EA can’t “double down” on Star Wars without BF3
EA announced that they are “doubling down” on Star Wars games. I don’t see how they can do that without releasing another game in Star Wars’ best franchise Battlefront.
Forum Discussion
Squadrons is already announced. EA’s statement on “doubling down” was based on future Star Wars games. Why wouldn’t you want more BF content? They ended service on this game and there’s not going to be any continued support ...thus BF3 needs to be part of this increase in Star Wars games.
@BDawkin20 Their Star Wars contract expires in 2023 I believe, but they might have first dibs on renewing it (to quote EA: We have a very good relationship with Disney. We have a very good relationship with Lucas...). If this is true, I’d be extremely happy to play any game they make. Battlefront 3 would be perfection, as they have many games to learn from their mistakes by now. I hopped onto Battlefront 2 for the first time since the final patch in May, and I encountered no bugs, I encountered a tiny bit of lag which is my own Wifi‘s fault, and I encountered a fun afternoon spending time on one of my favourite games. This is the vision EA is talking about. And this is the vision I hope lives on in Squadrons, and stays with us in Battlefront 3.
