What we know:

  • Earlier this week, an online campaign began circulating online regarding a potential Star Wars Battlefront 3

  • This campaign spread all across social media with people simply commenting “BATTLEFRONT 3” wherever possible in an attempt to raise awareness about the community’s desire for a sequel to 2017’s smash hit

  • As predicted, the Steam player count for Star Wars Battlefront 2 has been steadily increasing throughout this campaign - leading to today where the record was broken

Looking inside:

  • While an online campaign may not be all that’s required for a sequel to Battlefront 2, the outcry has confirmed that there is still plenty of support for the franchise

  • Previous game developers on Battlefront have acknowledged the support but have also revealed that most of the original team has left DICE in the interim which would make a return incredibly unlikely

The big picture: Whether or not Battlefront 3 is in the works or not, the incredible support for Star Wars Battlefront 2 is undeniable. After blowing past its previous player record, the game looks to continue its upward trajectory into Memorial Day weekend.
