Ex-Star Wars Battlefront II Dev has an 5-6-Year Plan on How to Get BF3 Made
Ever since the Andor finale, there has been an interesting thing happening with Star Wars Battlefront II in that fans have been making an online campaign for someone, anyone to #MakeBattlefront3. While some fans think that it could be a long shot, a former developer actually has an idea on how they can realistically build-up to a Battlefront 3 with minimal risk and the right development team.
As pointed out by @A7ZATRU, someone on the Battlefront II subreddit claiming to be a former dev has pitched that they don't make a Star Wars Battlefront 3 immediately, but instead release a remastered version of Battlefront II instead.
A former Star Wars Battlefront 2 developer has shared a plan for Battlefront 3 and success.
– Remaster BF2 with improvements for PS6/next Xbox in 2027/28,
– If it does well, make BF3 using knowledge from it.
Also, some of the devs WANT to come back!

They write:
'Hear me out — no Battlefront 3 right now, but Battlefront 2 remaster for whatever future console is arriving in 2027-2028.
Dev time is around 2-3 years. There is a laundry list of improvements that this game could get in my opinion, and getting it updated was always on our wishlist.
Once that is a success, then start work on 3. You have a team familiar with engine, assets, and really could kick of developing a 3 within a much shorter time span, and working on feedback from a fresh Battlefront 2 audience base.
This would be a 5-6 year plan, but it's more likely to be a success.'
Judging by the success of remasters like the recently released Oblivion , it would make sense for Star Wars Battlefront II to get the upgrade treatment. After all, Lucasfilm Games has been focusing on a lot of remasters of older titles (like the original Battlefront II ), and with the recent surge of Battlefront II , it would be a worth a shot to see how viable a new BF project would be.
I mean, if Naughty Dog can re-release The Last of Us a million times, EA DICE can stand to make some money off a game that still gets a lot of positive buzz from fans and the community.
With Battlefront II also covering three Star Wars eras, there's a lot of room for expansions based on new shows like Skeleton Crew, The Mandalorian , and the recently applauded Andor .
We don't know what Lucasfilm Games wants to do now, but a lot are trying to make as much noise as they can about Battlefront 3 while the game has this new momentum.
