There are days, players and Star Wars The fans began to express their desire for another Star Wars Battlefront game Battlefront II From 2017 received an additional wave of attention recently; Its number of players increases on PC, and the community aims to capitalize on renewed popularity with a global event of a day to increase its number “and highlight the sustainable spirit of the Forehead community.”
All this was stimulated by Star Wars’ May 4 Holidays and Andor Star Muhannad Ben Amor (who played Wilmon) recently called for another entry: “Granded with Battlefront II was a veteran since the first day, let’s hope Battlefront III arrived. “”
On almost 20 years, the multiplayer shooting series had two lives. His first two games were published during the Star Wars Prequel to and produced by The Late Pandemic Studios, while the second more recent pair comes from Battlefield Dice of developer. Neither has reached number three, but a version has almost occurred; A Battlefront III Because the original series was in the development of several developers, in particular Shot Free radical conception of the creator. Before EA seizes the Star Wars Lucasarts license, Lucasarts tried to restart the games with an entry only online, a multiplayer in smaller scale and a fourth game taking place in an alternative reality where Obi-Wan and Luke were Sith Lords, but nothing came from these efforts. Once the dice have ceased to support its Battlefront II In 2020, the The sub-series was once again mia.
Questions of knowing if Star Wars Battlefront Can come back – and why it should be brought back – are closely linked and difficult to answer. Making games for this property has sometimes been difficult demand over the years. Some of the most famous Star Wars The games are those who have never occurred, like the Boba Fett featured 1313 or third entries for Knights of the old Republic And Unleashed force, two sub-series that existed alongside Forehead. Even EA had its problems; He canceled a project focused on pirates from visceral games and motive studios, and more recently killed a first -person shooter centered on a Mandalorian who was in preparation in Rapawn, creators of acclaimed Star Wars Jedi Games.
The dice are currently fully focused on the next Battlefield game and several other EA studios are on site as a support, which means another Forehead I could not reasonably come from EA, and even less so early. Mats Holm, a former producer live on Battlefront II, Recently said as such on Reddit, rather suggesting a remaster of the previous game as aMorce before developing an appropriate suite, preferably with anyone from the previous team who wanted to work there. The said remaster would be the best potential “in”, but the problem is there with EA: while the fact of the pandemic Forehead The games have been remastered, the electronic arts can be more selective than other publishers with what it chooses to remaster or redo.
Since 2019 Order fallen, Star Wars kept her video game eye concentrated on solo titles, including Ubisoft Star Wars Outlaws and 2026 Zero Company of the bit reactor. Other than space -focused space Squadrons Star Wars, EA has no receipt to Star Wars multiplayer, perhaps because the controversy around Battlefront II The initial monetization was so disastrous and strongly criticized, this is the reason why the publisher is no longer the only one who can create approved games for the franchise. And then there is Fortnite: Thanks to the recent “Galactic Battle” link event, to many skins in play for several franchise characters, and the important audio newspaper of the plot which reveals Palpatine somehow returned for Skywalker’s Rise, Battle Royale of Epic Games has become the most important multiplayer shooting game that the franchise could have.
The two previous incarnations of Star Wars Battlefront There was at a time when they could be the only place where all the franchise could exist. Battlefront II has already been marketed as a unification point for the three trilogies and as part of the game rehabilitation efforts,, Dice has paid everything he had, then some in the updates after the launch which incorporated cards, weapons and characters from the consequences and prequels, Rogue One, And Solo. In time since Dice ended the game support in 2019, Star Wars did not just be linked to Fortnite, It also does not have coherent dynamics that would help justify a real Battlefront III event.
Come 2026, The Mandalorian and the Grogu will probably get a Fortnite attachment of a kind, just like the Disney + series Maul: Lord of the Shadow and 2027 Starfighter movie. As And that No. Star Wars has become trapped in the network of epic games, and it is doubtful that Disney will stop anytime soon.
Hope for a Star Wars Battlefront III Could never really die, it doesn’t matter how stupid the chances. But as Star Wars Between a new phase of his life which promises more films and shows, and hopes to explore a moment during and after the aftermath, you have to ask yourself how it would integrate into the conceptions of the franchise, and which will be there for that when online games, whatever their size, are quick to reject.
