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.

What Is the Future of ‘Star Wars Battlefront'?
Days ago, gamers and Star Wars fans started voicing their desire for another Star Wars Battlefront game. DICE's Battlefront II from 2017 has received an extra surge of attention as of late; its player count is growing on PC, and the community aims to capitalize on the renewed popularity with a day-long global event to increase its numbers 'and showcase the enduring spirit of the Battlefront community.' This has all been spurred by Star Wars' May 4 holiday and Andor star Muhannad Ben Amor (who played Wilmon) recently calling for another entry: 'Grew up with Battlefront II; been a veteran since day one, let's hope a Battlefront III happens.' Over its almost 20-year life, the multiplayer shooter series has had two lives. Its first two games were released during the Star Wars prequel era and made by the late Pandemic Studios, while the second, more recent pair come from Battlefield developer DICE. Neither have made it to number three, but one version nearly happened; a Battlefront III for the original series was in development from several developers, including Timesplitters creator Free Radical Design. Before EA took hold of the Star Wars game license, LucasArts tried restarting the games with an online-only entry, a smaller scale multiplayer entry, and a fourth game set in an alternate reality where Obi-Wan and Luke were Sith Lords, but nothing came of these efforts, and the Battlefront sub-series is once again MIA. The questions of whether Star Wars Battlefront can come back—and why it should be brought back—are closely linked, and tricky to answer. Making games for this property has occasionally been a tough ask throughout the years. Some of the most famous Star Wars games are the ones that never happened, like the Boba Fett-starring 1313 or third entries for Knights of the Old Republic and Force Unleashed, two sub-series that existed alongside Battlefront. Even EA's had its troubles; it canceled a pirate-focused project from Visceral Games and Motive Studios, and more recently killed a first-person shooter centered on a Mandalorian that was in the works over at Respawn, creators of the acclaimed Star Wars Jedi games. DICE is currently focused entirely on the next Battlefield game and several other EA studios are on hand as support, meaning another Battlefront couldn't reasonably come from EA, let alone any time soon. Mats Holm, a former live producer on Battlefront II, recently said as such on Reddit, instead suggesting a remaster of the previous game as a primer before developing a proper sequel, preferably with anyone from the previous team who wanted to work on it. Said remaster would be the best potential 'in,' but the problem there lies with EA: while the Pandemic-made Battlefront games have been remastered, Electronic Arts can be more selective than other publishers with what it chooses to remaster or remake. Since 2019's Fallen Order, Star Wars has kept its video game eye mostly focused on single-player titles, including Ubisoft's Star Wars Outlaws and 2026's Zero Company from Bit Reactor. Other than the space combat-focused Star Wars Squadrons, EA's yet to recommit to Star Wars multiplayer, possibly because the controversy around Battlefront II's initial monetization was so disastrous and heavily criticized, it's the reason why the publisher's no longer the only one that can create licensed games for the franchise. And then there's Fortnite: thanks to the recent 'Galactic Battle' tie-in event, numerous in-game skins for several franchise characters, and the plot-important audio log that reveals Palpatine somehow returned for Rise of Skywalker, Epic Games' battle royale has become the most important multiplayer shooter the franchise could have. Both previous incarnations of Star Wars Battlefront existed at a time where they could be the only place where all of the franchise could exist. Battlefront II was already marketed as a unification point for all three trilogies, and as part of the game's rehabilitation efforts, DICE poured everything it had and then some into post-launch updates that incorporated maps, weapons, and characters from the sequels and prequels, Rogue One, and Solo. In the time since DICE ended support for the game in 2019, Star Wars hasn't just found itself linked to Fortnite, it's also not made consistent momentum that would help justify a real Battlefront III happening. Come 2026, The Mandalorian & Grogu will likely get a Fortnite tie-in of some kind, as will the Disney+ series Maul: Shadow Lord and the 2027 Starfighter film. Like Andor's Lonni Jung, Star Wars has become trapped in the web of Epic Games, and it's doubtful Disney will cease that partnership anytime soon. Hope for a Star Wars Battlefront III could never truly die, no matter how much the odds are stacked against. But as Star Wars enters a new phase of its life that promises more movies and shows, and hopes to explore a time during and after the sequels, one has to wonder how it would fit into the franchise's designs, and who will be around for it at a time when online games, regardless of their size, are quick to be cast aside.

《戰地風雲6》宣布職業不綁武器自由選擇，玩家反彈怒：《戰地4》是最佳平衡例子
《戰地風雲》最新作《戰地風雲6》（Battlefield 6）在最近的《戰地風雲》實驗室中宣布，將不綁定職業使用武器可以自由選擇，並透過職業標誌武器跟被動特質等展現特殊性質，但回應社群反而相當不開心，認為《戰地風雲4》的職業與戰場狀態是最好的平衡，為何總是要搞些莫名其妙的內容打破舊平衡。 《戰地風雲6》實驗室最新公告表示，職業將能隨意自由使用全部武器，而每個職業都會有其標誌型武器，如偵查兵使用狙擊槍時，能有更長的偋住呼吸時間優勢，但任何兵種都能使用狙擊槍，DICE 表示讓玩家透過自己的選擇與需求，立即更換適合的戰場應對，但社群反應相當不佳，認為這又是 DICE 莫名其妙想打破前作的正常平衡舉動，也舉出了《戰地風雲4》的職業裝備綁定結果是最好的狀態，沒有必要做出這種自由化改動，也有人質疑這樣自由化重點是販售槍枝造型適用所有職業的方便等。 — Battlefield (@Battlefield) May 21, 2025 《戰地風雲6》目前還沒有確切的上市時間，根據先前的訪談希望在 2026 年之前推出，《戰地風雲6》測試遊戲截圖與遊戲實機畫面也從 3 月開始大量流傳在推特等平台。 This whole weapon class lock thing is the best test of intent from DICE with Battlefield 6. - Will they listen to feedback?- Or are they yadayadaing it away for a year like with the specialists? — DANNYonPC (@DANNYonPC) May 22, 2025 緊貼最新科技資訊、網購優惠，追隨 Yahoo Tech 各大社交平台！ 🎉📱 Tech Facebook： 🎉📱 Tech Instagram： 🎉📱 Tech WhatsApp 社群： 🎉📱 Tech WhatsApp 頻道： 🎉📱 Tech Telegram 頻道：
