Star Wars Battlefront 3 Could Break New Ground, but Only if EA Takes the Risk

After years of speculation and fan campaigns — and a major surge in interest in all things Star Wars Battlefront after Andor season 2's success — Star Wars fans finally got some fantastic news: Star Wars Battlefront 3 exists.

Although the news came shortly after the sad announcement that legendary RPG studio BioWare would be shut down, EA president and chief studio officer Cam Weber also revealed that Respawn and DICE would collaborate to bring Star Wars Battlefront 3 to life.

It’s been nearly a decade since DICE released Star Wars Battlefront 2. While its launch was far from rosy because of pay-to-win mechanics that DICE and EA quickly revamped after widespread backlash, the multiplayer game eventually became a well-loved addition to the Star Wars video game universe. Speaking strictly for myself, I’m pumped to see where Respawn and DICE take Battlefront 3.

That said, we do have opinions. Specifically, where we hope EA and the Battlefront 3 developers take the action-shooter next: The High Republic.

Playing fan-favorite characters in familiar settings is central to the Battlefront series. But EA also needs to avoid retreading old ground, and we believe the best way to do that is to explore the High Republic era.

Now, the idea of Respawn and DICE exploring the High Republic does come with some caveats. For one thing, one of the Star Wars Battlefront franchise’s biggest draws is its epic scale. In both the 2015 and 2017 games, players could join monumental battles spanning eras from The Clone Wars to the Rise of the First Order.
