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.
