If you've been holding onto hope that EA might be interested in making a third Star Wars Battlefront with developer DICE, we've got bad news — according to a report from VentureBeat, that definitely won't be happening.
The report says that, following today's announcement about three new Star Wars games from developer Respawn, EA won't be making any other Star Wars titles after those are finished, so any Battlefront plans have been totally nixed:
"Battlefield developer DICE will not make a new Star Wars: Battlefront game — according to people familiar with the announcement..."
This isn't overly surprising news, of course, especially considering it was reported back in November that EA had "shot down" a pitch for Star Wars Battlefront 3, reportedly due to reasons surrounding licensing costs.
Nevertheless, it's a huge shame considering DICE did some incredible work to turn around the horrific launch of Battlefront 2 and turn it into one of the very best Star Wars games in recent memory. Star Wars always seems to work in trilogies, but for whatever reason, the Battlefront series has never managed to quite get there...
Sad about this? Would you have liked a Battlefront 3? Let us know down in the comments below.

I played Battlefront 2, and it was good fun, but I'm not clamouring for yet another one.
I mean, it doesn't need a third one. Battlefront 2 is in such a good state (at last) that a third one would exist just for the sake of it. If that means the developers focus on something different, I'm all good with that.
Dice are dead...they won't be making another battlefield either
After the disaster that was Battlefront 2 Disney probably doesn't want to deal with another mess.
@pip_muzz I heard that the game isn't anymore. Apparently the game caught Covid and players can't even kill each other. This was just a week ago.
Why would they? They released two bad ones that still only beat the originals in graphics only.
Maybe remaster the original Battlefront 2 with modern graphics.
Then you'll have a huge hit.
He said specifically that Dice wouldn’t make it…. Is it possible Respawn could be working on a new Battlefront as one of their 3 Star Wars titles? Respawn was after all founded by the creators of call of duty and titanfall. They know a thing or two about first person shooters.
I would be down for a third battlefront game if Respawn
was in charge of development
It was a good call, let someone else make it.
Raven Studio, maybe.
