Star Wars Battlefront 3 is talked about following the explosion in the number of players on the second episode. The hype is back and everyone asks a suite now. An old developer speaks.
In 2015 EA and Dice revived a cult license for many fans: Star Wars Battlefront. The first episode, fun, suffered from many shortcomings when it was released, but success was at such an extent that a second game was released in 2017. Star Wars Battlefront 2 was larger, powerful and more generous. Very clearly, the multiplayer FPS had very serious arguments for him, but unfortunately he quickly got his feet in the carpet by revealing Pay-To-Win game mechanics.
Unbearable, the studio had to review its copy, which made it possible to stem the hemorrhage. Even if many players had left the ship, Star Wars Battlefront 2 managed to survive and even clearly improve. Since then, thousands of players have remained on its servers and recently, attendance has even greatly exploded lately, and a potential Star Wars Battlefront 3 is starting to talk about it.
Star Wars Battlefront 2 Cartoon and even explodes the records
Star Wars Battlefront 2 becomes a box again. Still stronger, he set a new record record almost twice as much as possible reached shortly after its release. Sunday, May 25, more than 18,000 Steam players rushed on the game. Why such a craze now? Difficult to say. The excellent series Andorextremely successful, is certainly not unrelated to this renewed popularity, not to mention word of mouth since yes, the game is very good now that there have been very many works.
Since then, Star Wars Battlefront 3 is now talking about him on social networks, so that it ended up going back to the ears of developers who worked on the second episode. This is the case of Matt Holm who came to answer fans on the forums by declaring that despite all this new hype around BF2, you should not expect to see a Star Wars Battlefront 3 anytime soon: “I do not expect Battlefront 3 to be announced at the end of this period of very renewed popularity [autour de BF2] » Can we read on Reddit, and there are several reasons for this.
It is not tomorrow the day before that we will see a sequel
First, most of the developers who worked on Star Wars Battlefront 2 left the ship. The game is almost 10 years old now and the water has flowed under the bridges since then. Then, so far, there was not really any major enthusiasm to justify a return of the franchise, and it would take much more than that to start attracting the attention of EA. Finally, DICE, who took care of the previous games, is super busy with the next Battlefield on which EA seems to want to spend all its energy precisely.
The game is in full intensive development and the test phases are linked, not to mention that several studios came to lend a hand in reinforcement on different game mode to provide an XXL game at the exit. Suffice to say that all the workforce is very busy on the license, there is therefore very little chance of seeing them suddenly scatter. For the moment, therefore, no Star Wars Battlefront 3 on the program, but you too can (re) launch on Battlefront 2. The game is available on PC, but also on Xbox One and PS4. It is obviously playable on Xbox Series and PS5.
