EA recently announced that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:🐽three n𒈔ew Star Wars games are on the way from developer Respawn, but after that, it seems like the publisher i🗹s done with the franchise altogether. This means those hoping for a third installment in the Star Wars: Battle🔯front series will have a long wait ahead of them.
This information comes from GamesBeat reporter Jeff Grubb who claims that Dice will not be making a new Star Wars: Battlefront game, instead choosing to focus on Battlefield 2042 and the franchise as a whole. EA's alleged motive to step away from Star Wars is because the publisher wants to reduce licensing fees and focus on its own IPs.
The reception to Battlefield 2042 has been less than stellar, with EA itself disappointed with its performance, so much so that it's even considering 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:making the game free-to-play. Players are dissatisfied with the game's 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:recent lackluster updates, and Battlefield 2042 players on Steam have been 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:refunding the game in droves.
It's not too surprising that Dice wants to focus on Battlefield since Battlefield 2042's recent launch was nothing short of atrocious, and not making another Battlefront game could free up more resources that otherwise would have been spent elsewhere. It's unfortunate news for Battlefront fans as a third game might be a long way off - if it happens at all - but Dice's commitment to Battlefield will hopefully give current Battlefield 2042 players some renewed hope that improvements will be made soon.
As for Respawn's three upcoming Star Wars games, we already know that the developer is working on a sequel to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, reportedly to be 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:announced before E3 and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:released later this year. The second will be a first-person shooter headed by Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond director Peter Hirschmann, and the third will likely be a turn-based tactics game from newl🥀y founded indie studio Bit Reactor, a team made up of several veteran developers responsible for the Xcom series.
