It’s no secret that Star Wars Battlefront 2 came with some controversy after it initial launch.  But that all changed and it turned into one of the most successful Star Wars games ever.  It is so successful that even though updates on the games have ceased there are still new players joining the online platform of the game.  The love of Battlefront 2 has created multiple communities and social media outlets which has lasted over three years.  When EA and DICE made the decision to shut down work on the current version fans were hopeful that soon we would be getting an announcement of a third installment of the Battlefront series.  That unfortunately did not happen and DICE producers told the fans that they were being assigned to work on other projects outside of Star Wars.

When Lucasfilm Games made their triumphant return this week many fans wondered if this meant the end of EA making more Star Wars games.  Luckily, EA will continue to make Star Wars games while allowing other gaming companies to make games as well.  In fact we got the announcement that Lucasfilm Games and Ubisoft are teaming up to make an open world Star Wars game. This news has been a welcoming sign for gamers as we should be getting a lot more Star Wars games in the near future.

Now EA can focus on the games that worked for them.  Although there hasn’t been an official announcement yet we have heard that Jedi:Fallen Order 2 is already in development.  The other EA game that has been successful for EA is the mobile game Galaxy of Heroes.  But most fans would agree that Battlefront is the Star Wars gaming series that everyone wants.  

With the announcement that Lucasfilm Games will oversee all game projects and EA lost their exclusivity this will allow EA to focus on their best projects.  This could be the opportunity for EA to make the Battlefront series as big as the Call of Duty franchise.  Just imagine a new Battlefront game coming out every other year. There have been some interesting tweets and posts from the cast of Battlefront 2 that make it seem they are working on a new project.  Hopefully as a Battlefront fan we will get that announcement soon.
