    Fact check: Have Disney and EA really confirmed Star Wars Battlefront 3? Exploring viral rumor

    The Star Wars Battlefront series is making a surprising comeback. First launched in 2004, the series gained popularity during the PlayStation 2 and original Xbox era. Many fans still view that generation as the series’ golden age for multiplayer fun.

    In 2015, Electronic Arts rebooted the franchise with a new Star Wars Battlefront. The game looked stunning and captured the feel of the Star Wars universe. But it lacked substance. There were too few maps, limited gameplay variety, and shallow character classes.

    EA attempted to fix this with Star Wars Battlefront II in 2017. The sequel offered major improvements. It added more content, polished multiplayer, and even included a single-player campaign. The story was set between Return of the Jediand The Force Awakens.

    Star Wars Battlefront III: Loot Boxes Hurt the Sequel’s Launch

    Despite these improvements, Battlefront II faced major backlash. The game had an excessive XP grind. Players had to work long hours to unlock characters or abilities. Worse, progress was tied to random loot boxes. Many saw this as a pay-to-win system.

    EA and developer DICE eventually changed the system. They removed the worst aspects of the microtransactions. But the negative press had already damaged the game’s reputation. Many assumed the series would end there.

    However, fan interest hasn’t died. In fact, Battlefront II is gaining traction again. The PC version on Steam has seen a surge in players. This trend was recently highlighted by the Twitter account StayBombastic.

    Player Numbers Spike Years After Release

    According to Steamdb, Battlefront II hit a 24-hour player peak of 7,816. While this is lower than the 2021 all-time high of 10,489, it’s still impressive. The player base has grown significantly, especially for a game released nearly eight years ago.

    The reasons behind this resurgence are unclear. It could be nostalgia, recent discounts, or renewed interest in Star Warsgames. Regardless, the numbers show people are returning.

    Fans are now speculating about the future. Could this spark interest in Battlefront III? There’s no confirmation yet. But the current momentum suggests the franchise still has life.

    After years of ups and downs, Star Wars Battlefront II is proving it still has a place among players. It may have stumbled at launch, but it’s slowly reclaiming its footing—one Steam login at a time.
