Electronic Arts (EA) has confirmed that its studios DICE and Respawn will work together on a new project, a development that has stoked rumours that the partnership could be responsible for a Star Wars: Battlefront 3 sequel.
In a detailed letter outlining the future direction of the company, EA stated that it is working on new Battlefield titles and that it will bring Respawn and DICE together to develop a future project aimed at expanding its shooter portfolio.
Earlier this week, speculation circulated that the joint effort might be aimed at a new Battlefront title. No concrete details about the game’s scope or release date were disclosed.
Star Wars: Battlefront 3 has long been one of the most requested games in the franchise’s history. DICE’s second attempt at the series was praised by fans, despite controversy over its monetisation model. The demand for a sequel has remained strong, and the current announcement suggests that the studios may finally deliver.
Respawn’s experience with Star Wars titles—most notably the recently released Zero Company and a cancelled Mandalorian shooter—positions the studio well for a new Star Wars endeavour. The partnership could blend Respawn’s expertise with DICE’s familiarity with the franchise.
The news arrived alongside EA’s announcement that it would halt development of the next Mass Effect title and close long‑standing RPG studio BioWare, signalling a strategic shift in the publisher’s focus.
Only time will reveal whether the new collaboration will indeed produce a Battlefront 3, but the potential for a fresh, high‑profile Star Wars shooter is clear.
