There’s Real Force Behind These Star Wars Battlefront 3 Rumors
Lucasfilm is actively seeking a development partner for Star Wars Battlefront 3, according to reports from Electronic Gaming Monthly’s revived Quarterman column, which claim Disney has “big plans” for the franchise. Two major studios are reportedly positioning themselves for the project: DICE, the original creator of the Battlefront series and developer of Battlefield, and Bungie, the acclaimed studio behind Halo, Destiny, and recently launched Marathon.
Both studios are preparing formal pitches to Disney for the opportunity to develop the anticipated sequel. The news, shared by Giant Bomb’s Jeff Grubb, has generated significant excitement among franchise fans. The involvement of two top-tier developers suggests that a new Battlefront title is likely in active development consideration at Lucasfilm. The outcome of these studio pitches could substantially shape the future direction of the Star Wars gaming franchise, particularly given how previous Battlefront entries have resonated with players.
This development marks a significant moment for the beloved multiplayer shooter franchise and comes amid broader industry activity around major Star Wars gaming projects.
