Star Wars Battlefront 3 Rumor Suggests Two Major Studios Could Take Over the Franchise

An update has surfaced online about which studio might be helming Star Wars Battlefront 3. While there has been no official announcement yet, a rumor suggests that Bungie and DICE might be in the running to pick up the franchise and take it ahead. DICE is a familiar name for fans of Battlefront, as the studio was responsible for developing Battlefront 1 and 2 for EA.

Neither company has publicly confirmed whether they are in the running for the third Battlefront game’s development. The source of the rumor has been reported to be EGM #265’s revived Quartermann gossip column.

The column stated that Disney wants to follow in the footsteps of Star Wars Battlefront 2’s success, which came out in 2017. However, it has not been able to find a studio that would fully commit to the project. It is worth noting that Battlefront II had a notoriously rocky launch in 2017 due to its loot box controversy, but the game eventually evolved into a massive success thanks to years of dedicated updates.

No Star Wars Battlefront 3 deal has been confirmed yet

As much as fans might enjoy it, there is no official confirmation of whether Battlefront 3 is happening. For the foreseeable future, it seems that fans are going to have to make do with legacy mods for Battlefront 2. Despite there being no official information, the rumor strongly suggests that DICE and Bungie are two studios that are likely going to be developing the next installment in the franchise.

For long-term fans, the case for DICE continuing the franchise might be a strong one. Having developed the modern EA reboots, it might seem that Disney might be on the precipice of a blunder if they chose to go with another developer. Bungie, despite being the mastermind behind titles like Halo and Destiny, has faced some rough reception in the last few years. However, should Disney decide to go with the developer for the third Battlefront game, Bungie as well as the franchise might be poised for a comeback.
