What Is the Future of 'Star Wars Battlefront'?

The Star Wars Battlefront series, developed by DICE with its latest entry in 2017, has seen renewed interest but no third game is currently in development.
This resurgence stems from renewed Star Wars popularity fueled by shows like Andor, May the 4th celebrations, and fan calls for Battlefront III despite former developers noting no active projects.
Battlefront II initially faced backlash over microtransactions, which EA rebranded as 'surprise mechanics', yet it has gained a growing player base and critical post-launch updates integrating all trilogies.
Dan Nanni, Battlefront II's designer, explained that a Pandemic-made third game stalled due to communication breakdowns with LucasArts and insufficient development time despite promising technology.
With DICE focused on Battlefield and the original team dispersed, hopes for Battlefront III remain slim, suggesting that a remaster or fan-driven events might best sustain the series’ community momentum.
