While Star Wars Battlefront 2 is experiencing a fairly mind -blowing popularity, players are mobilizing to push Electronic Arts to consider the development of Star Wars Battlefront 3.
There are sometimes mysteries that we cannot be explained. While Star Wars Battlefront 2 It was released almost eight years ago, you might think that players have already moved on to something else for a long time. Especially when you know that the franchise has been entitled to multiple projects since, as Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order or Star Wars Jedi: Survivor For example. But no. For a few weeks, Battlefront 2 definitely seems to come back in force, to the point of relaunching the hype around a potential Star Wars Battlefront 3.
Eight years after its release, Star Wars Battlefront 2 returns in force
Things were not won when Star Wars Battlefront 2 was released at the end of 2017. Because at the time of its launch, the title developed in collaboration by DICE, Motive Studios and Criterion Games had quickly been pinned for its abusive use of loot boxes, which were similar to a form of Pay-to-Win. An aberration then largely decried by the players, who however seem today to have forgiven this gap at Electronic Arts by returning en masse to the title.
Indeed, around the end of May, Battlefront 2 began to experience a revival of popularity as impressive as it is dazzling, which then led him to bring it together more than 175,000 players in all platforms combined. Suffice to say that this is a feat for a title released in 2017, which has also not received any update recently. Of course, we imagine that the success of the series Andorwhose season 2 was broadcast between April and May on Disney+there is something to do with it. But it is still a sacred surprise.
Players are demanding Star Wars Battlefront 3
Especially since, for a month, the enthusiasm of the players has not falls back. On the contrary, even since these last two days, Star Wars Battlefront 2 has finally managed to exceed his own record on multiple times with a peak at 35,892 players recorded on June 22. Again, for a title released in 2017 and having received no new content recently, this is extremely unusual. And inevitably, this all the more motivates the fans to arrest Electronic Arts to demand the production of a Star Wars Battlefront 3.
They are not the only ones. At the end of May, Muhannad Ben Amor, alias Willmon in the Andor series, also made a big call from the editor to claim the return of Star Wars Battlefront. “” Star Wars must offer us Battlefront 3 as quickly as possible. I grew up with Battlefront 2 – I have been a veteran since the first day. Hopefully Battlefront 3 arrives “He said in particular on his Instagram account. Words which, surely, have only contributed to putting the title under the spotlight.
In the process, the producer of Battlefront 2, Mats Helge Holm, had also decided to speak by indicating that he and his team would be entirely ready to resume service if Electronic Arts asked them. “We want to bring the gang together” Had he notably entrusted a user on Reddit, before however to specify: ” I do not expect Battlefront 3 to be formalized at the end of this campaign. But, yes, I think there are people who are talking about it at the moment ».
A difficult wait to fill
Unfortunately, even if it had to eventually happen, it would probably be necessary to wait long years before seeing a potential Star Wars Battlefront 3 become reality. And for good reason, the American publisher currently seems to want to focus on the return of Battlefieldwho needs more than ever to regain his letters of nobility after the failure of Battlefield 2042. In fact, there is no doubt that Dice, motivates as Criterion, all associated with the project, are already well occupied. That said, if the request is maintained, maybe Electronic Arts will seriously think about it for the future …
