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.
