Summary
Considering the fact that theStar Wars Battlefrontseries is so popular, it confuses fans that noStar Wars Battlefront 3has emerged after all this time. There has been considerable speculation since the second game was released back in 2017 as to when a newStar Wars Battlefrontgame will come, butEAhas pretty much been silent on the subject for quite a while.
There is no doubt that fans of the third-person shooting genre andStar Warsfans would both love another game in this series, so why the delay? There has been plenty of time sinceStar Wars Battlefront 2,so there is no obvious reason as to why this game hasn’t even been announced. Plus, there are loads of reasons why such a game should exist.
6The Story Continues
Star Wars Battlefront 2was released in November 2017. Since then, two big Star Wars movies have hit theaters;Star Wars: A Solo StoryandStar Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker. While these films weren’t met with huge praise from fans and critics, they both contain plenty of content for a new Battlefront game to explore.
Imagine a map of Exegol in the Emperor’s dark new throne room, or playing alongside the marauders fromSolo. There are even new characters to include like Dryden Vos orRichard R. Grant’svillainous Pryde. Fans may not have liked where the story of the sequels went, but there is no denying that they provided some great material for aStarWars Battlefront 3.
5Disney + Content
TheStar Warsfranchise hasn’t just made waves on the big screen in recent years.Disneyhas also made several greatStar WarsTV shows forDisney+. Shows likeThe Mandalorian,Obi-Wan,andAndorhave all been met with praise from fans, which meansStar Warsis still just as popular as ever.
Not only do these new TV shows provide more content for aStar Wars Battlefront 3,but they also afford new storytelling possibilities. One of the best parts ofStar Wars Battlefront 2was the unique story in the campaign mode. The developers need not come up with new material for another campaign inStar Wars Battlefront 3. Just give players the option to play through the events of theDisney+shows, and they will be happy.
4There Have Been Two Attempts Already
NewStar Wars Battlefrontfans may not remember that the new games fromEAare a reboot of theStar Wars Battlefrontseries from thePS2era. Even though these games are considered to not only be some of the best Star Wars games ever made but some ofthe bestPS2games, it has always been a mystery as to whyLucas Artsnever gave fans a third game in this hugely successful saga.
Now thatEAhas given the franchise another swing, it only makes sense that they release a much coveted third installment. There are at least two generations of gamers waiting to see the number 3 on aStar Wars Battlefrontgame, after all.
3EA Will Have Learned A Lesson
AlthoughStar Wars Battlefront 2was largely met with high praise upon release, one of the biggest criticisms surrounding the game was the inclusion of Loot Boxes. These boxes removed some of the fun for a lot of online players and created a pay-to-win environment. As such, many who did not want to engage in the Loot Box mechanics quickly stopped playing.
SinceStar Wars Battlefront 2was largely aimed at young children and teens, the inclusion of this pay-to-win system was viewed as a way to exploit children.This controversy paintedEAin a poor light, so it is unlikely that the company would try such a tactic again. Therefore, the nextStar Wars Battlefrontwill most likely avoid Loot Boxes altogether, providing a fun and fair online system for all players.
2Fallen Order Is Huge
TheStar Wars Battlefront series isn’t the onlyStar WarsgameEAhas released since acquiring the license. TheJedi Fallen Orderseries is an open-world action-adventure game series set in the Star Wars universe. With sleek combat and a big replayability factor,theFallen Order games have been a huge success forEA.
Surely, such a success will have the developers looking for new ways to capitalize on the property. So, why fix what isn’t broken? Instead of trying to come up with a new game concept,EAshould just get to work on finishing a series that needs an ending. The series already has a built-in fan base, and new fans are jumping on board theStar Warsgame wagon, thanks toFallen Order.
1Star Wars Still Makes Money
WhileStar Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalkermay not have lived up to everyone’s expectations, it was still a huge success for the studio. The ninth installment in theSkywalker Sagastill made over $1 billion at the box office. That means a lot of people rushed out to see it in the cinemas.
WithStar Warsbeing such a recognizable IP, it only makes sense that it will draw in the crowds, even when the final project isn’t very good.Star Warshas proven time and again thatit makes moneyin theaters, on TV, or as a video game. Since that is something the developers care about, it only makes sense to try to make aStar Wars Battlefront 3.
