Will Star Wars Battlefront 3 Finally Rise from the Ashes?

by

Recently, it appeared that the much-loved game, Star Wars Battlefront, might be disappearing from our universe for good. Despite the passionate fanbase that cherishes the Battlefront series, each third iteration has been plagued by ominous signs. For example, Free Radical’s nearly completed Star Wars Battlefront 3 was scrapped, and Pandemic’s attempt at a new installment faltered due to being granted just a year for development.

Despite no official announcements about a third installment of “Star Wars Battlefront” from DICE and EA following their 2015 reboot and the 2017 sequel, there’s a glimmer of hope sparked by the record-breaking concurrent player counts on Steam for “Star Wars Battlefront 2.” This optimism was expressed by Iden Versio from “Star Wars Battlefront 2” herself, Janina Gavankar, in a social media post.

It appears that both players and developers are eager for a new Star Wars Battlefront game. If by some chance such a game as Star Wars Battlefront 3 is developed, it should aim to incorporate all possible Star Wars imagery to maintain its relevance over time and cover the entire Star Wars franchise spectrum.

Star Wars Battlefront 3 Has Been Given a New Hope

While the prospect of a new Star Wars Battlefront 3, given the enthusiasm shown by the developers of Star Wars Battlefront 2, may be appealing, it’s crucial to acknowledge that its chances are still remarkably slim. If a Star Wars Battlefront 3 isn’t already in production, this interest might not carry enough weight to influence the decision. However, it’s fascinating to see so many people expressing their wish for the franchise to persist.

Additionally, if a new project were to be initiated based on this sudden spike of interest and promise, it doesn’t automatically guarantee that it won’t suffer the same fate as its forerunner. However, at least studios can learn from the obvious errors made in Star Wars Battlefront 2, aiming to steer clear of those mistakes.

Against All Odds, a Star Wars Battlefront 3 Must Endure

To ensure the longevity of a potential new game like “Star Wars Battlefront 3“, it could be wise to incorporate all elements from the extensive “Star Wars” universe, encompassing both canonical and non-canonical material. The recent success of shows like “Andor”, which has reignited excitement for “Star Wars Battlefront 2“, suggests that this approach could work well for the new game as well. Even “Andor” actor Muhannad Ben Amor has expressed positive sentiments about “Star Wars Battlefront 3“.

To truly honor the Disney+ series “Andor” as a significant influence in igniting new interest in the Star Wars universe, it would be indispensable to include Andor content within Star Wars Battlefront 3. This could manifest through playable characters such as Cassian Andor, Bix Caleen, and Syril Karn, or settings like Ferrix, Narkina 5, and Ghorman. A Star Wars Battlefront 3 game would span all eras and mediums of the Star Wars universe, fulfilling nearly every hardcore fan’s desires while providing endless opportunities for downloadable content, expansions, and updates.

Scarif DLC with characters Jyn Erso and Orson Krennic, as well as unseen content such as updates based on Star Wars: The Force Unleashed or Star Wars Zero Company. It’s worth noting that the limitation of the Star Wars Battlefront games to only the Skywalker Saga may have eventually prevented them from growing beyond a certain point.

Experiencing a fresh installment of the Battlefront series, delving into the contemporary aspects of live-service multiplayer shooter games, and utilizing the vast resources of Star Wars lore to offer an endless array of content could ensure its long-term success. A potential third Battlefront game would be a cherished wish fulfilled. Given the slim prospects at present, it needs to make a bold statement and seize every opportunity afforded to it, as there may not be another chance like this in the future.
