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! — AZZATRU (@A7ZATRU) May 22, 2025 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. Check out Star Wars Battlefront II now playable for Xbox One, PS4, and PC.

The Rally for Star Wars Battlefront III has Begun
May 4 has always been a time to celebrate Star Wars , but maybe because of the hype of Andor , there has been a viral movement to have someone, anyone , make Star Wars Battlefront III . According to Battlefront Updates, ever since May 4, more players have been logging into 2017's Star Wars Battlefront II , and they have peaked at 160,000 concurrent players—which could mean that millions have been playing the game during this recent uptick; and now several fans have been using this momentum to make noise and get a Battlefront 3 made. I was actually covering Battlefront II back when it came out, and knew all about how the game had a poor launch because of EA's monetization system. But following the launch, DICE, and the rest of the development team had been adding some steady expansions to the game, and it eventually grew to be one of the more celebrated Star Wars titles—at least for anyone who played it. Support for Battlefront II eventually ended in 2020 with the Scarif update, but it's considered impressive that a game that hasn't had support in five years still manages to gather this much players. Fans expect the hype to die down eventually by the end of the month, but anyone spamming Battlefront III at any Star Wars related post is hoping that they get enough noise to have Lucasfilm Games consider bringing back Battlefront down the line; and with all the mistakes of the previous games, maybe they'll find out a way to get this one to stay for now. Will this lead to anything? We don't know for sure, but you can play Star Wars Battlefront II now available for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
