurdles. DICE’s original team from the 2017 Battlefront 2 era has largely dispersed to other studios like Embark. Furthermore, it remains unclear how a new entry would impact DICE’s ongoing work on the Battlefield series.
Lucasfilm Games vice president Douglas Reilly recently emphasized that triple-A titles like Battlefront remain essential to their strategy. However, he noted that the company maintains a high quality bar, typically favoring experienced teams for such large-scale projects.
