Rumors about a third Battlefront game
Rumors about a potential third installment in the Star Wars Battlefront series have resurfaced, with multiple studios reportedly under consideration for development. According to journalist Jeff Grubb, citing sources including the historical "Quarterman" from Electronic Gaming Monthly, Lucasfilm is actively seeking a developer to create a new Battlefront game.EA DICE and Bungie in talks
While EA DICE, the studio responsible for the first two Battlefront titles, is a natural candidate, Bungie, known for Destiny and Halo, is also reportedly in negotiations to take over the license. However, the project is currently at the discussion stage and not yet in active development.Conflicting claims about development
Contradictory reports have emerged from Joe Brammer, CEO of Bulkhead Games, who claimed on social media that EA DICE and Respawn Entertainment are already working together on Star Wars Battlefront 3. This assertion raises questions about the current workload of these studios, as DICE is focused on supporting Battlefield 6 and Respawn is managing multiple internal projects.Franchise revival after exclusivity change
The potential revival of Battlefront comes after the end of Electronic Arts' exclusivity agreement with the Star Wars franchise in 2023, which had left the future of the series uncertain. However, the success of recent Star Wars titles such as Star Wars: Zero Company and Star Wars: Galactic Racer in 2026 has reportedly given Lucasfilm Games' president confidence in the franchise's potential.No official confirmation yet
As of now, neither Electronic Arts nor Lucasfilm has officially confirmed the development of Star Wars Battlefront 3 or the identity of the potential developer.
