Star Wars Battlefront 3 in early talks with Bungie and DICE

Lucasfilm is reportedly weighing potential development partners for Star Wars: Battlefront 3, with Bungie and EA DICE emerging as candidates in early discussions. Reports indicate that Disney wants to capitalize on the sustained player base that Star Wars Battlefront 2 has maintained since its 2017 release.

Disney reportedly holds some hesitation regarding EA due to the historical controversy surrounding loot boxes in the previous entry. While DICE remains a natural fit given its past work on the franchise, Bungie represents an unexpected alternative for the intellectual property. Insiders note that Bungie previously faced rejection from Sony Interactive Entertainment after pitching a high budget for a potential Destiny 2 sequel.

Neither studio has officially committed to the project, and the game is not yet in active development. Bungie taking on the franchise would likely require the studio to put its other plans on hold. Lucasfilm remains in the early discussion phase while evaluating options for the series.
