On kulunut jo yli neljä vuotta siitä, kun DICE ja EA laskivat maailmalle kovan loot-laatikkokohun aiheuttaneen pelin Star Wars Battlefront II. Jatko-osaa ei ole saatu, eikä sellaisesta ole kauheasti edes puhuttu.
Huhuilija Tom Hendersonin mukaan DICElla olisi ollut idea kolmannelle Battlefrontille, mutta sen toteuttaminen olisi ollut erittäin kallista, joten EA hylkäsi idean. Nyt Hendersonin mukaan DICE on työn touhussa uuden Battlefieldin kanssa (siis Battlefield 2042:n seuraajan), joten Battlefrontia ei ole tuloillaan.
"Battlefront 3 was a pitched title from DICE, but ultimately, the title was shot down by EA due to licensing costs. "It got turned down because it takes 20% more sales to make the same money", said one past developer. Although it currently seems that DICE is not working on Battlefront 3 (and instead another Battlefield), there are currently two Star Wars titles in development under EA - But it appears that those titles are more story-driven/single-player instead of multiplayer.
Since several key developers that worked on the Battlefront series have since left the DICE studio in the past year, including the likes of Battlefront II's creative director Dennis Bränvall, core gameplay designer Christian Johannesé, and lead hero designer Guillaume Mroz (cont)
Tom Henderson, it would indicate a Battlefront 3 is very unlikely."
Henderson huhuili samasta asiasta jo aiemmin.
