Is Battlefront 3 officially in development?

No. As of now, there’s no official confirmation from EA or any studio that Battlefront 3 is in active development.

Who tweeted about getting the Battlefront dev team back together?

Michael Giampa, a developer from the original Battlefront era at Pandemic Studios, expressed interest in reuniting the team for a third game.

Can the original Battlefront team make a new game?

With EA’s exclusivity deal over, the opportunity exists—especially if Lucasfilm Games greenlights new partnerships.

Why are people talking about Battlefront 3 again?

Battlefront II’s popularity has resurged, and there’s growing demand from the community and Star Wars actors for a new multiplayer title.

Will DICE make another Battlefront?

Unlikely in the short term, as DICE is focused on its upcoming Battlefield title. However, the franchise remains a valuable IP.

Star Wars Battlefront 3 Teased by Original Developer Team Reunion

The Battlefront Awakens: Could the Original Devs Really Return?

It’s the kind of tweet that sends a ripple through the Force—and the internet.

In a recent article from TheGamer, an original Star Wars Battlefront developer casually tossed out the idea of reuniting the old team to make Battlefront 3. You know, no big deal—just the spiritual sequel to one of the most beloved multiplayer Star Wars games of all time.

Naturally, that sparked more excitement than a Death Star trench run.

But is this just nostalgic wishful thinking, or could it actually lead to a real Battlefront 3 from the original crew? Let’s break it down—blaster bolt by blaster bolt.

“Let’s Get the Gang Back Together”

The tweet in question came from Michael Giampa, a developer who worked on the original Battlefront games back in the early 2000s. In response to the ongoing Battlefront 3 buzz (which has been very real lately), Giampa posted:

“Let’s get the gang back together for Battlefront 3.”

Cue the internet meltdown.

This isn’t just random noise. Giampa’s post was backed by other developers from the classic Pandemic Studios era chiming in with support. That’s the studio responsible for Battlefront (2004) and Battlefront II (2005)—two games that, to this day, people still mod, replay, and passionately argue over in Reddit threads at 3AM.

Wait, What About EA and DICE?

Here’s where it gets spicy.

As of now, EA and DICE still technically own the modern Battlefront series, having rebooted it in 2015 and followed up with the much-debated (but ultimately redeemed) Battlefront II in 2017.

However, with EA’s exclusive Star Wars license now expired, the franchise is fair game. Other studios like Respawn and Ubisoft Massive are already cooking up Star Wars games, which means there’s room for new (or old) players to jump back in.

So while DICE is currently busy with the next Battlefield title, the door isn’t locked for someone else—like the OG devs—to step up with their own take on Battlefront 3.

A Nostalgic Power Move or a Real Possibility?

On one hand, Giampa’s tweet could be read as a hopeful pipe dream. A “hey, wouldn’t it be cool if?” moment born out of the community buzz and Battlefront II’s recent Steam resurgence.

But let’s not underestimate the power of nostalgia and good timing.

Battlefront II is back on the charts.
Star Wars is booming again thanks to Andor, The Acolyte, and Jedi: Survivor.
There’s a clear appetite for a multiplayer Star Wars shooter that feels both epic and authentic.

Combine that with a group of developers who already nailed the formula once before? You’ve got a spark—and maybe even a fire.

What a Real Battlefront 3 Could Look Like (If We Dare to Dream)

Imagine a Battlefront 3 that blends the large-scale chaos of DICE’s entries with the nostalgic simplicity and charm of Pandemic’s originals. No battle passes. No pay-to-win. Just objective-based warfare, playable heroes, dogfights, and chaotic hallway blaster duels.

Add in:

Modern visuals and performance
Expanded galactic conquest modes
Proper clone customization (you know we want it)
A focus on actual gameplay over monetization schemes

If the OG team pulled that off? Game of the decade potential.

Conclusion: The Gang’s Not Back Yet… But the Force is Strong

Right now, Battlefront 3 isn’t officially in development. But the fact that veteran developers are publicly throwing their helmets in the ring? That’s a spark.

Whether this turns into a full-blown production or remains a dreamy “what if” depends on licensing, publisher interest, and the right studio getting the chance. But in a galaxy where anything is possible—and where the player base is clearly hungry for more—this could be the beginning of something exciting.

So yes, get the gang back together. The galaxy needs you.
