Not long ago,Star Wars Battlefrontseemed lost to a galaxy far, far away. There’s always been a dedicated corner of theStar Warscommunity that adores theBattlefrontfranchise, sure, but third installments have had bad omens associated with them. For instance,Free Radical’s nearly finishedStar Wars Battlefront 3was canceledand Pandemic’s attempt at a third installment buckled as it was only given a year of development time.
With seemingly no plans for a thirdStar Wars Battlefrontfollowing DICE and EA’s 2015 reboot and DICE, Criterion, Motive, and EA’s 2017 reboot sequel, a hypothetical third reboot entry has been struck with bittersweet optimism viaStar Wars Battlefront 2’s highest ever concurrent player counts on Steam, whichStar Wars Battlefront 2’s own Iden Versio, Janina Gavankar, shared in a social media post.
All stars seem to be aligning in terms of player and developer demand. But, if by some miracle there is a future where aStar Wars Battlefront 3comes to fruition, it must consider including every shred ofStar Warsiconography imaginable in order to ensure its longevity and franchise comprehensiveness.
Star Wars Battlefront 3 Has Been Given a New Hope
No matter how enticing and hopeful the idea of a possibleStar Wars Battlefront 3may be, especially withStar Wars Battlefront 2developershaving recently shared an interest in returning to the franchise, it’s important to recognize that it’s still facing terribly low odds. If aStar Wars Battlefront 3wasn’t already in development, this might not be a pivotal enough display to make a difference. It’s undeniably neat, though, how many voices are speaking out to demonstrate a desire for the franchise to continue.
Plus, even if one was to enter development due to this abrupt surge in excitement and potential, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it wouldn’t meet the same fate as its predecessor, though at least studios should know what glaring cardinal sins to avoid by circumventingStar Wars Battlefront 2’s mistakes.
Against All Odds, a Star Wars Battlefront 3 Must Endure
Regardless, one way aStar Wars Battlefront 3could hopefully sustain itself and not go extinct is by featuring all possible content in theStar Warslore, whether it’s canonical, a part of Legends, or otherwise.Andoris one ofStar Wars’ most successful and popular projects in quite some time and is indeed what stirred a renewed interest and popularity inStar Wars Battlefront 2, withAndoractor Muhannad Ben Amor chiming in onStar Wars Battlefront 3discoursefavorably.
Therefore, if only to commemorate the Disney+ show as a monumental piece of tinder in its catalytic spark,Andorcontent inStar Wars Battlefront 3would be essential, whether that’s via playable characters like Cassian Andor, Bix Caleen, and Syril Karn, or maps like Ferrix, Narkina 5, and Ghorman. Spanning everyStar Warsera and medium, aBattlefront 3could sate nearly every die-hard fan while also having endless DLCs, expansions, and updates.
This could include expansions that players would be familiar with from previous games, such asStar Wars Battlefront’s epicRogue One: ScarifDLCwith Jyn Erso and Orson Krennic, as well as expansions that feature characters and content that has yet to grace the series, such as a possibleStar Wars: The Force UnleashedorStar Wars Zero Companyupdate. It might not be what led to them ending development, but DICE’sStar Wars Battlefrontgames restricting themselves to the theatrical Skywalker Saga between episodes 1–9 always meant that they’d hit a ceiling they couldn’t shatter eventually.
It would be exhilarating seeing a newBattlefrontgame explore the modern sensibilities of the live-service multiplayer shooter genre and doing so with limitless content at its disposal throughout every nook and cranny ofStar Warscould allow it to have a tremendous shelf life. AStar Wars Battlefront 3would be a dream come true and, considering how low its chances are now, it’d have to pull no punches and truly take advantage of the opportunity it’d have because there might never be another like it.
