There's Real Force Behind These Star Wars Battlefront 3 Rumors

Talk of Star Wars Battlefront 3 has ramped up this week, with a number of studios reportedly in with a chance of developing the shooter sequel.

The rumor kicked off when Giant Bomb’s Jeff Grubb read out a snippet from Electronic Gaming Monthly’s revived Quarterman column, which claimed Disney has “big plans” for the Star Wars Battlefront series. According to EGM, Lucasfilm is looking for a development partner for Battlefront 3, and two studios are “circling” the project: DICE, developer of Battlefield and Battlefront, and Bungie, developer of Halo, Destiny, and Marathon.

The potential for a Battlefront 3 is hugely exciting for fans of the series, of course, and if it does end up green lit, DICE would be the obvious course to develop it, although how the game would fit with the ongoing work on the Battlefield series remains to be seen.

Bungie, though, would be a huge surprise as developer of Battlefront 3. The Sony-owned studio is working to turn around struggling extraction shooter Marathon, and only last month Bungie said more Destiny is coming, months after ending support for Destiny 2. It feels unlikely that Bungie would have the scope to make a fully fleshed out Battlefront 3, at least not any time soon. Would parent company Sony even be receptive to such an idea? Would Bungie?

Plot twist! Joe Brammer, boss of Wardogs developer Bulkhead, just… tweeted it out . But rather than Bungie, it’s Titanfall, Apex Legends, and Star Wars Jedi developer Respawn that’s working with DICE on Battlefront 3, according to Brammer.
